[quote=Anonymous]As I have gotten older (I'm over 45), I've become more sanguine on this issue.  I have several friends (both male and female) who engaged in affairs with married people.  My male friend did it because he was in a truly miserable marriage (he had moved into their basement) and was just staying in the house for the sake of his kids---he thought his wife was a lousy mother and wouldn't leave until he thought his kids would be okay alternating between residences.

My female friends both had affairs with married men when they were single women.  They weren't looking to break up marriages and they weren't interested in long-term relationships with the guys---they just genuinely liked the companionship of the guys in question.  I do not think either one of them would do it again---they are generally honorable people and were at sad and lonely points in their own lives (one had just lost a parent, the other had just gotten divorced).

So while I am sure that there are a lot of slutty, low-self esteem, selfish sorts of all types who engage in affairs (I worked with someone who was a serial cheater on his wife and completely amoral about it), I also think that basically nice people can be flawed and human as well.  [/quote]
