this is a very good question and I admire your intuitiveness but believe it or not! my wife and I said the same thing and due to allowing the world (satan) to have control over our lives instead of god it happened. I don't think we intentionally planned to hurt each othewr but we fell into the worldly trap, believing others and relying on human beings instead of our saviour. First it was me then it was her to gain revenge and hurt me equally. the consequnces were obvious. brokenness and both of us are the losers from this situation because we have lost each other and what god had intended. How ever I live by faith and not by sight so there is always hope and a new day just as there is today.

When my ex-husband cheated on me it shattered our marriage and my life. I used to tell people that he wasn't the greatest guy on the planet, but he didn't smoke, drink, use drugs or cheat on me. I would have forgiven anything but that.
I'm with a man now who believes as I do. Marriage is a promise to be faithful. If you feel the need for someone else, get out of the marriage first. To have a cheating spouse is so extraordinarly painful that I can't see how any marriage could survive it.

What makes you assume that people cannot be faithful in a marriage?
I know of plenty of marriages, young and old, that have never experienced infidelity. I think that people on here like to focus on the negative, so that's why there are always so many questions about cheating. No one's going to come on here and ask, "My marriage is so happy, what should I do?"

I often ask myself this same question. I can not think of any situation that I would cheat on my husband, but he cannot say the same. Experts say that it is because the person who cheats are missing something in the marriage- it may be sexual, communication or any number of things. But there are just people out there that think they need more then one person to make them happy. I believe that if you are married then that is the person you have chosen to be with for the rest of your life. There is no cheating and no divorce. You have to work on marriage everyday and it takes two to make it work.

It is different for everyone. Some people say they aren't getting enough sex, others say my husband or wife cheated so can I, not knowing how to commit to just one person, other people say I love my spouse, but I am not in love with them, others don't want a divorce, but they want someone new. There are alot of bs answers. I hate every single one of them. I hate divorce. I believe that it is the last thing that should be on your mind, but if people feel that they are that un happy they should do both themselves and their spouse a favor and get a divorce. Both people deserve to love and be loved. And I agree I wouldn't cheat.

i never cheated on my spouse, but he did me. he had no relationship skills to work out problems,i couldn't talk to this man about anything that he didn't turn it around and i became the focus of the problem. cheating begins with a thought, what's inside a person.our thinking determines our actions. when we aren't happy with our marriages and we seek council, depends on who we are listening to, are we listening to the word of god, or other's who are giving us bad advice.sometimes i think it is caused by laziness of just not wanting to put any efforet into working it out, it's so much easier for some to just go out and start new with someone else, but mostly i believe cheaters don't love anyone but theirselves, and when they can't use you anymore, or there is no more to get off you, as with my marriage,they just move on where they believe it's greener pastures.

I would never cheat on my husband. I know how bad that hurts as my first husband cheated. There is no reason to cheat. If you are unhappy with your mate then leave. It is easier on all.

They choose to be emotionally lazy and are not willing to believe that for love to stay alive you give. Our society is made up of instant needs gratification and what's in it for me....only, yes it takes a selfish, self centered, low self-esteem with little sense of what 'strength of character' is and a complete disregard for their chosen partner's well being in every way. Having an affair is a concious choice to sabatoge their current relationship for personal vendictive gain (in their eyes, due to their low self esteem). They can be exclusive...to themselves only.
