Here is my thought for the weekend: Extramarital Sex is Bad for your Health.
For one, most of us non-sociopaths would feel guilt, and guilt wears down the immune system as well as other biological systems in the body.
Secondly, hiding things puts us in a constant state of stress. The fear of getting caught is actually an intense fear—the same fear we may have had as a kid when we knew we would be severely disciplined if we got caught. This creates a high state of cortisol that leads to a myriad of possible health problems.
Thirdly, once you get caught (and you will if you continue the behavior), the humiliation, guilt, pain and anxiety do more damage.
The sooner this behavior is stopped, the better. If you or anyone you know is doing this behavior, confront that person (or yourself) and know that there is help on the way that could get that person out of the constant state of stress.
It’s a no win situation. I know someone who has a lot of experience in these types of matters. Yes of course— that would be me. Believe it or not, I have about a 90% success rate in helping couples thrive after infidelity is discovered.
So, be a friend; confront that person and invite that person to get out of that quagmire called infidelity.
