In “Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One,” it states that three-quarters of Americans believed that it is wrong to have sexual relations with someone that is not your partner by marriage. Esther Perel, a couples therapist, encourages more interpersonal honesty and harmony as a way to enhance their relationships. Perel also states, that it is not the person you are turning from, but the person you are becoming. Her solutions to bedroom betrayal are often just cuckoo. She suggests that one wife builds an alter to her husband’s paramour to remind her of how the other woman reinvigorated her marriage. So it’s brave women who will stick up for the adulterer, suggest that satisfying one’s sexual hungers- even at great cost to a loved one-is understandable and advance the notion of a “no-fault affair.” (2017, Luscombe, 17). Affairs should not be an option and you should have respect for your partner.

In Belinda Luscombe's article "Affairs are only human, which is no excuse to have one" Belinda discusses how Esther Perel's claim of monogamy being right. "Is watching internet porn equivalent to paying for personalized online performance?" (Luscombe, 18). I disagree with that question because a website based on cheating on your spouse is cheating because you are in contact with another person whose purpose is to help cheat on your spouse, where as a pornographic website is just looking and no contact with another person or transactions involved.

The answer is no. because we're only human. But to love is to attempt.” (2017, Luscombe, 18.) The answer is no. Mistakes are always forgivable, but it’s the effort you put in after the mistake that matters.

Affairs have been a part of human nature for as long as history. Despite this, there is still widespread debate as to whether or not they are moral. Belinda Luscombe takes an interesting look at this controversial subject in her The View article, “Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One.” She compares monogamy to other aspects of human life, saying “No, monogamy is not natural. But neither is decoding the genome or auto racing, and nobody thinks we should abandon those endeavors” (Luscombe, 18). She’s saying that even though many dismiss the idea of monogamy as being unnatural, many other things that we do and see everyday fall into that same category. Despite monogamy being unnatural, it is a goal that we should all strive to achieve. It being unnatural does not inherently make it a bad thing.

She states “ As parents tell their kids,weather you hit your friend by accident or deliberately it still stings pretty much the same” (Luscomb 18) . In this quote Luscomb is trying to say that monogamy can be an committed on accident, and even though it’s an accident it can still hurt the same. Monogamy does not happen by accident. When monogamy happens the person committing is not thinking about their family or partner in that moment he only cares about themselves.

" In Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One."Having an affair is something that is by choice. No you should not do it because of the fact that it could ruin family's and or the relationship. Luscombe says " Is breaking up an otherwise happy family because its creators are sexually incompatible really better for everyone than having a secret side lover." (Luscombe 18)Then why do it if they know something will happen to break up the connection within the family? Is it really worth it? Most people who have an affair don't usually have affairs but occasionally do betray their families, but betray themselves.

In “Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One,” Belinda Luscombe discusses human affairs and Esther Perel’s view. Esther Perel argues that while infidelity is a betrayal, it ignores whether or not we are being realistic about our most intimate relationships. Luscombe stated “No, monogamy is not natural. But neither is decoding genomes or auto racing, and nobody thinks we should abandon these endeavors.” (2017, Luscombe, 18). To her, monogamy is wrong, but so are other things we do as humans. We abandon behaviors that are considered unacceptable by some, but we repeatedly do the ones that are wrong to most of society. Maybe Luscombe was stating that we need to re-evaluate what we as humans think of as right and wrong in terms of relationships.

But you should you really though? Because, if you feel like you have to cheat on someone whom who you are with and supposed to be with until death do you part just to satisfy your own sexual needs, then why be with that said person?  If you truly loved someone you wouldn't of hurt them no matter the circumstances.

In Luscombe's article "Affairs Are Only Human, Which is No Excuse to Have One", she talks about what leads up to affairs and puts a boundary between people in a relationship. Of course not all the situations are the same, but usually the person who commits the affair, never started out wanting it to happen. Esther Perel says "Sometimes we seek the gaze of another, it's not our partner we are turning away from, but the person we have become". So who is the person that we have become? Have we become selfish? Luscombe states "The simple question at the heart of committing to somebody till death is whether you can value that persons needs ahead of your own."(Perel,18). For many the answer is no. However there will be times when we will "spin out...but decide to keep aiming for the checkered flag." (Luscombe,18). Once we learn to put others needs ahead of our own, and respect yourself and your partner. Then you will be able to live a long and prosperous relationship with a spouse.

