Why Do People Stray In Long Term Relationships?

August 8th, 2010 by admin

It is a sad state of affairs when statistics tell us that more than 50 percent of all marriages end up in divorce, agreed that some are rushed into and based on rash decisions but some are not, some tried to make it last years, those are the ones I call PLR or Pity Led Relationships, right now you’re probably wondering what on earth I mean but all will make sense.

I had no idea and most people don’t until they catch their partner out or they make a mistake or the other person turns up one day to tell you the whole sordid story. Such a shame to throw it all away!

Some relationships can start off being built on out of pity, you might feel sorry for someone who then becomes really attached to you, you may feel no one else likes you or ever will so why not stay with one another.

But now your relationship isn’t built on things like trust or sexual preferences, it isn’t built on adoration and love for one another. You may grow to love each other in time but in the true sense of the word as in you would lay your life down for that person. The closeness will eventually fizzle out.

Your partner may be at work all day and night messing around with their plug and play profit system just to avoid coming home to someone who they have nothing to talk to about and nothing in common, it’s not even as if you can just cuddle up because the romance has died too.

This may sound sad but it is ever so common now a days and this is usually when people go off and have affairs. Rather than ending the relationship they see it as a safety net, a bit like when you live at home with your mom and dad, you know there is someone that will take you back in and a place to sleep at night even if it is the sofa.

So even though your big love is your investment in stocks remember that there will be someone else out there willing to hear your stories about your day at work and won’t roll their eyes at you. Make sure that you’re compatible and never rush a relationship, after all its better than to love then to break someone’s heart.
