The Outside Affair...

Welcome to the world of Grays!
Neutrality grants some convenient liberties. Despite not being a proponent of it I've lately been consciously spending some quality time reading on ‘Extramarital Love’ - not just gleaning data on it but trying to understand the facts (and fictions) around this societal taboo (supposedly) ailing the World for ages.
Living in a world smitten with so much of hatred, I cannot rebuff any relationship that binds … as it only brings people together though at the cost some split elsewhere.
The moot point is – does the newfound relation postulate the denial of the existing ? Does that ask you to severe an unfeigned bond or to deceive someone (in turn yourself) and blame it on 'Love' ? Love is natural and infallible...and not a recourse to justify wantonness.
Extramarital affair is largely rampant amidst couples with relationship issues - as either partner tend to scout the coveted ‘shoulder' for sharing ‘Life' - outside the existing. We all, consciously or otherwise, look for concordance, try to embrace that is apparently pleasing to oneself, and as soon as we identify the source (animate or inanimate), we cling to it. I believe, falling into something as natural as relationship cannot be contained by any social measure…..as that connotes ruling ‘Minds’ – something that is so decidedly insusceptible to any earthly dictates. If ever tried, it entails revolts ... causing worse.
Why do we look for ‘the other’ person? Primarily, having found the present relation incapable of consummating the needs – be it mental or physical, people look out.....Instead of trying to cure the wound, they unwittingly resort to amputation.
But is the ‘other’ love real ?....I mean can we really fall in an inopportune love – despite being sworn to someone. And do we tend to define/delimit emotions to social advantage? 

Is love so intolerant? Tough question!
