Now, there's one thing that's been bothering me lately coz it involves people close to me and seem very unlikely to be tested by IT. what is it that im talking about today. What is it thats going so rampant today that when we see it or when it happens amongst us, we just close one eye or just simply be oblivious about it? CURANG. Come on people, say it again, CURANG.
Curang can be defined as act of unfaithfulness, normally to a spouse. Honestly, this act of unfaithfulness warrant no forgiveness at all coz its unthinkable. I mean, how can you cheat on your partner or worse your spouse? Where has your conscience gone and what were you thinking? Haiya, dont get me started with all my nonsensical questions but why, how, kenapa some of you resorted to this unacceptable act?
I have a friend who's been married for 8 years and have 4 kids. He is a good husband and often regarded as an example of an ideal husband to his close frens even to myself. A very faithful husband to his wife, a loving father to his children and a good fren to us. I always believe that he is the one most unlikely to stray to the wrong path , until most recently, when my he confided in me that he is in love with another lady who is also already married. It all started with a friendly hello via facebook and next, they talk to each other everyday ever since. At first I thought that what he is having is just a mere infatuation and it will pass eventually but hey... i am wrong. It seems that the feelings he has for her are getting stronger and deeper by each day. And today, seeing him torn or shall i say drowned in his own madness, i cant help but wonder, is it normal for married couple to have feelings as deep as love for someone else other than his/her spouse, and what are the cause for this curang things to take place.
I surfed around for some info and stumbled upon an article on causes of infidelity/curang. Basically there are 7 common causes of infidelity, as follows:-
1. They feel pressured to keep up with their friends, meaning, almost everyone in their circle of friends are doing it, so they feel obliged to jump into the bandwagon. Remember, peer pressure is a strong thing, no matter how old you are.
2. Your partner is angry at you. Maybe they have something against you which you are not aware of. Maybe they are resentful of you doing something which they didnt like or they are unhappy with their life. Either way, they are taking it out on you by having an affair with someone else.
3. They are simply attracted to someone else and they want to act on it, be it sexually or non sexual. They think that you would never know and what you dont know will not hurt you? Right? (this no. 3 really scares me)
4. They feel trapped in a relationship/marriage and they want out but they couldnt do so for some reasons. Many people in a relationship/marriage will decide, at some point, they that are not happy but they dont want to leave or couldnt leave. They choose the solution that hurts the most in the long run and then try to have the best of both worlds.
5. They simply just want to fall in love again, experience the thrill and sensational feelings of falling in love. Maybe they watch too many romantic movies or read too many books. For some people, the feeling of romance and the rush of a new love can be very addictive feelings. They want to re-live and re-capture that feeling so they turn to someone else.
6. They dont feel desireable by you. They will reach out to someone else to make them feel that way. They think that you only desire them because you are their partner therefore you feel obliged to desire them. But lets say if a stranger wants them? It will surely boost their ego and make them feel good of themselves.
7. Your partner cant connect with you emotionally. They cannot open up and confide anything in you. Theres no emotional bond between you and them. If your partner is afraid of intimacy, they might try to push you away by having sex with someone else. Its their way of putting an emotional wall between the two of you.
Well, there you go, 7 common causes of infidelity. For those of you whose partner are cheating on you, i hope the above can be of any help. Once you know the cause, then the next course of action is of course, trying saving the relationship.
For the rest of us who are not troubled by unfaithful partner, maybe the 7 causes will serve as a reminder to us not to take our partner for granted or else they will easily go to someone else.
