Dann kommt es irgendwann zum Betrug und zu einer Aff\u00e4re.<\/p>\n<p>Auch wenn <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aff%C3%A4re#:~:text=Die%20Wortbedeutung%20war%20zun%C3%A4chst%20nur,Politik%20und%2Foder%20Wirtschaft%20gebraucht.\">jede Aff\u00e4re<\/a> unterschiedlich ist: Die meisten Aff\u00e4ren folgen doch einem \u00e4hnlichen Muster und spezifischen Phasen des Fremdgehens. Vom (meist) unschuldigen Kennenlernen \u00fcber die (fast immer) Fahrt aufnehmende Faszination \u00fcber die (in der Regel) ausgekl\u00fcgelte Geheimhaltungs-Logistik bis zum (oft) dramatischen Auffliegen der Au\u00dfenbeziehung.<\/p>\n<p>In der Regel sind in einer solchen Situation alle Betroffenen im emotionalen Ausnahmezustand und haben viele offene Fragen: \u201eWie geht es jetzt weiter?!\u201c, \u201eWie lange kann ich das noch aushalten?\u201c, \u201eIn was f\u00fcr eine krassen Phase stecken wir da.\u201c .\u201c eigentlich gerade?\u201c, \u201eK\u00f6nnen wir aus dieser verr\u00fcckten Achterbahnfahrt \u00fcberhaupt noch einigerma\u00dfen heil herauskommen?\u201c usw. usw. Frauen entwickeln in solchen Situationen oft tiefere Gef\u00fchle und stehen vor inneren Konflikten und Herausforderungen in ihren bestehenden Beziehungen.<\/p>\n<p>In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten konnten wir in unserer paartherapeutischen Praxis bereits hunderte von Menschen in Dreieckskonstellationen begleiten: Betr\u00fcgende, Betrogene, \u201eDritte im Bunde\u201c, Angeh\u00f6rige\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Um etwas mehr Klarheit ins innere Chaos zu bringen, haben wir im vorliegenden Artikel den \u2018klassischen\u2019 Verlauf einer Aff\u00e4re in \u201e7 typische Phasen einer Aff\u00e4re\u201c unterteilt. Nat\u00fcrlich k\u00f6nnen Abl\u00e4ufe und Entwicklung eines Dreiecksverh\u00e4ltnisses im Einzelfall stark voneinander abweichen. Einzelne Phasen k\u00f6nnen abgek\u00fcrzt, \u00fcbersprungen oder hinzugef\u00fcgt werden. Bei vielen Paaren steht das Thema Sexualit\u00e4t und erotische Anziehung im Vordergrund, bei anderen kommt es nicht zum <em>k\u00f6rperlichen<\/em> Betrug, sondern es entwickelt sich eine heftige <em>emotionale<\/em> Aff\u00e4re zu einem Au\u00dfenpartner. Oftmals unterscheidet man hierbei dann zwischen einer emotionalen Aff\u00e4re oder einer sexuellen Aff\u00e4re.<\/p>\n<p>Gleichwohl skizzieren diese \u201e7 Phasen einer Aff\u00e4re\u201c eine Vielzahl der Konstellationen, die uns im Laufe der Jahre zunehmend begegnet sind: Die Phasen einer <em>emotionalen<\/em> Aff\u00e4re, die Phasen einer \u00fcberwiegend <em>sexuellen<\/em> Aff\u00e4re und \u2013 am h\u00e4ufigsten \u2013 die Phasen einer <em>sowohl erotischen als auch emotional aufw\u00fchlenden<\/em> Aff\u00e4re.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sie sind sich unsicher, ob Ihr Partner Ihnen fremdgeht?<\/strong> In unserem Artikel <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/en\/typisches-verhalten-nach-fremdgehen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Typisches Verhalten nach dem Fremdgehen&#8221;<\/a> k\u00f6nnen Sie nachlesen, wie sich eine Aff\u00e4re bei Ihrem Partner \u00e4u\u00dfern kann.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1737411618484\">Was ist eine Aff\u00e4re?<\/h2>\n<p>Eine Aff\u00e4re ist eine Beziehung, die au\u00dferhalb einer bestehenden Beziehung oder Ehe stattfindet. Sie kann sowohl sexuelle als auch emotionale Aspekte umfassen und wird oft geheim gehalten. Aff\u00e4ren k\u00f6nnen in verschiedenen Formen auftreten: von der rein sexuellen Aff\u00e4re \u00fcber die emotionale Liebesaff\u00e4re bis hin zur komplexen Zweitbeziehung. In vielen F\u00e4llen beginnt eine Aff\u00e4re harmlos, entwickelt sich jedoch im Laufe der Zeit zu einer intensiven Verbindung, die die bestehende Partnerschaft stark belasten kann. Die Geheimhaltung und die damit verbundene Spannung verleihen der Aff\u00e4re oft einen besonderen Reiz, was sie f\u00fcr die Beteiligten noch verlockender macht.<\/p>\n<p>Verliebt trotz Beziehung?

