No, never cheated while in a relationship, but I know quite a few women in the same situation who who have.

The newness factor is what gets addicting about cheating. That first rush of infatuation, all those chemicals I guess released in your brain, nothing beats it. I wouldn't risk a happy marriage for it though, I don't think. I wouldn't be cheating if I would be devastated by divorce.

I wonder more about the people who feel happy in their marriage, like I do, but who crave attention from someone new. So many people insist something is wrong with your marriage if you cheat, but if what I crave is novelty, I don't see how my marriage could ever fulfill that.
