In an interview with

, relationship
therapist
and couple coach Eric Hegmann reveals a surprising number: "If there is a lack of affectionate interaction and there is little time for one another, surveys show that almost every third woman lets herself be carried away on a sexual adventure." But what does that bring Women to be unfaithful to their partner?
Are there certain patterns?
Reasons for an affair: Lack of attention and appreciation
According to the expert, the most common reason for women to start an affair is a feeling of lack of care and attention on the part of their partner.
If they do not feel valued enough or feel a certain lack of interest in the relationship, it happens that they "seek confirmation and closeness in another person," says Hegmann.
Mixed with the desire for sexual confirmation, the lack of appreciation and caring can turn into a dangerous combination.
The relationship advisor knows someone who “keeps planning affairs”.
Affairs: seeking sexual adventure
The desire for sexual confirmation also points to another possible trigger for thinking about an affair: The woman cannot live out her sexual desires and inclinations in the partnership and seeks adventure elsewhere.
Instead of looking around immediately for other men and their confirmation, however, the couples expert Hegmann has one piece of advice: “Live out your sexual fantasies together.
That means that you talk about them. "
A partnership that relies on the tried and tested as well as the new and creates a sense of togetherness can grow and develop trust.
According to Hegmann, you don't need a new partner to experience something new, just “new ideas”.
