With the continuous development of society and the acceleration of people's pace of life, extramarital relationships have gradually become a common phenomenon. Among them, middle-aged men are often the main players. And about the reasons why middle-aged men develop extramarital relationships, there is a well-known saying: "Nine times out of ten it starts with two words". The two words referred to in this sentence are often "lonely". Next, we will delve into the reasons and phenomena behind middle-aged men developing extramarital relationships.
1. The psychological needs of middle-aged men
Middle-aged men often have achieved certain achievements in their careers and have relatively stable family lives, but with them comes a sense of inner emptiness and loneliness. The long-term pressure of work and family responsibilities makes them crave a sense of novelty and excitement, and they seek spiritual satisfaction and solace in extramarital relationships. This psychological need often drives middle-aged men to seek external solace when they are lonely, leading them to seek extramarital relationships.
2. The fatigue of the marital relationship
With the long-term relationship of marriage, the passion between husband and wife gradually fades and is replaced by affection and responsibility. Middle-aged men have a relatively fixed place in the family, and they crave attention and the feeling of being needed. When there is fatigue and poor communication in the marital relationship, middle-aged men often seek to find back the feeling of being valued and cared for in the extramarital relationship, so as to meet their emotional needs.
3. The influence of social circles
Middle-aged men tend to meet all kinds of people at work and in their social circles, including friends of the opposite sex. During social activities, they may develop a special emotional connection with the opposite sex, gradually slipping to the edge of an extramarital relationship. The influence of social circles makes it easier for middle-aged men to be exposed to various temptations and opportunities, leading them to look for excuses for extramarital relationships when they are lonely.
To sum up, the reasons for middle-aged men to develop extramarital relationships are complex and varied, but the saying that "nine times out of ten start with two words" speaks to one of the core problems - loneliness. Loneliness is not only an emotional need, but also a sense of spiritual emptiness that drives middle-aged men to choose extramarital relationships when looking for emotional fulfillment. Therefore, it is crucial for middle-aged men to value family relationships, maintain communication, and find the right emotional outlet to avoid falling into the vortex of extramarital relationships.