Zwei Menschen finden sich gegenseitig sympathisch und kommen ins Gespr\u00e4ch.<\/p>\n<p>Ohne sich zun\u00e4chst viel dabei zu denken, stellen sie fest, dass sie sich ziemlich gut verstehen. Beide genie\u00dfen die Gegenwart des anderen, oftmals ohne bewusst zu flirten. Diese Phase kann (insbesondere bei einer Freundschaft) Jahre anhalten &#8211; in anderen F\u00e4llen aber auch \u00fcbersprungen werden oder schon nach kurzer Zeit in Phase 2 \u00fcbergehen.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1737411618486\"><strong>Phase 2: Der Funken<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 483;\" title=\"Warum Frauen fremdgehen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fremdgehen-Frauen-Warum.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration wie Frau ihrem Mann fremd geht und sich neu verliebt\" width=\"812\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"48858\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"483\" data-width=\"812\" data-height=\"461\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Mindestens einer von beiden merkt, dass da mehr ist als nur Sympathie. Begegnungen mit genau diesem Menschen werden n\u00e4mlich deutlich mehr &#8216;genossen&#8217; als mit anderen. Das Flirten ist wom\u00f6glich noch sehr subtil: Ein etwas l\u00e4nger gehaltener Blickkontakt, eine &#8220;versehentliche&#8221; Ber\u00fchrung im Vorbeigehen oder ein spielerisches Necken.<\/p>\n<p>Irgendwann stellen beide fest, dass nach einer pers\u00f6nlichen Begegnung die Gedanken noch l\u00e4nger um den anderen kreisen. Diese Gedanken sind wom\u00f6glich nicht sonderlich konkret. Doch es regt sich etwas in den Betroffenen. Sie freuen sich immer mehr auf den n\u00e4chsten (wenn auch vorerst vielleicht nur fl\u00fcchtigen) Kontakt.<\/p>\n<p>An diesem Punkt k\u00f6nnen sich bei demjenigen, der in einer festen Beziehung ist, bereits erste Schuldgef\u00fchle bemerkbar machen. Und doch kann er wenig gegen diesen kleinen &#8220;Funkenflug&#8221; tun.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1737411618487\"><strong>Phase 3: Die Ann\u00e4herung<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 483;\" title=\"Fremdgehen in Beziehung erkennen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fremdgehen-erkennen-Abenteuer-Flirts.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration Teufel der Abenteuer einer Affaere darstellt\" width=\"812\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"48955\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"483\" data-width=\"812\" data-height=\"461\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Der eigenen Partnerschaft und den ersten Schuldgef\u00fchlen zum Trotz n\u00e4hert man sich der anderen Person immer mehr an. Meist geschieht das am Anfang so subtil, dass man es vor sich selbst und anderen noch als &#8220;Ich habe halt Spa\u00df mit meinen Kollegen&#8221; oder &#8220;So sind wir eben in unserem Freundeskreis&#8221; rechtfertigen kann.<\/p>\n<p>Aus einem Handschlag zur Begr\u00fc\u00dfung wird eine kurze Umarmung, aus einer kurzen Umarmung wird eine l\u00e4ngere Umarmung, aus einer l\u00e4ngeren Umarmung wird eine Umarmung mit K\u00fcsschen&#8230; Falls das nicht schon geschehen ist, tauschen die beiden an diesem Punkt oft unter irgendeinem Vorwand Telefonnummern aus.<\/p>\n<p>Man beginnt nun vielleicht, einander ab und zu WhatsApp-Nachrichten zu schicken, die mit der Zeit immer h\u00e4ufiger werden. Auf einmal vertraut man seinem Partner das eigene Handy nur noch ungern an und erwischt sich selbst beim regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Schnell-Check neuer Nachrichten auf der Toilette.<\/p>\n<p>Die Kommunikation mit dem anderen Menschen wird zunehmend intensiver. Schritt f\u00fcr Schritt eskaliert es vom harmlosen Gespr\u00e4ch zum immer offensichtlicheren Flirt. In Gedanken spielen beide damit, wie es w\u00e4re, den anderen zu k\u00fcssen oder mit ihm\/ihr zu schlafen.<\/p>\n<p>Gleichzeitig stellt sich eine immer st\u00e4rkere Verbundenheit zwischen beiden ein. Die versteckten Flirts und die verbotene Situation, in der sie sich befinden, geben beiden das Gef\u00fchl, unter einer Decke zu stecken. Beide k\u00f6nnen von Zeichen der Zuneigung und Komplimenten des anderen nicht genug bekommen.