[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They weren’t raised right.  Somewhere along the line they learned this could be an option.  Weak character with poor morals.  Lying and going behind someone’s back.

I know cheaters like to say “oh you don’t know, everyone’s capable of it, blah, blah, blah”, but that is just false.  I have had every opportunity under the sun to cheat.  I have been cheated on—and not once did I ever consider doing it.  To the point, I’ve removed myself from a situation, declined an invitation, cut off or pulled back when it felt like an opposite sex friendship was getting too “friendly”.  In one instance, I thought of the wife and made a point to see it through her eyes.

This isn’t self-righteous.  It’s just a fact.  Some of us have an honesty and integrity that even if we are unhappy in a relationship or not having needs met we wouldn’t resort to cheating. Ever. Period.[/quote]

Agree.  I’m the kind of person that could not live with myself if I cheated.  It would eat me up inside.  That’s why I don’t even find it an option or even appealing.  Marriage to me is- I’m all in for life.  23 years later with rough patches and iOS and downs- this just wasn’t even on the table.  I dealt with those things in an honest manner.  I find comfort in other things, went to therapy, etc.  I didn’t open my legs and run into someone else’s arms or get online to start chatting up randos.  [/quote]
