[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much navel-gazing and armchair therapy around a very simple answer to the OP's question: they do it because it feels good.  Same reason as people take drugs or make other doubtful choices.  It feels good in the moment.  That's all.[/quote]

Obviously but there is much more to it than that. Exercise, eating donuts, wearing makeup, smoking when you’re addicted, looking at pretty architecture, etc. all make you feel good, but the motivations for choosing the action that makes you feel good differ. I would say that making the choice to remain faithful to your spouse even when it’s hard feels really good too. [/quote]

I'm sure shooting heroin would feel good too. I'm not going to blow up my life. Some of these people get addicted to the rush and do it over and over again.[/quote]

The rush 
The insecurity
The familiarity of betrayal 
The fear of change 
The ego
The craving
The entitlement 
The guilt 
The power
The pleasure 
The anger

So many motivations amirite? To what end?