<\/p>\n<p>Wom\u00f6glich f\u00fchlt man sich in einer gewissen Weise von dieser Person mehr verstanden als vom eigenen Partner oder der eigenen Partnerin. Im Hinterkopf macht sich die Frage breit, ob diese(r) neue Mann\/Frau vielleicht sogar besser zu einem passen w\u00fcrde als der\/die jetzige Partner(in).<\/p>\n<p>Obwohl es zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht zum &#8216;klassischen&#8217; Seitensprung gekommen ist, wird der Kontakt nun vor dem Partner meist geheim gehalten. Dies wiederum vergr\u00f6\u00dfert die Distanz zum eigenen Partner und st\u00e4rkt die Bindung zur potentiellen Aff\u00e4re.<\/p>\n<p>Diese Phase einer Liebesaff\u00e4re kann Tage, Wochen oder Monate (in Ausnahmef\u00e4llen sogar Jahre) andauern. An dem Punkt enden auch viele emotionale Aff\u00e4ren, etwa dann, wenn die vergebene Person die Rei\u00dfleine zieht, bevor es zum auch k\u00f6rperlichen Betrug kommt.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1737411618488\"><strong>Phase 4: Die rote Linie<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 482;\" title=\"Gruende Fremdgehen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Warum-Menschen-fremdgehen.jpg\" alt=\"Zeichnung wie Frau ueber Gruende nachdenkt, warum Menschen fremdgehen\" width=\"812\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"48855\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"482\" data-width=\"812\" data-height=\"461\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Eines Tages passiert es dann. Sei es ein schwacher Moment in einer emotionalen Krise, akute Frustration mit der eigenen Partnerschaft oder schlichtweg unbesiegbares Verlangen:<\/p>\n<p>Die rote Linie wird \u00fcberschritten. Es kommt zum Seitensprung: Eine erotische Ber\u00fchrung, ein inniger Kuss und in den meisten F\u00e4llen fr\u00fcher oder sp\u00e4ter Sex. Die Betroffenen haben nicht mehr aktiv &#8220;Nein! Bis hierher und nicht weiter!&#8221; gesagt, sondern sich von dem Strudel aus Begierde und Neugier mitrei\u00dfen lassen.<\/p>\n<p>Nach diesem Tabubruch vermischen sich die Gef\u00fchle von Faszination, Aufregung, Schuld und Angst zu einem explosiven Emotionscocktail. Die Z\u00e4rtlichkeiten und der Sex mit der neuen Person werden meist als viel intensiver wahrgenommen als unter &#8216;normalen&#8217; Umst\u00e4nden.<\/p>\n<p>Wie wir Menschen nun einmal sind, hat das Verbotene f\u00fcr uns einen besonderen Reiz. Meistens wird dieser Effekt allerdings mit der anderen Person in der emotionalen Aff\u00e4re in Verbindung gebracht.<\/p>\n<p>W\u00e4hrend einerseits das Verlangen und die Leidenschaft durch die Decke gehen, versp\u00fcren die meisten Personen an diesem Punkt starke Schuldgef\u00fchle gegen\u00fcber ihrem Partner bzw. ihrer Partnerin.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1737411618489\"><strong>Phase 5: Die Geheimhaltung<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 483;\" title=\"Affaere und Fremdgehen geheimhalten\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Phasen-einer-Affaere-Phase-5.webp\" alt=\"Illustration wie Mann nach Affaere und Untreue seiner Frau sucht\" width=\"812\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"52932\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"483\" data-width=\"812\" data-height=\"461\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Ist es erst einmal zur Untreue gekommen, versucht die betr\u00fcgende Person in der festen Beziehung fast immer, alles erst einmal geheim zu halten. Auch hier ziehen manche Menschen die Rei\u00dfleine. Etwa dann, wenn sie zu gro\u00dfe Angst bekommen, durch ihr Verhalten ihre gewachsene Beziehung zu verlieren.<\/p>\n<p>Oft nehmen jedoch die Begegnungen mit der Aff\u00e4re hinsichtlich Frequenz und Intensit\u00e4t weiter zu. Dabei werden immer mehr Anstrengungen in Kauf genommen, damit der Partner nichts von der Aff\u00e4re mitbekommt. \u00dcber Wochen, Monate, teilweise Jahre f\u00fchrt die Person nun eine Art Doppelleben: Gegen\u00fcber dem Partner, der nichts davon mitbekommen darf; manchmal aber auch gegen\u00fcber der Aff\u00e4re, die unter Umst\u00e4nden gar nichts von der bereits bestehenden Beziehung des anderen wei\u00df; oder es wird versucht, in beide Richtungen den Anschein zu erwecken, monogam und ausschlie\u00dflich zu lieben.<\/p>\n<p>In der Realit\u00e4t schaut es so aus, dass die Aff\u00e4re einen zunehmend gro\u00dfen Teil des Lebens einnimmt.<\/p>\n<p>Die Zeit f\u00fcr heimliche Treffen werden mit \u00dcberstunden, Dienstreisen, neuen Hobbys oder Verabredungen mit Freunden begr\u00fcndet.

