[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a female cheater. My DH hasn't found out, and my life hasn't crumbled. But there are risks:

- You can develop feelings for the OW.  You know it's not going to end well - either you'll divorce your wife or the affair will eventually end - either way you could end up with a broken heart if you fall for her. There is no "happily ever after" for affairs.

-OW could develop feelings for you. She could tell your wife, or threaten to. Or she could just get so needy that you're miserable.

- Being single, she might not be as careful to avoid getting caught. If you're going to cheat, do it with someone who has as much incentive as you to keep it secret.

- The constant lying and guilt can be tiresome. Keep track of what you've told your wife, she will pick up on inconsistencies in your story.

- Having an affair gives you enough of an "outlet" that you stop working on your marriage. The marriage goes further downhill, you turn more in to the affair, and it spirals down from there. It's a vicious cycle.

The last of these, combined with fear of getting caught and making my kids grow up in a broken home, is why I ended my last affair (and haven't started another). Started focusing on getting the spice back into my marriage instead, and I'm much happier now.[/quote]

You are a scumbag.[/quote]
