Love addict affair - when a person feels a lack of love in their married life and believes they are married to the wrong person. It feels like an eternal relationship for “the one”. This is more like a compulsion or even an obsession where one person is more about the relationship and not the physical interaction. The affairs such people have could be sexual and emotional.
 

Sex addict affair happens when one person is unsatisfied with their sex life. They find this satisfaction in others. This affair is primarily physical and not emotional. But instead, if they talk to their partner about it, this can be solved quickly. 

Revenge affair - this can be one of the most dangerous types of affair. This is when a person has an affair with someone to make the other person feel insecure. They want to prove that others desire them. 

Cyber affair -  this is a modern affair where cheaters like someone else online, no matter who they are. The fact that they are strangers makes them feel excited. They have this affair and have fun, which can get emotional or physical. 

Exit strategy affair -  a person who also has an affair when they want to end their relationship. When they are unhappy with their marriage, they try to get away from it, which can lead to an affair.

One night stand - The lines“It just happened”, “I was feeling vulnerable”, and” I was drunk” come into the picture and are a part of an “accidental” affair. In this affair, the partner who wants this experience is generally married and wants to stay in it but wants an invalid temporary change. In such affairs, there is no emotional attachment, only physical.

Romantic affairs with attachment - When there is an attraction to another person so much that you start believing that you are in love with them, it means you are in a romantic affair. This can be both emotional and physical.
