The third and final category of jobs that Dr. Talal Alsaleem points towards as a breeding ground for infidelity revolves around corporate ladder climbers and those working in high pressure sales jobs. It's no secret that some corporate work environments can be cutthroat and demanding, leading to "a whatever-it-takes approach" to complete assigned tasks and reach goals, according to Dr. Alsaleem. The constant pressure and irregular hours of corporate workaholics "can put a lot of strain on the individual as well as their relationship with their significant others," the marriage therapist said.
Some corporate and sales jobs require frequent travel and wooing over clients with expensive dinners and perks, which Dr. Alsaleem said can lead to "blurring the boundaries and reducing the risk of discovery" for cheating partners. Additionally, toxic corporate environments that include abuses of power and "quid pro quo dynamics" can make infidelity all the more accessible.
While no job is perfect, there are clearly some that require extra effort when trying to build and maintain a healthy relationship. Clear communication, openness, and prioritizing your partner can make any job work in your marriage.
