[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it would take a good marriage and bring it to a very low place from which it would probably would never recover. Also, why would I want to risk getting an STD and passing it on to someone. And please, spare me the "everyone has herpes, no big deal" line.[/quote]

This is probably the closest to my answer, although a lot of the answers resonate with me.

I value my marriage.  Even if I'm not always satisfied physically or emotionally (although I often am... it waxes and wanes), going outside it has serious consequences and deleterious effects, whether or not I am caught.

I guess I don't cheat for the same reason I don't use cocaine (and have never tried it).  I'm sure it is an absolute blast, but long term, I view it as an unwise decision, and one with negative impacts for my personal, emotional, psychological, social, and financial health.

A lot of those are selfish, but I think it's important to be pragmatic about these things.  Selfish instincts and ones related to self-preservation are often the strongest.[/quote]
