[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is for men and women. If you cheated on your spouse, why? Were you no longer attracted to your spouse? Wanted to see what else is out there? Unhappy marriage? What was your reason?[/quote]

I thought it was my H's job to make me happy. So when I wasn't happy, I blamed him and looked for someone else to make me happy. After a lot of introspection, I finally realized that the only person who can make me happy is myself. Everyone else either enhances that happiness or not. I also realized that I should not pursue my own happiness at the expense of someone else's.

There were also other reasons...my self-esteem sucked, I was both selfish and self-centered...but above is the main reason I see now why I pursued the A. It was the worst, most hurtful choice I've ever made and I wish I could have made a different decision. Unfortunately there is no do-overs in life so I work hard each day to change my coping skills and thinking so that I would never believe that kind of choice was okay again.
