What recurs in her comments is not just the need for intimacy, but the need to exist in a different way: to feel desired, understood, and supported, even briefly. She admits that this attitude may seem immature: running away rather than facing difficulties. However, she insists on one point: these men don’t always talk about a lack of love. Many claim to sincerely love their wives. A contradiction that’s hard to accept, but one she says she has observed on numerous occasions.
Over time, she came to understand that infidelity isn’t always synonymous with a lack of love. Some people compartmentalize their lives: on one side, stability, family, and their shared history; on the other, a space detached from responsibilities. This doesn’t make betrayal acceptable, but it does shed light on its underlying mechanisms. According to her, many people act out of an inability to express their needs, confront conflicts, or question their own behavior.
