The concepts of romance and relationships have changed in the environment that we live in today. The willingness of people to participate in numerous romantic relationships at once, even while committed to a primary spouse, is an intriguing trend that has gained popularity. The human heart longs for adventure, excitement, and engaging encounters in the world of love and romance. Accidental meetings, intense partnerships, and covert rendezvous have long been woven into the fabric of human connections. Even if traditional ideas of monogamy and committed relationships rule many countries, there is an undeniable fascination with venturing into love adventures outside the bounds of traditional relationships. Engaging in this intriguing exploration of love adventures necessitates reflection, presents ethical issues, and reveals the depths of human wants.
“It`s not surprising that people are now accepting of the idea of supplemental partners, affectionately referred to as "side hustles," given shifting societal dynamics and developing attitudes towards partnerships. Others find comfort and joy in broadening their horizons, while some may object to this practice,” says Sybill Shiddel, country manager, Gleeden, India.
