Men and women view affairs differently. Men are often more threatened by the sexual aspect of their wives’s affairs, while wives are more often threatened by the emotional aspects of the affair. The threat aspect is often very real. In the past week, I have seen several articles on “Is your husband’s avatar faithful?” On the surface, this may seem like a silly issue, although the reality, which the wives understand is that the avatar represents the emotional bonds and emotional attachments their husbands have. An unfaithful avatar is definitely a threat to the emotional security of the marriage, even though in real life, he has not slept with anyone. There are many threats that pose event greater dangers than an unfaithful avatar. The threat is often not so much the avatar’s actions, but rather the spouse’s attitude and emotional attachments. If the avatar is part of a game and there are no attachments, then wives often see no threat with what is going on. When they sense that their husband’s heart has shifted, then they sound the threat alarm.
In another tragic news item, a husband (Michel Veillette) who felt threatened by his wifes accusations of infidelity took action into his own hands. The emotional out bust resulted in the death of her and their four children and the home being burned. He later admitted to the police he was having an affair. Affairs are a serious matter. It is not just ‘harmless’ fun. The stakes are high and life-threatening. Even in the situations where physical deaths do not occur, there is often either a spiritual or emotional death of those involved.
