Who here thinks that extra marital affairs are bad? Actually what is your opinion about it? Is it good? Bad? Why do they even exist?

i think extramarital affairs is just a cop out for someone who is not happy with something in their current relationship, but don't have the guts to talk with their partner so they go out and find what's missing in someone else because there are more things they love about their partner than they don't or maybe it's just convenient to stay with that person (kids, money, house, etc.) than to leave and start all over with the possibility of them not liking the new partner. So they just decide to have their cake and eat it too. Yes extramarital affairs are bad and i know i always tell my man, 'if you want something else, just let me know i won't hurt you if you leave me.' it's just a matter of having a certain level of respect for your partner to be able to tell them the truth about your unhappiness, it might just be they need space for a while, not necessarily to sever ties for good.

I agree and well put! An affair always starts with a problem at home first unless you married a liar from the beginning. People always forget Communication in their relationships and a lack of it always leads to trouble somewhere else in the relationship.

your response is very good but if your man tells you he needs space for a while and tries it out with another person, discovers he was better off at home and tries to come back, do you take him back? could you let him back into your life after all that and if so how could you trust it wont happen again. I do think that an awful lot could be avoided if couples learned to be more open when it comes to their feelings about each other and their lives together. A lot of the time the affair is because of involving a third party and because its felt that this third person understands and wants to be there for support it blooms into something else. put faith in your partner to do the same and it might never end up in an affair.

Of course they r bad, who wants their partner to have an affair after marrying them. If THE PARTNER HAS SOME SORTS OF PROBS, BETTER SORT IT OUT WITH EACH OTHER THAN GO TO SOME 1 ELSE WITH THEIR PROBLEMS UNLESS THEY CANT LOVE EACH OTHER ANY MORE, THAT WUD SURELY need to be sorted out without each other

well i think that extramarital affairs may arise to a variety of reasons....like a man/woman liking some other better or being seduced by some one.... what ever way it may be i whole heartedly oppose these kind of relationships....dont ask me why but i feel that they are bad and sinful to do...

you can gauge this the pros and cons allied with any kind of jurisprudence that exists, in the respective places, where, a sense of shame, is primary for a civilization exists.Hence, these kinds of things either existence or non existence does matter where, the sense of morality, spirituality, justice counts.
