Take the Affair Quiz – Affair Proof Marriage

Affairs happen in unhappy, unloving, sexless marriages.

True
False

False: Affairs can and do happen in good marriages. Affairs can be more about cloudy boundaries and/or people slipping over boundaries than love. Social Media like FB, Text, SnapChat...just to name a few, cloud or confuse the boundary warning signs and many people slip over into behavior they would not engage in real life face to face situations. The anonymity and distance through the internet can encourage a person to risk more or ignore warning signs.

Affairs are always sexual in nature involving physical and sexual attraction.

True
False

False: In truth, affairs can be emotional only with no sexual or physical contact. The attraction and lure of an affair can be how the person feels being wanted and loved in the adoring eyes and words of the new love. Another attraction can be the opportunity to break out of the routine of the current marriage/relationship and experience new roles, opportunities and self-growth in the new affair relationship.

Cheating spouses/partners almost never leave clues that they are having an affair.

True
False

True: Truth is many times the affair(s) are never detected – even by the most diligent of spouses/partners. They are not being naïve or hiding their heads in the sand. Often the person having the affair has learned how to compartmentalize their lives, so their two worlds exist side by side with few clues showing. Others are just fantastic liars and do well keeping their lies vs. person vs. truth well organized. In fact, current statistics find that 70% of women and 54% of men did not know their spouses/partners were having an affair.

A person having an affair will show less interest in sex or intimacy at home.

True
False

False: It may surprise you to know that the excitement of the secrecy, the attentions of the affair partner and the new levels of sex/romance can increase their interest in stirring up some passion at home with their spouse/partner. In fact, the first clue a spouse/partner may have that their spouse/partner is having an affair is by them suddenly suggesting new sexual acts or positions or initiating sex more than they usually do.

The person having the affair isn’t “giving enough” at home.

True
False

True: The person having the affair tends to have distanced themselves physically and/or emotionally and so are not invested in their marriage/relationship. This makes it easier to slip over the boundary and engage in an affair or affair like behavior. So, the spouse that “gives too little” is at a much greater affair risk than the spouse that “gives too much” …as they are the ones heavily invested in the relationship.

Most affairs are 1-night stands.

True
False

False: Roughly only 10% of affairs are 1-night stands. 50% of all affairs last over 1 month and less than 1 year. That’s quite a bit of energy and time being taken away from a marriage and relationship. Here’s the full breakdown on affair life cycle time spans: 10% are 1-night affairs, 10% are 1 day to less than 1 month, 50% are over 1 month and less than 1 year, 30% are over 2 years. Very few affairs are still active after 4 years.

Affairs are always sexual.

True
False

False: Affairs typically start out with a breach in boundaries through an emotionally intimate connection. Often starting out innocently” liking” FB pages, texting conversations and sharing pics or lingering at a coworkers desk, that then builds to sharing increasingly more intimate details of their daily lives, relationships, needs or wants, disappointments. It is through the emotional connections that the affair moves into a physical affair. Bottom line - an affair is any emotional or physical intimacy that violates the trust of their spouse/partner.