Die zeitliche und emotionale Verf\u00fcgbarkeit in der urspr\u00fcnglichen Beziehung nimmt ab. R\u00fcckfragen wird meist ausgewichen, manchmal reagiert der Befragte genervt bis aggressiv. Das Handy wird vor dem Partner zunehmend streng geh\u00fctet, Toiletteng\u00e4nge werden h\u00e4ufiger und l\u00e4nger (wobei das Handy stets mitgenommen wird), zum Telefonieren wird nun oft das Haus verlassen.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1737411618490\"><strong>Phase 6: Das Auffliegen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 482;\" title=\"Affaere ist aufgeflogen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Phasen-einer-Affaere-Phase-6.webp\" alt=\"Illustration wie Taschenlampe die Affaere von Mann und Frau aufdeckt\" width=\"812\" height=\"460\" data-id=\"52931\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"482\" data-width=\"812\" data-height=\"460\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Es ist fast immer nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis das komplexe L\u00fcgengeb\u00e4ude in sich zusammenf\u00e4llt. W\u00e4hrend man einen One-Night-Stand vielleicht auf Dauer geheim halten kann, gelingt das bei einer anhaltenden emotionalen Aff\u00e4re fast nie.<\/p>\n<p>Insbesondere in einer Beziehung, bei der die Partner zusammenwohnen, ist es fast unm\u00f6glich, dass das &#8216;komische&#8217;, ver\u00e4nderte Verhalten nicht irgendwann auff\u00e4llt. Es gibt einfach zu viele Situationen, in denen die Geheimhaltung scheitern kann, wie zum Beispiel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eine Push-Benachrichtigung am Handy ploppt auf.<\/li>\n<li>Bei einer gemeinsamen Autofahrt erscheint pl\u00f6tzlich ein Anruf der Aff\u00e4re auf dem Display.<\/li>\n<li>Der Partner riecht nach einem unbekannten m\u00e4nnlichen\/weiblichen Parf\u00fcm.<\/li>\n<li>An den Klamotten heften Haare der anderen Person.<\/li>\n<li>Ein Alibi fliegt auf auf (&#8220;Ich habe bei dir in der Arbeit angerufen.

Manchmal wird bereits hier die Trennung ausgerufen. In vielen F\u00e4llen ist aber an dieser Stelle &#8211; aus Sicht von uns Paartherapeuten: zum Gl\u00fcck! &#8211; noch nicht Schluss.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1737411618491\"><strong>Phase 7: Die Entscheidung<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 483;\" title=\"Entscheidung zwischen Partner und Affaere\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Phasen-einer-Affaere-Phase-7.webp\" alt=\"Illustration wie sich Frau f\u00fcr Partner oder Affaere entscheiden muss\" width=\"812\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"52930\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"483\" data-width=\"812\" data-height=\"461\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Sollte der betrogene Partner nach dem Auffliegen der Aff\u00e4re nicht direkt die Trennung oder Scheidung ausgerufen haben, steht nun fast zwangsl\u00e4ufig die Phase der Entscheidung an. Derjenige, der sich die Aff\u00e4re erlaubt hat, wird meist von mindestens einer Seite vor die Wahl gestellt. Von der Aff\u00e4re, sich endlich vom Partner bzw. von der Partnerin zu trennen. Vom Partner bzw. der Partnerin, die Aff\u00e4re schleunigst zu beenden.<\/p>\n<p>In manchen Beziehungen f\u00e4llt diese Entscheidung erstaunlich leicht. Der Betr\u00fcgende ist erleichtert, dass das anstrengende Versteckspiel endlich vorbei ist. Vielleicht hat er insgeheim schon l\u00e4nger gesp\u00fcrt, dass er sich zu einer der beiden Personen deutlich st\u00e4rker hingezogen f\u00fchlt als zur anderen. Entweder zur &#8220;Aff\u00e4re&#8221;, weil sich im Laufe der Zeit gezeigt hat, dass nicht nur der Sex aufregender ist, sondern dass auch das Interesse aneinander und die gegenseitige Unterst\u00fctzung und Anteilnahme &#8220;echt&#8221; sind. Oder aber der Betr\u00fcgende w\u00fcnscht sich nichts mehr als Vers\u00f6hnung und Ausschlie\u00dflichkeit mit seinem bisherigen Partner, z.B. weil sich das zun\u00e4chst Aufregende an der Aff\u00e4re &#8220;abgeliebt&#8221; hat. Oder weil pers\u00f6nliche Unterschiede ans Tageslicht gekommen sind, die nicht &#8220;Lust auf mehr&#8221; gemacht haben &#8211; aber er bisher den &#8220;Absprung&#8221; noch nicht geschafft hat.<\/p>\n<p>Noch h\u00e4ufiger aber ist es, dass die betr\u00fcgende Person eine starke Bindung zu <em>beiden<\/em> Menschen sp\u00fcrt und <em>keinen<\/em> verlieren m\u00f6chte.

