ii). Affairs are built on secrecy, fantasy and deception
iii). Affairs exist as an escape from mundane daily life, free from shared chores, financial stress or parenting

v). Destroying an original relationship causes devastation, emotional and financial
vi). Many affairs are initially built on venting about mutual unhappiness, not long-term compatibility

viii). Divorce involves major life disruptions, including financial division, custody battles and the loss of shared social networks or extended family

ix). Often, a spouse fulfils 80% of a person’s needs and the affair partner simply meets the remaining 20% (like passion or validation)
x). cheats are often unwilling to destroy their primary
relationship just to chase the 20% missing fraction of their needs/
