The reasons for married couples having an affair are varied and difficult to pin down. Even if the marriage is happy, either the husband or wife could find him or herself tempted to be with someone more attractive out of pleasure and break from daily routine of seeing each other.

Below are the most common signs of having an affair. They may seem normal but on closer glance, you will see they are not.

Frequent Contact With Members Of Opposite Sex

Temptation can be everywhere.

Workplace, parties or special events where there are a lot of people of opposite sex.

As couples spend more time with others than with each other, giving into a temptation becomes stronger and easier.

Whether the other party is a friend, colleague or even a boss, it does not really matter. Rather what really matters is that they have treated each other more than just friends through caring and sharing.

With the availability of mobile, iphones and ipads, keeping in touch with their love
without letting their spouse know is so much simpler.

Not Meeting Each Other's Emotional Needs

This is the biggest sign of having an affair.

When husband are struggling to meet each other's emotional needs, they look to someone else. Preferably someone who appreciates the way they are.

The same goes for couple taking each for granted.

Being Away From Each Other Frequently

Being away from each other due to work commitments and frequent travel can also develop extramartial affairs.

The husband can be with another woman in another part of the world while the wife can also do the same out of loneliness.

Most of the people belonging to this category are sports celebrities, movie stars, singers and behind the scenes staff in entertainment industry.

If they do not make a plan and effort to spend quality with each other, they will most probably divorce not long after marriage.

Keep Comparing Spouse To A Close Friend Of Opposite Sex

If the third party is a close friend of opposite sex and the wife or husband keeps comparing in terms of strengths and weaknesses, this could be a sign of them having an affair since they knew each other well.

Intimacy

This is very obvious as in touching, heavily patting, hugging and kissing. More often than not, those signs can be seen when the spouse took photos with a third party whom he or she has an affair.