Clara, in einer langj\u00e4hrigen Beziehung, f\u00fchlte sich emotional unerf\u00fcllt. Sie fand Trost in der Freundschaft mit einem Kollegen, mit dem sie tiefgr\u00fcndige Gespr\u00e4che f\u00fchrte und eine intensive emotionale Bindung entwickelte. Obwohl keine k\u00f6rperliche Intimit\u00e4t bestand, verbrachte sie mehr Zeit mit ihm und teilte Gedanken, die sie ihrem Partner vorenthielt. Diese emotionale Aff\u00e4re untergrub das Vertrauen in ihrer Beziehung.<\/p>\n<p>Anna hingegen suchte nach k\u00f6rperlicher Aufregung au\u00dferhalb ihrer Partnerschaft. Sie begann eine sexuelle Aff\u00e4re, die auf k\u00f6rperlicher Anziehung basierte, ohne tiefere emotionale Bindung. F\u00fcr sie stand die k\u00f6rperliche Erfahrung im Vordergrund, w\u00e4hrend emotionale Aspekte unber\u00fchrt blieben.<\/p>\n<p>Der Unterschied zwischen ihren Erfahrungen verdeutlicht die verschiedenen Formen der Untreue:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Emotionale Aff\u00e4re<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Bei einer emotionale Aff\u00e4re entsteht eine tiefe emotionale Verbindung zu einer dritten Person, oft ohne k\u00f6rperliche Intimit\u00e4t. Diese Form kann besonders sch\u00e4dlich sein, da sie das emotionale Fundament der Hauptbeziehung ersch\u00fcttert.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sexuelle Aff\u00e4re<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Die sexuelle Aff#re basiert haupts\u00e4chlich auf k\u00f6rperlicher Anziehung und Intimit\u00e4t, ohne notwendigerweise eine emotionale Bindung. Obwohl sie das Vertrauen verletzt, bleibt die emotionale Verbindung zum Hauptpartner oft bestehen.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: var(--tcb-color-5) !important; --tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-color-5) !important;\"><strong>Kann man eine Aff\u00e4re verzeihen?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Die kurze Antwort lautet: Ja.

From the (usually) innocent initial meeting, through the (almost always) growing fascination, the (generally) elaborate logistics of maintaining secrecy, to the (often) dramatic exposure of the extramarital relationship.<\/p><p>In such a situation, everyone involved is usually in a state of emotional turmoil and has many unanswered questions: \"What happens now?!\", \"How much longer can I endure this?\", \"What kind of crazy phase are we actually going through?\", \"Can we even get out of this crazy rollercoaster ride relatively unscathed?\", etc., etc. Women often develop deeper feelings in such situations and face inner conflicts and challenges in their existing relationships.<\/p><p>In recent decades, our couples therapy practice has allowed us to support hundreds of people in triangular relationships: cheaters, cheated-on partners, \"third parties\", family members\u2026<\/p><p>To bring some clarity to the inner chaos, we have divided the 'classic' course of an affair into 7 typical phases in this article. Of course, the course and development of a love triangle can vary considerably from case to case. Individual phases can be shortened, skipped, or added. For many couples, sexuality and erotic attraction are paramount, while for others, there is no <em>physical infidelity, but rather an intense <\/em><em>emotional<\/em> affair with an outside partner develops . A distinction is often made here between an emotional affair and a sexual affair.<\/p><p>Nevertheless, these \u201c7 phases of an affair\u201d outline a multitude of the constellations that we have increasingly encountered over the years: the phases of an <em>emotional<\/em> affair, the phases of a predominantly <em>sexual<\/em> affair, and \u2013 most frequently \u2013 the phases of an affair <em>that is both erotic and emotionally stirring<\/em> .<\/p><p><strong>Are you unsure whether your partner is cheating on you?<\/strong> In our article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/en\/typisches-verhalten-nach-fremdgehen\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none;\">\"Typical Behavior After Infidelity\"<\/a> you can read about how an affair can manifest itself in your partner.&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\t<h2 id=\"t-1737411618484\" class=\"\">What is an affair?<\/h2><p>An affair is a relationship that takes place outside of an existing relationship or marriage. It can include both sexual and emotional aspects and is often kept secret. Affairs can take various forms: from purely sexual affairs to emotional love affairs to complex extramarital relationships. In many cases, an affair begins innocently but develops over time into an intense connection that can put a significant strain on the existing partnership. The secrecy and the resulting tension often lend the affair a special allure, making it even more tempting for those involved.<\/p><p>In love despite being in a relationship?

