Relationship

Mental health is all about how we think, feel, and act. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being and how we manage stress and make healthy choices. Taking care of our mental health is crucial; a little ignorance can lead to issues like anxiety, depression, and so on. According to CDC reports, nearly half of adults experience a mental illness at least once in their lifetime. Now the question is: can mental health affect relationships? Research and practical experiences show us that mental illness can decrease the quality of life, lower productivity, and even affect one’s physical health. If mental health can affect everything in life, from our perception to productivity, it can directly or indirectly affect our relationships with our partners and other family members. Mental health issues like major depressive disorder, post-traumatic disorder, anxiety, and alcoholism can affect a person’s relationships.

According to the recent General Social Survey (GSS), men are more likely to cheat compared to women. Nearly 20% of men and 13% of women reported having had sex outside of marriage. These stats can make us think twice about love, relationships, and commitment. Unfortunately, there are some common signs your spouse is cheating that you should be aware of. Also, people who have cheated on their partners can be better at detecting lies and deception themselves.
