Would you -- could you -- have an affair? Before you answer, read the candid article Daniel Linder writes in Single Again Magazine, because if Linder is tempted, it's got to be tough to say no.
Linder is a licensed therapist who specializes in building intimate relationships. He's the self-proclaimed happily married father of two, a man strongly committed to the vows of fidelity. So of all people who ought to know the pitfalls of having an affair, he's at the very top of the list.
Yet he admits he was tempted -- more than tempted -- in fact, and he writes truthfully about the turmoil he faced. He talks of how his friendship with a candy store clerk blossomed and led to romantic fantasies in his head.
Linder says, "A voice in the back of my mind tells me that my answer is not supposed to be 'Yes,' that people who are happily married, committed to vows of fidelity and who are entrusted to guide others on matters of the heart should not be thinking about having affairs...but there's another voice telling me that it is perfectly OK to want to have an affair."