Encounters with this particular person are clearly enjoyed more than with others. The flirting might still be very subtle: a slightly longer period of eye contact, an \"accidental\" touch in passing, or playful teasing.<\/p><p>Eventually, both realize that after a personal encounter, their thoughts linger on the other person. These thoughts may not be particularly concrete, but something stirs within them. They increasingly look forward to the next contact (even if it's only fleeting at first).<\/p><p>At this point, someone in a committed relationship may already begin to feel guilty.

Usually, this happens so subtly at first that one can still justify it to oneself and others as \"I just have fun with my colleagues\" or \"That's just how we are in our circle of friends.\"<\/p><p>A handshake as a greeting turns into a short hug, a short hug into a longer hug, a longer hug into a hug with kisses... If this hasn't already happened, the two often exchange phone numbers at this point under some pretext.<\/p><p>You might start sending each other occasional WhatsApp messages, which gradually become more and more frequent. Suddenly, you're reluctant to entrust your phone to your partner and find yourself regularly checking for new messages in the bathroom.<\/p><p>Communication with the other person becomes increasingly intense. Step by step, it escalates from harmless conversation to increasingly obvious flirting. Both fantasize about what it would be like to kiss or sleep with each other.<\/p><p>At the same time, a growing bond develops between them. The hidden flirtations and the forbidden situation they find themselves in make them both feel like they're inseparable. Neither can get enough of the other's displays of affection and compliments.<\/p><p>You might feel, in some ways, more understood by this person than by your current partner. The question arises in the back of your mind whether this new man\/woman might even be a better match than your current partner.<\/p><p>Although a 'classic' affair hasn't yet occurred at this point, the contact is usually kept secret from the partner. This, in turn, increases the distance to one's own partner and strengthens the bond with the potential affair partner.<\/p><p>This phase of an affair can last days, weeks, or months (in exceptional cases, even years). Many emotional affairs also end at this point, for example, when the person in a committed relationship pulls the plug before the infidelity escalates to physical infidelity.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc43a43\" id=\"tve-jump-191ff1aa983\"><h2 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a4527a0d2\" style=\"\" id=\"t-1737411618488\"><strong>Phase 4: The red line<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption tve-image-caption-below\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a4527d2ef\" style=\"\"><span class=\"tve_image_frame\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"tve_image tcb-moved-image wp-image-52618\" data-id=\"52618\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"483\" title=\"Phases of an affair: Phase 4\" data-width=\"755\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 483;\" data-css=\"tve-u-191a0d90af3\" loading=\"lazy\" data-height=\"429\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Drawing of a woman thinking about the reasons why people cheat.\" data-id=\"48855\" width=\"812\" data-init-width=\"850\" height=\"461\" data-init-height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Warum-Menschen-fremdgehen.jpg\" data-width=\"812\" data-css=\"tve-u-18c447f4aba\" data-height=\"461\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 482;\" class=\"wp-image-48855\" title=\"Reasons for cheating\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/picture>\n<\/span><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc3cafa\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Then one day it happens. Be it a weak moment in an emotional crisis, acute frustration with one's own relationship, or simply an unconquerable desire:<\/p><p>The red line is crossed. An affair occurs: an erotic touch, a passionate kiss, and in most cases, sooner or later, sex. Those involved no longer actively said \"No! This far and no further!\" but allowed themselves to be swept away by the whirlwind of desire and curiosity.<\/p><p>After this taboo is broken, feelings of fascination, excitement, guilt, and fear mix into an explosive emotional cocktail. The intimacy and sex with the new person are usually perceived as much more intense than under 'normal' circumstances.<\/p><p>As is human nature, the forbidden holds a special allure for us.

