[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never understood the emotional and intellectual circumstances that compel someone to have sex with someone who is not their significant other. The part I particularly don't understand is that they obviously know that sex outside of their relationship is not ok. They know it would mean the death of their relationship or in the least create significant problems for the foreseeable future. They know the lying and sneaking and betrayal will crush and devastated their partner.

Then...why do they do it? If they are out of love with their significant other, why do they not just end the relationship or take steps to do it? Then they can freely go and find someone else.

It surprises me that this is even a question. The answer is obvious in most cases...the marriage is dead. They don't really care that much. Divorce is inconvenient. If they get caught, many do not care that much and are in marriage where the spouse would look the other way due to image, money, etc. Some people are just stupid but I think most people do it when they no longer care that much about the marriage but divorce seems too difficult. So, they cheat because the marriage is not great anyway and they are too scared or concerned about image to make changes that come with divorce.[/quote]
