Affairs wreak damage on relationships. They can also lead to damage of careers, jobs and reputations. One area often damaged by affairs, but not frequently discussed is health. The most obvious health related concern is communicable diseases. Since some of these are potentially life threatening, it is a concern. The risk taking involved in participating in the affair spills over into taking unwise risks concerning exposure to diseases. The adulterers forget the old adage that if it is easy to get them in bed, you are probably not the first to do so.
Other health concerns include, high blood pressure, lack of sleep, with all the disorders that go with that, headaches, irritable bowel, and heart palpitations. These health problems are not limited to the adulterer. Many of these health concerns develop with the spouse of the adulterer. Having the affair may provide some boost to the ego and a few minutes of pleasure, but is it worth all the potential health related problems that often go with it? Is it worth the worry and stress that are part of the price tag? Those few minutes of pleasure are very expensive in term of what it costs regarding peace of mind and trust.