For weeks, months, sometimes even years, the person leads a kind of double life: towards their partner, who must remain unaware; sometimes also towards the affair partner, who may be completely unaware of the other person's existing relationship; or attempts are made to create the impression of monogamy and exclusive love in both directions.<\/p><p>In reality, the affair is taking up an increasingly large part of life.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/en\/typisches-verhalten-nach-fremdgehen\/\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none;\">The time for secret meetings is justified with overtime, business trips, new hobbies, or appointments with friends. Typical behaviors following infidelity<\/a> become more frequent &nbsp;in the partner. Time and emotional availability in the original relationship decreases. Questions are usually avoided, and sometimes the person questioned reacts with annoyance or even aggression. The cell phone is increasingly guarded from the partner, trips to the bathroom become more frequent and longer (always with the phone in tow), and the partner often leaves the house to make calls.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc43a43\"><h2 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a452a061f\" style=\"\" id=\"t-1737411618490\"><strong>Phase 6: The Exposure<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption tve-image-caption-below\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a452a24c4\" style=\"\"><span class=\"tve_image_frame\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"tve_image tcb-moved-image wp-image-52620\" data-id=\"52620\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"482\" title=\"Phases of an affair: Phase 6\" data-width=\"755\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 482;\" data-css=\"tve-u-18fa0d30b03\" loading=\"lazy\" data-height=\"428\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Illustration of how a flashlight reveals the affair between a man and a woman\" data-id=\"52931\" width=\"812\" data-init-width=\"850\" height=\"460\" data-init-height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Phasen-einer-Affaere-Phase-6.webp\" data-width=\"812\" data-css=\"tve-u-18c447f5c0d\" data-height=\"460\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 482;\" class=\"wp-image-52931\" title=\"The affair has been exposed\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/picture>\n<\/span><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc3cafa\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">It's almost always only a matter of time before the complex web of lies collapses.

Sometimes, separation is declared at this point. However, in many cases \u2013 thankfully, from our perspective as couples therapists \u2013 this is not the end of the story.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc43a43\" id=\"tve-jump-191ff1ba142\"><h2 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a452af92b\" style=\"\" id=\"t-1737411618491\"><strong>Phase 7: The Decision<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption tve-image-caption-below\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a452b1a0a\" style=\"\"><span class=\"tve_image_frame\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"tve_image tcb-moved-image wp-image-52621\" data-id=\"52621\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"483\" title=\"Phases of an affair: Phase 7\" data-width=\"755\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 483;\" data-css=\"tve-u-191b3653045\" loading=\"lazy\" data-height=\"429\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Illustration of how a woman has to decide between a partner or an affair\" data-id=\"52930\" width=\"812\" data-init-width=\"850\" height=\"461\" data-init-height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Phasen-einer-Affaere-Phase-7.webp\" data-width=\"812\" data-css=\"tve-u-18c447f647b\" data-height=\"461\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 483;\" class=\"wp-image-52930\" title=\"Decision between partner and affair\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/picture>\n<\/span><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc3cafa\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">If the betrayed partner hasn't immediately initiated separation or divorce after the affair was discovered, the decision-making phase is almost inevitable. The person who had the affair is usually faced with an ultimatum from at least one side: the affair partner, to finally end the relationship; or the partner, to end the affair as quickly as possible.<\/p><p>In some relationships, this decision is surprisingly easy. The cheater is relieved that the exhausting game of hide-and-seek is finally over. Perhaps they've secretly felt for some time that they're much more attracted to one of the two people than the other. Either to the \"affair partner\" because, over time, it's become clear that not only is the sex more exciting, but that the mutual interest, support, and concern are also genuine. Or the cheater desires nothing more than reconciliation and exclusivity with their existing partner, for example, because the initial excitement of the affair has faded. Or because personal differences have come to light that haven't sparked any desire for more\u2014but they haven't yet managed to break free.<\/p><p>More often, however, the cheating person feels a strong attachment to <em>both<\/em> people and <em>doesn't<\/em> want to lose either of them. What then?<\/p><p>\"Do I stay with my trusted partner or do I embark on a 'real' relationship attempt with my affair partner?\" It is not uncommon for people to experience an emotional yo-yo effect here: no sooner have they internally made a decision than the painful feelings pull them back to the other person.<\/p><p>The bitter realization sets in now, if it hasn't already: there is no \"good solution\" (anymore). Once the infidelity has been exposed, at least one of the loved ones will be hurt further \u2013 regardless of the decision made.<\/p><p>Does my relationship deserve a second chance? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/en\/zweite-chancen-in-der-beziehung\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none;\">Read on to find out when a second chance makes sense and when a breakup is the right thing to do.