Importance Of Adultery

1728 Words7 Pages

Adultery is when one person has sexual relations or intimacy with persons other than their spouse or current partner, also known as cheating.

She even walks towards the window of the building, wanting to escape. She experiences pain right away and is unsure with how to cope with it. When a person goes through such a traumatic experience, their mental health may be affected. According to Dolan, cheating can affect an individual’s mental health, as they “experienced greater depression, anxiety and distress after being cheated on” (Dolan, 2017).
