An affair relationship commences with plenty of passion and excitement.
That experience of something “new” makes you come to the realisation of what life’s bliss you have been missing. Affair mates quickly rush to tell each other of how their marriage/ relationship came to its deathbed the day came into each other lives.
However, it’s only a matter of time, usually not too long before frustrations and disappointments creep in, therefore giving credence to the common notion that “all affair relationships don’t work out” which has not really been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Below are ways to keep it together with your affair partner in face of the certain adversities that will come:
Build trust
The biggest fear in an affair relationship is that a partner might go back to their previous relationship or move on some else they perceive better than their current. Therefore giving every form of assurance of loyalty to your partner will only serve to make the relationship last longer. “Once a cheater, always a cheater” situation doesn’t have to true to you.
Uphold respect
Speaking ill of and disrespecting your ex constantly will only create the impression on your partner that you will portray the same type of character when the relationship becomes rocky. Feelings of anger and hatred are common when a relationships hit a dead end because of an affair, but it’s important to keep your cool at all times. Especially when there are kids involved. Also, respect your partner at all times.
Observe healthy boundaries
That constant unnecessary contact and chats with your ex will only work for the peril of your new relationship. Do not contact your ex unless it’s very necessary. Just don't.
