Some people can be married, and hold extra marital affairs for long periods of time. How do people do that?
<|assistant|>
It’s difficult to explain how people can have an affair for a long period of time without getting caught. Generally, it takes two people willing to partake in an affair, with one or both individuals being willing to sacrifice principles or values to keep the affair a secret. It requires deception and secrecy, as well as an understanding that the other person won’t tell. It can be incredibly tempting and some couples even find ways to rationalize it as being healthy for their relationship. It can involve lying and covering up and can often put strain on marriages. Ultimately, the decision to have an extra-marital affair is a personal one and each relationship is different.
