Small talk, denial and of course the alcohol was to blame: How people manage to justify infidelities to themselves.

Sebastian Herrmann
In the rush of infatuation, when the endorphins are sizzling, only this one person exists. Desire someone else? Never! In this phase, the romantics of this earth firmly believe that the butterflies will forever flutter through their bellies, that they will love, honor and be faithful to one another until death do them part. But then an everyday life full of duties and routines slowly turns the common fire to a low flame. Desire searches again, perceives temptations, and it happens: infidelity, infidelity, pain, betrayal. In addition to the consequences for the relationship and the soul costume of the betrayed, there is a question: how do the unfaithful manage to justify their betrayal to themselves? Nothing easier than that. People are masters at belittling their own transgressions.
