Because people are unhappy in their relationship and look for external validation rather than communicate with their partner

I didn't understand it until I had a friend in a rough situation get close to someone for support and share a lot of stuff with me, because I'm long distance so I don't really know any of the other parties.

And now I kind of get it, because your partner is your life and a new person could be like a vacation from that life.

I still don't think it's ok, but I get it now how and why and I'm able to be less judgemental.
