Why women stray

The expert opinion
Relationships expert, Paula Hall says: 'An affair always signals a turning point in a relationship. Sometimes there's no way back. Either a partner won't forgive or you just can't forgive yourself. But for some couples, an affair forces them to look at themselves and their relationship in a different light. There's no way your relationship can ever be the same, but sometimes it can be better than ever before. With more honesty and openess and commitment to make sure neither of you ever strays again.'
