It shouldn’t be surprising that the honeymoon phase applies or extends to extramarital affairs. At first, the thrill and anticipation of participating in a new, and in some ways forbidden, relationship is often invigorating.

However, over time these interactions often lose the steam of spontaneity, becoming the victim of routine.

These individuals were not the subjects of our investigation. While working on a cheating investigation in the NJ train station parking lot, these two individuals, unrelated to our case, arrived via their respective cars. They ended up both getting into the rear seat of the SUV and closing the doors.

Let’s go through a hypothetical scenario. Work this past week has been extraordinarily tiring and stressful. Everyone at the office is relieved that it’s Friday.

With each passing or failing test, the relationship advances or ends. The longer a relationship lasts, the more intricate those tests become. Each day presents new people and circumstances.
