Good One. Hats off to you to make a point, that work life and personal life are entirely different domains. Its improtant for all of us to undestand this point. Wish, your article can save few homes.

Dear All,

A really good contribution for a happy married life. Sometimes we think that at any given moment, we can stop, but things start controlling us. It becomes near impossible to get rid of it. It is better to stay away.

Dear Friends,

We are responsible adults and need to know when to draw the line. I write this as I have seen an almost identical case unfold before my eyes and fervently hope that it does not end horribly. Most part of the day is spent at work and traveling. The only option we have is to spend some quality time with family as there is no quantity time at our disposal. We must make the most of this as this is an equal if not bigger responsibility as our work. We work for enhancing the lives of our families, and it is a shame that not most realize it and give importance to their colleagues over their family post-work.

Wake up, guys! There is more to life than just work! Explore life with your family whenever possible. You only live once!

Dear Prateba,

The relationship through office otherwise is a mirage, which causes the deers and 'dears' to run, exhaust, and only to find they reached nowhere and also lost themselves and family. Very good article. Please contribute more such articles...(By the way, what is your mobile number...?)

Thank you.

Pradeepa,

Thanks for bringing this to our notice.

The only substantial thing in the post is "Colleagues are workmates & not friends," which I completely agree with.

The rest, I feel, is just a way for you to take out your frustrations. Maybe it happened to you or your close friends, whatever it may be.

What people do, they do it knowingly or unknowingly; it's up to them. If some people want to get into an extramarital affair, it's their call. They know the consequences.

Now, I know that your post is about learning how to stop this from happening, but what you need to understand is that your techniques are baseless. We want someone to talk to; sometimes we make friends this way. Sometimes people love flirting, even if they are married; it brings the zing back into their lives. Regarding husband-wife relationships, well, they need to be open with ample communication. Communication is the crux of stopping these affairs.

If there is no communication, then people look for someone who is willing, and that leads to various bad habits, as you state.

So, I don't agree with your orthodox ideas and ways.

Next time when you want to pen down your thoughts, ensure that your research on human behavior and psychology is up to the mark. I see no research done by you at all, just the typical Indian female psychology: "stay at home, don't talk to boys, be a good, nice housewife, and your husband is god and always right." Other men (not the husbands) are hungry wolves who are only waiting to get into the women's pants.

It's great to read your article. I have seen, or in fact, I am seeing such burning issues in my own workplace. It is very disheartening to see that people get into extramarital relationships, thus indirectly being dishonest to their spouses. Please understand, your family trusts you, and the foundation of any relationship is "Trust." The day on which this foundation is broken, the entire structure of the relationship collapses. One might argue that this kind of behavior is just cool under the pretext of having a "Modernized thought process," but they would only be fooling themselves. This is definitely a growing concern considering that it's becoming a part of our culture.

Hello,

While appreciating your useful post, I feel you only tried to address the 'Personal Front' of the employees. We should analyze the aftermath situation of the company in these cases. Because of this unintended human behavior and serious lapses in addressing them beforehand, the situation escalates to these extents. However, the company will face more challenges in overcoming these behaviors of employees (human beings).

Hello, while appreciating your useful post, everyone should also understand the organization's point of view as these unintended human behaviors and serious lapses in addressing them in the early stages can lead to situations being escalated to such extents. Organizations also suffer from these incidents and will face more challenges in overcoming these situations than their business challenges, with HR being crucial. Some key aspects include:

- Proper handling of the local community, employees' families, media, and bureaucrats, as the organization has a social responsibility to respond.
- Image rebuilding exercises need to be conducted swiftly to address issues like the perception of inadequate security within the organization.

This is my personal feeling, and I appreciate your understanding.

Hi Pradepa,

First of all, thanks a lot for such a wonderful article on extramarital affairs, which is so prevalent nowadays in the corporate world too. I just want a favor from you. If you can, please provide some information about the two cases of extramarital affairs in Bangalore and Hyderabad, which you mentioned in your post. I'm preparing a presentation and would appreciate authentic information. Could you please let me know when those incidents happened? What were the reasons behind committing suicide? Or do you have any other articles or information on this topic?

I'll be eagerly waiting for your reply.

Thanks and Regards,
Akshita.

Extra Marritial Affairs.
This act basically shows the mental process of the couple working througout the day and then mentally/Physically stressed during the nights thus sexual acts between working married couples reduces, leading to day time affair ie during work hours ( Behind The Scence ) and betweeen workmates.
This is where Family,Personal ethics, moral values + the consequences shud be given an overview and then only it will lead to conscious efforts towards ones own control in desires.
Hope we all start following the same and discourage such immoral behaviors by isolating it and if possible consulting within peers and workmates for better awareness.

Completely agree with all the viewpoints mentioned. It's each individual's life, and each one needs to be responsible for it.

One needs to prioritize what is important in life; finally, it's only your family who would be there to support and take care of you.

In my point of view, it's a stupid article. On the other hand, in your article, I will agree with some points, but others, like colleagues not being friends, are not acceptable. Colleagues can become friends, and there is a limit to everything. This is my thought (it may differ from person to person).

Hey pradepa,I dont agree to the point, that colleagues cannot be friends. One chooses their friends, and how far the friendship goes. However the rest of the articles is simply superb.Regards,Vanita

This article is really informative. You have done a very good job by writing this article. It is only because of an extramarital affair that we are now seeing the Arushi Murder Case. It is an eye-opener for parents that their affairs can end in this way as well.

Hats off, Pradeepa, for this article. Each and every point is true. I am a victim of this. I got married 6 years ago to a guy who convinced me that he would love me to death.

I am working in a top MNC. After 1 year of marriage, he started the same thing you discussed above, point to point, the same way. I was shocked when I read this article, realizing there are so many victims like me.

It took 3 years for me to realize what had happened to me, by which time I had a 3-month-old baby in my hands.

He flirted without any pity, respect, or love for me and my baby. Since he is on the interview panel, he would recruit the girl he likes. It is devastating to think how he could sleep with so many of them and spoil my life.

It has been 3 years since I got separated. I walked out because I was becoming vulnerable, crying for his love and honesty. I chose to lead a single life with my son with dignity rather than living with him in humility.

I left the decision to God. I attempted suicide but failed. Otherwise, I would also have been in the news as a victim of this trend of infidelity among software industry couples.

I have one question for those girls. Why do you play with others' marriages? It is a divine affair and a once-in-a-lifetime event. People like me may be blessed with the courage to stand up and live a single, dignified life. But do you know what we miss every second?
