Have you ever wondered why some spouses betray their partners when the partners has a medical condition? It’s a disturbing trend that deserves attention.
While official statistics may be lacking, there is evidence to suggest that certain medical conditions, such as pregnancy or chronic health problems, can lead to infidelity. Some individuals use their partner’s illness or pregnancy as an excuse to indulge in affairs.
This behavior raises important questions about how to handle such situations. How should you respond when your spouse has an affair and blames it on their partner’s medical condition? The answer will vary depending on the specific circumstances.
Unfortunately, instead of providing support and remaining loyal, some spouses choose to indulge their own desires. Perhaps you have even given them a pass to explore outside of the relationship. This well-intentioned gesture may inadvertently give them permission to cheat.
On the other hand, if you were to express that you expect them to do the right thing, the outcome could be different. Holding them accountable for their actions can set a new standard for fidelity.
Affairs linked to medical conditions occur more frequently than we’d like to admit. Common sense tells us to stay committed to our spouse, but sometimes other voices whisper in our ears. The pursuit of personal happiness can suddenly take precedence over your needs.
These types of affairs can be as hurtful as taking advantage of someone who is handicapped. Those who engage in such behavior place their own desires ahead of their commitment to their partner. Chronic condition-induced affairs often last for extended periods of time.
Pregnancy is another circumstance that may lead to cheating. Both men and women can experience emotional turmoil during this time, seeking solace and understanding outside of the relationship.
As someone who recently witnessed the harsh reality of a husband cheating on his pregnant wife, I have little tolerance for this behavior. Moodiness or feelings of being misunderstood are feeble excuses for infidelity.
These situations hit close to home for me, as I’ve witnessed them before. I had hoped that men would become more empathetic to their pregnant wives’ needs.
The refrain “but I have needs” is often heard in these situations. We understand that everyone has needs. However, when faced with a medical condition, sacrifices become necessary to navigate the challenges that arise.
If you choose to engage in an affair due to your partner’s condition, you are prioritizing your needs over theirs. This is a betrayal of your marriage vows and is, in my opinion, unforgivable.
There are no easy solutions when faced with these difficult circumstances. You can either remain committed to your vows and weather the storm or choose a different path.
Remember, these affairs are detrimental to marriages and erode the foundation of trust. They leave deep scars on the soul. That’s where the Affair Recovery Workshop video program comes in. This program provides guidance for repairing and rebuilding your relationship after the trauma of infidelity.
It’s time to face the reality of the connection between medical conditions and affairs. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
Keeping It Real,
