The stinging pain of being the victim in an extra-marital affair can be excruciating for a person to process. But, when we say victim, who do we really mean? Is it as black and white as a myopic society typically deems it to be, where the partner who has strayed is made to stand in the people's court with morally outraged fingers pointed in his or her direction? Or should we instead view such incidents through a prism of grey? For, can it be that betrayal — in the truest sense of the word — is a multifaceted concept, where the "victim" is often the perpetrator of such unspeakable horrors that his or her better half takes natural recourse down the thorny path of adultery?
