Genuineness
1. If we don’t have to be anything other then what we are in every moment then we relax, we no longer need to be prepared, braced to change something that isn’t true
2. We give others permission to do the same
3. We get all that energy we used to create some artificial persona back, we relax and feel right with the world

When you are unhappy in a relationship and don’t advocate for yourself it becomes a dangerous position. Unmet needs, if they are deep enough, have to find a way to be fulfilled. If you sense that you are unhappy and find yourself drawn to someone else, it is a warning sign to pull back and deal with the intimacy issues in your committed relationship. To indulge in the other relationship is emotional cheating.
Warning signs:
1.Long-term unhappiness in your committed relationship
2.Fantasizing about other people or relationships in excess
3.Romantic intriguing with people
How to move forward:
1.Cut off all contact with the person whom you are intrigued with
2.Turn back to your relationship and deal with the intimacy issues at hand
3.Get professional help if needed
Although facing the intimacy issues in your relationship may mean the end of that relationship, you will spare your partner and yourself much heartache. You can walk with your head held high, knowing you did the right thing. Many times the relationship can be saved; it just requires some worthwhile work.
