Existential Phenomena in Men's Marital Infidelity

5/7/ 1400 Abstract Explaining the cause of tendency to marital infidelity, especially among people with religious backgrounds, merely focu-sing on elements such as emotional-sexual dissatisfaction or marital conflict, is a sort of superficial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the phenomena in men's identification of six sub-themes (escape from contemplation & pause, escape from destiny, struggle with existential loneliness, hollow and desire-oriented love, value transformation and escape from existential emptiness) and a major theme (of existential alienation). Revealing these factors not only increases information and awareness about the how cues of marital infidelity is formed and intensified from an existential point of view, but also showed that increasing one's awareness toward one's nature and leads to reducing alienation from its dimensions; these issues are things that can reduce a one's desire to the experience of marital infidelity.
