Emotional neglect can lead to affairs from "summary" of His Needs, Her Needs by Willard F. Harley Jr.
When a spouse feels emotionally neglected in a marriage, they may start to seek emotional fulfillment outside of the relationship. Emotional neglect can lead to affairs because when one partner is not meeting the emotional needs of the other, they may turn to someone else who seems to understand and appreciate them. In a marriage, emotional needs such as affection, conversation, and recreational companionship are crucial for maintaining a strong connection between partners. When these needs are not met, it can create a void in the relationship that leaves one spouse feeling unfulfilled and lonely. If a spouse is consistently feeling ignored, unappreciated, or unloved, they may begin to seek out someone who can provide the emotional support they are lacking in their marriage. This can often lead to emotional affairs, where one partner forms a close bond with someone outside of the marriage in order to fulfill their emotional needs. Emotional neglect can create feelings of resentment and distance between partners, making it easier for one spouse to justify seeking emotional fulfillment elsewhere. The lack of emotional connection in the marriage can make the idea of an affair more appealing, as the neglected spouse may feel that they deserve to be happy and loved, even if it means seeking it outside of the marriage.- Emotional neglect can be a driving force behind affairs in a marriage, as the desire for emotional fulfillment and connection is a fundamental need that, if not met within the marriage, may lead one partner to seek it elsewhere. It is essential for spouses to communicate openly and address any feelings of neglect in order to prevent the breakdown of the relationship and the temptation of affairs.
