Short and fleeting affairs can leave a person in a state of "dopamine pit".

This is how practicing psychologist and sexologist Alexandra Miller described the feeling of emptiness after quick infatuations.

In relationships that are not filled with warmth, the body does not fully receive happiness hormones, RIA Novosti reports.

As a result, an internal imbalance is created. The person is in a depressed state.

Miller notes that true intimacy improves emotional well-being. People are happy in sincere relationships.

Men become more reserved and attentive, women also experience less stress.

Thus, as Miller emphasizes, full-fledged relationships, unlike affairs, increase self-esteem and strengthen the immune system.
