It’s not something we want to have to face, talk about, or even consider. But the truth is, even in the happiest marriages, affairs can happen. Maybe it’s a close relationship with a coworker that goes too far during a long night at the office. Or an unexpected dalliance on a vacation with friends. Or maybe, it’s a longer-running situation, with one or both parties turning to each other to fill a physical or emotional void left unfilled by their spouses.
