[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are three kinds of people: 1) those whose marriage vows mean nothing and still try to get laid as if they are single.  2) those who intend to honor their vows but are human and  if they are sexually or emotionally abandoned by their spouse, will be vulnerable to cheating; and 3) those who see cheating as the most deadly sin and would rather divorce than even consider it as an option to stay married and sane.

Most people are in category #2.  You should assume that if you treat your spouse poorly they have the potential to stray.  Category 1 people are out there but are rare, and they will never change.[/quote]

Yes. This. Exactly.[/quote]

You may be forgetting category number four. When the cheating spouse does so in order to assert dominance over the non-cheating spouse, regardless of the non-cheating spouse's physical and emotional availability. Some cheaters just need to feel they have the upper hand, often demonstrated when the non-cheating spouse has great successes, whether professionally or otherwise.  The cheater may do so to protect his or her ego, out of insecurity, or simply as a matter of aggression. I don't think this falls into category one, because a cheater may become a cheater overtime based on his or her own emotional or other issues. I don't think it necessarily means they never had respect for their valves, just that the impulse to gain or maintain control is stronger.[/quote]
