[quote=Anonymous]I did all 3 sides of cheating early in my adult life: was cheated on, was cheated with, and cheated on someone.  When I got into a pretty serious relationship with someone I worked with who was already in a serious relationship (if they'd believed in marriage, they'd have been married for a good 6 yrs by the time we met), I realized after that was over that NONE of those situations was worth the toxicity they brought me and my life.  NONE of them.

Fast forward to now that I've been married 15 yrs, and several times during my marriage I've crossed paths with exes or one guy who I lusted after for 9 years before meeting DH and we'd always had chemistry but never connected.  I was in another city, met up with him among a larger group of good friends, and the chemistry was off the chain and he suggested I stay with him.  Probably DH would have never found out, but I didn't hestitate for even a moment, I didn't consider it for even a moment.  I immediately said "I wish this was much earlier on, when we were both single, but since I'm not (and neither are you, sexy dude I've lusted after for so long), then nothing can happen."  And that was it.  I knew it would have been a torrid, amazing night, and maybe grown into something regular... and I was absolutely not going to do it.

So I guess I learned my lesson, and maybe some people have to learn it like I did.  Then, others never learn, and still others are never tempted in the first place.

This plays out so many ways... but I agree with all the other PPs saying no one can generalize that we're all the same distance away from potentially cheating.  It simply isn't true in any given moment that we're all the same distance away (or close).[/quote]
