I don't understand how or why people cheat. If you want to go be intimate with someone else, break up, separate, or get a divorce. Or discuss having an open relationship.

And yes, it is "just that easy," no matter your circumstances. It's not complicated at all. There's never any reason to cheat. [/quote]

The fallacy with this argument is it assumes you don't want to be with your spouse or that you want to be with someone else always. I would imagine when most people cheat it's because they just briefly want to experience something new and exciting again. Speaking personally, I have no intention of ever cheating but if I did, it would be for that reason and not even a reflection on my spouse whom I would NOT want to leave. It wouldn't be done out of anger or malice or resentment toward my spouse, it would simply be because the temptation of having one of those long forgotten wild nights of sec with someone to don't already know every inch of would just be too good to pass up. No way would I need my marriage and implode my family over it! But again, I would never do it because I know how it would devastate my spouse if they were to find out. [/quote]

Yes, exactly.   DH and I are in an unhappy marriage.  But, we get along "okay" and have zero intention of splitting up, at least not for the next 10 years while the kids are home.  I have intimate (although mostly not sexual) relationships elsewhere, which makes up in some part for the lack of intimacy in the marriage.  I would not care at all if he did the same, but we would never discuss or agree outright upon an open marriage.   We are very good at pretending.[/quote]
