In the world, perceptions of infidelity were often negative. That was before learning that extramarital relationships had therapeutic qualities.

No, this is not a joke: therapeutic infidelity is a now a ‘thing’ in our society. It seems to be a way to indulge oneself guilt-free, to blossom and thus ensure the health and longevity of one’s couple. The French no longer wish to feel trapped and imprisoned in too narrow and exclusive a relationship. Ways to love have evolved, along with conventions.

“I signed up to Gleeden to share moments of tenderness and sensuality, but also to spice up my coupled life – it was like a flat EEG!”, as confides Pierre, age 47.

Most unfaithfuls have indeed had the occasion, by taking a lover, to reassess their feelings, to take a step back and reevaluate their so-called ‘official’ relationship. They see their happiness in an objective light and get a more positive impression of their daily lives. Infidelities can be seen as a breakaway, a breath of fresh air, helping unfaithfuls to find anew a form of harmony in their couple.

“We just want to free ourselves, mutually, from any pressure; to recharge our batteries in each other’s arms” says Nathalie, 35.

Infidelity could therefore very well be a beneficial way of “healing” the official couple. At last, a taboo some have come to terms with…food for thought!
