#TJBDebates: Does Having A ‘Side Piece’ Keep Relationships Going Longer Than They Should?

A debate around side pieces in relationships has the internet split!

According to Paul, the man said his side chick encouraged him to stay with his wife, and that spending time with her made him feel happier when he went home. Still, Paul questioned whether having a side piece just keeps a dying relationship alive longer than it should be. ?

So far, reactions online are mixed. Some people agree that cheating can weirdly help sustain long-term relationships, while others argue it only delays the inevitable.
