The psychological changes and actions of men in different stages of an extramarital affair:
First, the ambiguous stage:
Men enjoy unclear relationships with the opposite sex, such as giving gifts and flirting.
As they become closer, they start imagining physical contact with the other person.
Second, just after straying:
If the wife doesn’t find out, the two will find suitable opportunities to stray.
But after straying, men feel guilty about their families.
Yet, they are greedy and reluctant to break up with the other woman.
Third, the infatuation stage:
At this stage, men are blinded by the extramarital affair and disregard their families.
They feel that the other woman is their true love and only feel a sense of responsibility towards their wives.
They may even pressure their wives to divorce for the other woman’s sake.
Fourth, the hesitating stage:
After the infatuation with the other woman fades, they start reflecting on the relationship.
If the other woman pressures them to divorce while their wife remains steadfast and does what she should, the man can’t bear the other woman and will end the affair.
Of course, the wife shouldn’t just sit idle; the man will come back on his own.
If the man sees his wife doing nothing, he will find a way to deal with the other woman and continue the extramarital affair.
Fifth, the calm stage:
Extramarital affairs can end in three ways: the wife handles it well and the man returns.
After returning, the man will feel guilty about the other woman and won’t be able to face his family.
Or they get divorced, and the wife finds that the emotions of both parties have come to an end after doing everything she could.
Or the wife compromises, and the man has both the other woman and the wife.
