Wikipedia describes extra marital relationships as relationships outside of marriage where
an illicit romantic or sexual relationship or a romantic friendship or
passionate attachment occurs.
We all crave & love, then why do we engage in extra marital affairs?
According to Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist ,”love is not really an
emotion but more of a brain system. When it comes to love, we have three brain
systems - first is the sex drive, second romantic love and third, partner
attachment. And the brain architecture works in a manner that while being
attached to one partner, we can feel intense love for another and sex drive for
even more partners.

Pure lust
This is the most common among all types of affair. The couple are in it only for sex as it makes them feel sexually liberated in a secret affair. They have no plans to leave their present partners but they enjoy the passion in bed.

Emotional affairs
While the two don't engage in a physical relationship, they are deeply entwined in each other's minds. They are constantly flirting, exchanging messages, and sharing intimate details.

Revenge affairs
These ones are triggered primarily because of resentment towards the current partner. This affair happens because the partner wants to get even with his/her spouse. They might have discovered their partner’s infidelity or are deranged by their partner's indifference.
Delusional affairs
These are imagined affairs. You mistake someone’s friendliness for attention and interest and worse, liking or love.
Body and soul affairs
These are the serious ones of all. It involves sex,
emotional dependence and feeling complete in each other’s company. Both see each other as soul mates. This
kind of affair is capable of wrecking marriages, simply because the
relationships feel so right. Relationship
expert and tarot card reader, Madhu Kotya explains, "There are a very
small percentage of body and soul affairs. It's more spiritual than physical
and emotional. They feel the need to constantly feel each other and separation
pains them immensely. This is the kind of affair that leads to divorces and
remarriages."
