How does the brain of an unfaithful person work? – Part III
Jealousy is the expression of anger and aggression in the face of the potential or actual loss of a loved one.
Knowing that you have been cheated on activates the left prefrontal cortex, the most intelligent brain we have, the cingulate gyrus, the amygdala and the insula. Just thinking about being unfaithful activates the temporal lobe and the insula. Infidelity is related to processes of impulsiveness and poor cortical maturity.
If love has three basic elements, the process is hardly broken by infidelity. Understanding and practicing this, neurosurgeries say, facilitates monogamy.
Intelligence: It is the admiration for one's partner and helps solve problems.
Attraction: It is physical, it is the symmetry of the face, body.
Social Recognition: that others like it, especially the person in love's life's reference point.
We see these three elements in my Leaders Summit retreat with clear numbers of your current reality, because you have to know that the reality of your relationship changes.
A person is unfaithful if one of these 3 factors has a low intentionality in the couple.
