Affairs. The word affair can have very different meanings depending on the context. In 2010, the most common use of the word describes a romantic, sexual, or passionate relationship sometimes of limited duration, between two people who are not married to each other, and generally married to someone else. There are many different kinds of cheating, though some of them overlap: marital affairs, love affairs, emotional affairs, sexual affairs, cyber and Internet affairs, and the list goes on. Whatever the type of affair, it is still cheating despite people tending to justify it.

Let's start with the basics of cheating:

• Who is having affairs?
• Why is my spouse having an affair?
• When are they cheating?
• Where has the affair been taking place?
• How did the affair begin?
• What causes people to have an affair?
• Is it still cheating if I want to find a woman for my wife to have an affair with? NO!! As long as she is willing.
  

WHO IS HAVING AFFAIRS?

It seems like almost everyone has decided to have an affair and more and more turn to the #1 website for cheating. You constantly hear in the news about famous people being caught or their mistresses coming forward or the man apologizing to his wife for cheating. The bigger reality is that there are more than hundreds of thousands of men and women across America that are cheating on their spouses at this very moment and they will not make the news. They are doctors, lawyers, accountants, and your average hardworking American, and they know what they are doing and able to keep it hidden from you. The majority of marital affairs are being instigated by the male portion. While females will cheat on their partners, they are much less likely to engage in that kind of behavior.

WHY IS MY SPOUSE HAVING AN AFFAIR?

When a couple gets married, they say their marriage vows and promise, "until death do us part." The interesting part is that a vow of monogamy is not usually, if ever, part of a marriage vow. Tiger Wood's multiple affairs were likely caused from a sense of entitlement, power, and narcissism.

Spouses cheat on their partners and have an affair for any number of reasons. It should be noted that the reasons men have an affair are generally different than the reasons females have an affair. Typically speaking the #1 reasons that men look to have an affair are sex and boredom. These reasons are completely different than the two main reasons women choose to have an affair. The #1 reason that women resort to cheating are emotional reasons and financial reasons. When one of the parties in a marriage is not getting what they need in their relationship, they will seek what they want outside of their relationship.

WHERE IS THE AFFAIR TAKING PLACE?

There is many places that that initial spark for an affair can occur, and most are on social networking websites. Today, affairs are just much easier to engage in because of the Internet and programs like Skype. The ability to have an affair is at one's fingertips... literally through cybersex and other means. Men are increasingly impulsive and compulsive and lacking self-discipline. If an affair is taking place, you can pretty much be sure that cell phones, the Internet, and/or technology is being used to keep the affair going.

HOW DID THE AFFAIR BEGIN?

How did the affair start is slightly different than the question on why it began. How it began was more than likely out of curiosity. Because this site is designed towards women and men make up the majority of cheaters, we will focus on things from a man's perspective. He likely started looking through websites such as craigslist and maybe even found an old lover on Facebook. He likely would tell you he was checking them out just to see what was out there, out of curiosity. In the back of his mind, he is ready to cross that line and checking to see where he could go to cross it.

Affairs start on social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter (Anthony Weiner), and MySpace. They also happen on websites like Adult Friend Finder. You probably don't have to worry just about cheating websites, it can happen anywhere, the point is, don't go snooping around. The less you know, the less likely you are to get into trouble when you find out that he is being faithful and honest.
