if someone is constantly neglected by their SO, and they've tried to work through it, and still no improvements, they start looking outside of that relationship, in the hopes of finding someone who will fill that void.
yes, it is a temporary fix, maybe even a fake fix, but when someone is desperate, that might actually do something for them. I'm not supporting one side or the other: I'm just trying to look at it from another point of view. Like looking at that person as a bit of a victim, as someone you want to help.
Yes, I think it is a lack of self-respect ect, if you focus your attention on a third party, but then again, I think it's only natural, and considering we all want to feel loved and wanted and appreciated, looking for someone who will make you feel that way is sometimes the only way out.
