Some people can be married, and hold extra marital affairs for long periods of time. How do people do that?
<|assistant|>
It is difficult to understand why someone would choose to enter into a long-term married relationship while having extra marital affairs, but it does happen. One theory is that some people are capable of having emotional connections with multiple people and may not feel a sense of guilt for keeping two relationships going at the same time. Additionally, some people enter into long-term affairs out of a lack of confidence in their own relationship. In either case, it is typically an immensely painful situation for all involved and couples struggling with this dynamic would benefit from counselling and open communication.
