Bored in your relationships? Lost the ‘spark’ and settling for less? Marriage or long-term relationships can very quickly decay into become suffocating and emotionally draining, far from the liberating and erotic dizziness that first drove your courtship. You’re now dominated by routine, sex is stale. The adventure is gone, the passion is dead and the eroticism has evapourated.
It’s part culture and part our fault. Our consumer attitude has seemingly perforated even our approach to one another. We take what we need and head on our way – and it’s killing not only our relationships but our ability to be happy. We have a contentment crisis on our hands.
It’s at this precise point that most affairs happen, as an attempt to reawaken desire. The thrill of the chase, the connection and the mystery of someone you don’t know. “Desire is fuelled by the unknown” says this week’s London Real guest Esther Perel. That’s why when people cheat they feel alive.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Eroticism, mystery and romance are possible in long term relationships. How? Watch the show and Esther will reveal all!
