It is a big issue when men start showing interest in other women while in a marriage or relationship. Everyone handles it differently, but there's a couple of general advice for women going through situations like this, according to psychologist Dmytro Ostapenko.

The psychologist said that in such situations, everything depends on the level of interest and the woman's reaction, meaning that for some, mere correspondence is already considered betrayal.

"If such a situation has occurred where your husband has become interested in someone else, you can either 'attack' him and tell him how bad he is - you have the right to, but you won't like the effect of such actions. Or you can pause for a moment and ask yourself, 'Okay, he's interested in someone else, why, what's lacking, what's missing?'" advises Dmytro.

"If it's just his selfish stance and you understand that as a woman, you do a lot in the family, and you understand that you put in a lot of effort, then leave him with this choice," adds the psychologist.

It turns out that the result depends on how rationally the woman approaches herself, her actions, the relationship in the couple, and generally to such a phenomenon as spousal betrayal.

Men's interest in other women can arise consciously and unconsciously, and it depends on many factors. Therefore, it's always necessary to sense your loved one's behavior and evaluate your chances for the future.