<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc43a43\"><h2 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a452feb78\" style=\"\" id=\"t-1737411618492\"><strong>Frequently asked questions about affairs<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption tve-image-caption-below\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a453035df\" style=\"\"><span class=\"tve_image_frame\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"tve_image tcb-moved-image wp-image-52626\" data-id=\"52626\" data-init-width=\"850\" data-init-height=\"478\" title=\"Phases of an affair - questions\" data-width=\"755\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 478;\" data-css=\"tve-u-19195ebec56\" loading=\"lazy\" data-height=\"469\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The woman is saddened by her husband's affair.\" data-id=\"51613\" width=\"812\" data-init-width=\"850\" height=\"457\" data-init-height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paarbalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Affaere-verzeihen.jpg\" data-width=\"812\" data-css=\"tve-u-18c447f82f8\" data-height=\"457\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 850 \/ 528;\" class=\"wp-image-51613\" title=\"Forgiving an affair\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/picture>\n<\/span><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc3cafa\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Below we would like to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about affairs.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18870b503c4\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a4530c917\" id=\"t-1693376988545\" style=\"color: var(--tcb-color-5) !important; --tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-color-5) !important;\"><strong>What is the difference between an emotional affair and a sexual affair?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc3cafa\"><p>Clara and Anna both had affairs, but their experiences differed fundamentally. Clara, in a long-term relationship, felt emotionally unfulfilled. She found solace in a friendship with a colleague, with whom she had deep conversations and developed an intense emotional bond. Although there was no physical intimacy, she spent more time with him and shared thoughts she kept from her partner. This emotional affair undermined the trust in her relationship.<\/p><p>Anna, on the other hand, sought physical excitement outside her partnership. She began a sexual affair based on physical attraction, without any deeper emotional connection. For her, the physical experience was paramount, while emotional aspects remained untouched.<\/p><p>The difference between their experiences illustrates the different forms of infidelity:<\/p><h4 class=\"\"><strong>Emotional affair<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4><p>An emotional affair involves a deep emotional connection with a third person, often without physical intimacy. This form can be particularly damaging, as it undermines the emotional foundation of the primary relationship.<\/p><h4 class=\"\"><strong>Sexual affair<\/strong><\/h4><p>The sexual affair is based primarily on physical attraction and intimacy, without necessarily an emotional bond. Although it violates trust, the emotional connection to the primary partner often remains.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18870b503c4\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18a4530c917\" style=\"color: var(--tcb-color-5) !important; --tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-color-5) !important;\"><strong>Can an affair be forgiven?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886cc3cafa\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The short answer is: Yes.

Over time, however, \"The Spark\" ignites (Phase 2): both partners increasingly enjoy their time together, and their thoughts revolve more and more around each other. Phase 3 is \"The Approach.\" Physical contact becomes closer, phone numbers are exchanged, and communication intensifies. In the forbidden situation, a feeling of connection develops. Meanwhile, the distance between the partner and their own grows.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box tve-elem-default-pad\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18861432048\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a734\" style=\"--tve-border-width: 1px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a736\" id=\"t-1701955858156\"><strong><strong><strong>How does a flirtation turn into an affair?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886137ae7d\"><p style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a737\">When people in committed relationships no longer actively say \"No!\" but instead allow themselves to be swept away by curiosity and desire, \"The Red Line\" is crossed (Phase 4): An affair occurs. Afterwards, an explosive cocktail of emotions arises, a mix of fascination and fear of discovery, which makes physical contact or sex with the new person seem particularly intense. Phase 5 begins: \"Secrecy.\"<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box tve-elem-default-pad\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18861432048\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a734\" style=\"--tve-border-width: 1px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a736\" id=\"t-1701955858157\"><strong><strong><strong>What happens when an affair is exposed?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886137ae7d\"><p style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a737\">Often, it's only a matter of time before phase 6 occurs: \"The Exposure.\" The changed behavior doesn't go unnoticed. The betrayed partner is usually deeply hurt and reacts with intense emotion. Phase 7, \"The Decision,\" almost inevitably follows. If the cheater feels a connection to both parties, there is no longer a \"good solution,\" because at least one loved one will be hurt in any case.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box tve-elem-default-pad\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18861432048\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a734\" style=\"--tve-border-width: 1px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a736\" id=\"t-1701955858158\"><strong><strong><strong>What does a \"typical affair\" look like?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1886137ae7d\"><p style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-18b80f2a737\">There's no single definition of what a typical affair looks like. Everything from a one-night stand to a long-secret romance is possible. Affairs rarely remain undetected for several years.
