Just one extramarital affair is enough to take away the good relationship, happiness, and sense of identity between a couple or a couple. For such a common behavior, people's understanding of it is very superficial. How should we understand this taboo behavior that has a long history and is generally avoided but practiced by people? Why do people cheat? Why do even seemingly happy marriages fail? Why does extramarital affairs hurt so much? Whenever we say the word "cheating," what exactly are we talking about? Is there such a thing as a marriage that is absolutely free of extramarital affairs? Can we fall in love with several people at the same time? Can extramarital affairs be beneficial to a marriage? Could having romantic expectations for marriage actually lead us to betray our partners?

Reader comments
I think it is a bit similar to "Fortress Besieged", both of which make us think more deeply about marriage. Moreover, I especially like the author's idea that "extramarital affairs may also be beneficial to marriage", which is very novel. However, I hate characters who are unfaithful in their marriages, they cause too much damage to their partners. Overall, this is a book worth reading and will bring you a lot of inspiration.
This book is very attractive. I have only read a little bit and want to continue reading.
This book is particularly worth reading. No matter what form of marriage it is, everyone's choice in the end is worth learning from.
A very good book that gives me more understanding and thinking about marriage, love, sex, and emotions.
