[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, it's one of two reasons:

1) They're interested in some low-commitment sex, they're getting it, the other person's marriage isn't their problem, so it works for them. 
2) They have low self esteem. They feel that this person is the best they can do, they might even feel "lucky" that they got someone "this good" even though in reality - these men are not good, and they are basically by definition, being cheated on as well (presumably these men are also still sleeping with their wives, at least on occasion). If you're listening to her "vent" (ie, she's not content with the arrangement) it's more likely this option.

And, self esteem problems, generally, don't actually correlate to how "good" a person is. You can't "successful career and pretty" your way out of a self-esteem problem, just as people who are objectively not super attractive and don't have great jobs can still have fine self-esteem. It's more complex than that. Because true self-esteem arrives from a position of believing in your [I]inherent[/I] worth - it's not "earned" through living well. [/quote]

Ooo, I forgot one!!

3) The "thrill" of doing something "bad" - generally more of a rebellious phase than anything else. [/quote]
