We have all tried to make the one we love jealous at one point in time. Perhaps we have flirted with people to get the attention of our significant other. Or maybe we have engaged in jealousy by omission, deliberately becoming evasive in order to rouse the suspicion of the person we love. Regardless of the behavior we choose when trying to make someone jealous, the actions almost always cause hurt. In a recent article, Maryanne Fisher, Ph.D. and associate professor of psychology at Saint Mary’s University in Canada, asks, “Why are you purposely hurting someone you love?” People search …(See More)

In a recent article, Dr. Susan Heitler, clinical psychologist and author, and Peggy Vaughan, a specialist in affair recovery, give important guidance on how to pick up the pieces of your relationship after infidelity. After the initial shock and hurt, the next step should be one that moves your relationship forward. Heitler says, “The good news is that full recovery after even long-standing or multiple affairs is possible.” Vaughan reminds us that recovery itself can be difficult. “Even when couples do ‘everything right,’ the journey is seldom smooth.” She adds, “It’s likely instead to be a very jagged path with two steps …(See More)

Forgiving a romantic partner is not always easy. Some transgressions are easy to forgive, and other, more serious and hurtful experiences can be difficult to move past. For couples who already have problems with commitment within their relationships, forgiveness may be an even greater challenge. “To date, considerable research suggests that individuals who feel their relationship is characterized by high levels of commitment are more likely to grant forgiveness than those who feel less committed to their relationship,” said Renate Ysseldyk of the University of Exeter and Carleton University, and lead author of a recent study that examined how forgiveness …(See More)

According to Omri Gillath, a professor of social psychology at the University of Kansas, men feel the urge to mate when they are confronted with a threatening situation. In light of the country’s current economic condition, Gillath says that more men may feel that the only way to ensure their survival is to procreate, or at least try. “We’re biologically wired to reproduce, and the environment tells us that is the best strategy to use to make sure our genes are passed on,” said Gillath in a recent article. “If you think you might die soon, there’s a huge advantage …(See More)

In a recent article, Robert-Jay Green, professor of psychology at Alliant International University in San Francisco, revealed findings from a new study that indicate more couples are staying faithful than in past decades. “There’s dramatically less extra-relational sexual behavior in the year 2000 than in the year 1975 for all couple types,” he said. The study questioned the fidelity of over 6,800 men and women and experts found that couples are more faithful today. “Our findings reveal a marked movement toward monogamy over time,” said the researchers. In fact, heterosexual men reported a decline in infidelity from 28% to 10% …(See More)

Even the best relationships are vulnerable to affairs. In a recent article, licensed psychologist and author Guy Winch, describes the two elements that contribute most to infidelity and how to prevent an affair in your relationship. He says that everyone is capable of an affair if circumstance is ripe and opportunity presents itself. Relationships are fluid and ebb and tide according to the events occurring in our lives and couples often find themselves distant from each other. “When couples are in period of greater emotional distance, when their couplehood is at ‘low tide,’ their relationship becomes vulnerable to an affair,” …(See More)

Dan Savage, a leading sexual-advice columnist, explains how monogamy alone may not be the key to a successful marriage. In a recent article, Savage says that monogamy is not always the realistic choice for modern couples. He urges all couples to be honest about their sexual fantasies and desires, even if that includes having sex with people outside of the marriage. Savage says that non-monogamy, if agreed to by both partners, can work. Savage says that he and his own husband have both decided that their marriage would allow for non-monogamy and they accept that the other may look outside …(See More)

In a recent article, Mark D. White, Ph.D., discusses infidelity and ways to combat it. He asks, “If a person sincerely believes that adultery is wrong but nonetheless feels a very real temptation to cheat, what can he or she do to lessen the chances of crossing that line? There are many lessons which we can borrow from the literature on self-control, weakness of will, and procrastination that may help the perpetually tempted yet well-intentioned person stay faithful to his or her partner.” Most people faced with the overwhelming temptation of adultery do not believe that putting extra effort into …(See More)

A new study reveals that sexual anxiety increases a person’s likelihood to cheat on his or her partner. Researchers report that a history of poor sexual performance or anxiety may actually cause someone to look outside of a relationship for sexual interactions that could increase their confidence. “People who score high on this [trait] may feel less pressure when they’re engaging with a person who doesn’t know their sexual history,” says Kristen Mark, a doctoral candidate at Indiana University and researcher on the study. Statistics show that nearly twenty percent of men and women in committed relationships stray, and do …(See More)
