You start to invent whole chunks of your holiday to hide the reality. Infidelity may also be symptomatic of a deeper malaise. Those who think it s OK on location may not be that committed to their partners in the first place, or have a rather immature view of what commitment means. It may also be a subconscious break for freedom. Partners can survive infidelity on holiday, as long as it represents a lapse, not a profound problem.
Cooper is optimistic.
If someone you love does have a holiday fling you should try not to be too upset by it. It isn t the end of the world, but it is painful . Holidays should be a time to explore each other, not other people. Those who are dumped may be kicking themselves, but the secret is to learn from the mistake rather than wallow in self-pity.
