It is clear that for adultery a reason is needed. Some citizens cheat without a reason.
But psychologists are interested in another case: can marital infidelity be associated with a midlife crisis?
According to clinical psychologist Margarita Alekseeva, such a connection exists, Vechernyaya Moskva reports.
The psychologist does not consider age crisis to be a negative phenomenon, but rather views it as a stage of personal development, rethinking of values, setting priorities and assessing personal achievements.
Age crisis
At 20, people are trying to find their place, profession, and are just entering into relationships.
At 30, many people achieve some success in their careers and personal lives, and it is at this point that the “midlife crisis” occurs.
Doubts about the chosen path appear, the person feels dissatisfaction with life, and wants change.
As a result - job change, relationship breakup, new hobbies and betrayal.
The age of 40 is associated with stability in career and family relationships, but crises are also possible.
It all starts with a kind of summing up and analysis of achievements, mistakes, and the search for meaning.
But at this stage, women who lack the attention of their partner are more prone to cheating; they feel unattractive and unclaimed.
Conclusion
Cheating is not so much connected with round dates, but with incorrectly built relationships with a partner.
And if it seems that “the relationship is falling apart”, it is better to turn to a specialist who will help you find a way out.
