state that the factors that cause a husband at PT Merdeka Bahari Indonesia are not much
different from the theory that has been discussed in the initial chapter, even though it is not
seen from each individual but if concluded will have the same meaning, including
differences of opinion, lack of control from partners, lack of attention, miscommunication,
difficult to manage partners, no welcome when partners return from work, not satisfied in
terms of sexual relations, the existence of opportunities and a bad environment. Of the four
respondents, they chose to still maintain their family because they argued that they just
wanted to find a comfortable sharing friend and had no intention to proceed further. The
impact of infidelity can cause disturbed child psychology for his future and make the child
feel abandoned by the emotional relationship possessed by both his parents, even though
both parents decide to maintain their marriage. The child's psychology will be disturbed
when finding out that one of their parents is cheating, making the child experience shock,
anger, restlessness, and will find it difficult to trust others.
