Abstract

Traditional physical workspaces have gone after the pandemic has happened. Individuals working at home have distractions that they would have not faced earlier. The usual working hours have taken a toll after they have started to work from home. Mental health and emotional support are not the same for professionals. Infidelity or extramarital affairs are also increasing in this situation where the individual is trying to date someone outside their marriage for emotional or mental support. The negative effect of an extramarital affair is expected to be exacerbated for the individuals working from home and involved in infidelity. The process of healing can also take time making a huge influence on the family relationships including children. In India, extradyadic relationships are not commonly talked about because of the wide cultural and societal influence. But the ground reality according to research studies is that there are many who indulge in the same. This article gives a brief background of extramarital and infidelity research carried out in the past 10 years (2012–2021) and sees how the extramarital affair in families has evolved and impacted individuals working from home during the pandemic.

在家工作期间婚外情激增:我们目前所知道的

大流行发生后，传统的物理工作空间消失了。在家里工作的人会受到干扰，这是他们以前不会遇到的。他们开始在家工作后，正常的工作时间发生了变化。心理健康和情感支持对专业人士来说是不一样的。在这种情况下，不忠或婚外情也在增加，个人试图与婚姻外的人约会，以获得情感或精神上的支持。对于在家工作并有不忠行为的人来说，婚外情的负面影响预计会加剧。治愈的过程也需要时间，对包括孩子在内的家庭关系产生巨大影响。在印度，由于广泛的文化和社会影响，境外关系不常被谈论。但根据调查研究，现实情况是，有许多人沉迷于同样的事情。本文简要介绍了过去10年(2012-2021年)开展的婚外情和不忠研究的背景，并了解了家庭婚外情是如何演变的，以及疫情期间在家工作的个人是如何受到影响的。