According to Belinda Luscome, most people Avoid a question. " The simple question at heart of committing to somebody till death is weather you can value that persons needs ahead of your own." As said by Belinda on page 18 in her article The View, she is she is defining the issue of peoples ability to handle someone else's needs before your own? In a relationship, it take two people to make a happy, working relationship. But in a affair it leads to not trusting the one whom did the affair. It is not fair for the one who was cheated on to deal with the pain that the other is caused over their own needs. Affairs is not something that shouldn't be forgiven.

Luscombe describes people who cheat may need a second chance with their ex cause it was a mistake, as she discusses Esther Perel's statement that while monogamy is morally correct, people should not judge one who cheated on another and if they still put the effort in on that relationship. If you truly loved one another, they would stay committed to that man or woman and not cheat on them. In my mind if someone cheats on you once they will do it again so it is most likely best to let that person go. " A tigers stripes never change " which is stating that the person you are with the will never change .

But this also prove that if a person have to do this to keep a marriage alive shows that they aren't right for each other and need to go and find someone else that is the right one. Instead of going out and "juicing up boudoir ardor."

She discusses Esther Perel’s claim that being married to someone is correct, people should not judge one another if they are trying to save their relationship with their loved one.  According to Luscombe, "The simple question at the heart of committing to somebody till death is whether you can value that person's needs ahead of your own" (Luscombe, 18). In Luscombe’s overthinking mind, maybe being married to someone is not what others want or see for themselves in the future and that all people need to think of themselves. If one person truly wanted to be who they were with in the first place of love, they would put all their effort into staying together or finding another way into solving the relationship without having to cheat.

In Belinda Luscombe' s article "Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One," the author is discussing why people cheat on others. Esther Perel's claims on having an affair with someone other than one partner is ok. People shouldn't judge other people that have cheated on another person in their life while putting in effort to save their relationship. Those who cheat may think that it's OK, but someone who is with that person; may think that it's not OK. "No, monogamy is not natural. But neither is decoding the genome or auto racing, and nobody thinks we should abandon those endeavors." ( Luscombe, 18.) The way that the she thinks of monogamy; is the fact that that people do it all the time. The reason being that nobody is perfect, but they are different. Her statement, "A failure of fidelity can be less an opportunity,"  stands out to me. Not all mistakes are forgiven, so choose your actions very carefully.

The Article "Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One" is written by Belinda Luscombe , is about why some people feel the need to have an affair. While Luscombe talks about the betrayal of an affair she raises some questions about some peoples morals and how they feel after they have an affair. According to Luscombe "Sometimes when we seek the gaze of another, its not our partner we are turning away from, but the person we have become." ( Luscombe,18). Maybe she is trying to say you are not only betraying our partner but also yourself. You are betraying your beliefs and what you stand for, and that might even be worse than the affair itself. Be true to yourself, your partner, and believe in your morals to stop something like that from happening. Having an affair doesn't solve your marriage problems, so why do it?

They betray themselves," (Luscombe, 18). Luscombe is saying that when people cheat the hurt their family and themself. The person who cheats hurts themselves because they became something the thought they never would have when they made those vows. They knew it is wrong to cheat but they still did it.

In Belinda Luscombe's Article "Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One," Luscombe discuses the definition of marriage and the importance of being married. The true definition of marriage has changed. People should not judge someone for cheating if they are putting in the effort to save the marriage. If one person truly loved their significant other, they would try to pick up the broken pieces and put them back together to save the marriage.  This is what Esther Perel believes however, if you truly loved your partner in the first place there should be no reason for you to cheat on your significant other. As in the essay it states "Whether you hit your friend on accident or deliberately, it still stings pretty much the same." (Luscombe, 18). This is stating that whether you wanted to cheat or didn't want to it's still going to hurt your partner. It will sting no matter the circumstance but, it's whether you can show how much you love them and care for them after that matters.

In Belinda Luscombe Article “Affairs Are Only Human, Which Is No Excuse To Have One,” she talks about the act of cheating on one's significant other and sights Esther Pearl on  weather it's okay to do so or not if they're willing to still put in the work to fix the relationship. In the article Luscombe states, “ As parents tell their kids, whether you hit your friend by accident or deliberately, it still stings pretty much the same.”(Luscombe, 18.). This sentence is stating a warning  to teach that whether your attempts were on purpose or if it was a subtle accident they can hurt all the same in the end. This goes the same for cheating whether you did it to hurt the other or not it stings the same, but monogamy doesn't happen by accident this is the effect of one person putting their thoughts above the others and doing what they want ignoring the consequence that will follow their bad decision.
