It's called projection. Folks who practice this are often critical of themselves, but instead of actually being critical of themselves, they accuse you of doing what they are doing.
Some typical definitions of Psychological Projection
# "A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept. It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."
# "Attributing one's own undesirable traits to other people or agencies."
# "The individual perceives in others the motive he denies having himself. Thus the cheat is sure that everyone else is dishonest."

Because they think that anyone is capable of being unfaithful. They don't understand that some people cannot physically commit such an act because it goes against the way their mind works.

Because, in their mind, they think you will eventually get even if there is a chance. And the worst part is. There is nothing they can say or do beside let it be or let it goes. Because they had done it first. What comes around goes around.

Because for MOST of us....revenge is sweet and one way to get back at someone who cheated on you is to cheat on them. I say its bull because if your going to cheat and keep it quiet ...whats the point? Now if you cheat to get revenge and show them a video tape of it....whoooo weeeee...THATS revenge!...

Have you ever heard the expression "The accuser is always guilty"? That is where that comes from. They cant trust themselves so they cant trust anybody, even the people that havent hurt them.

Guilty conscience. Plus, they'd think even less of themselves if they didn't believe everyone else did the same as them.

Because they think everyone is a low life like them.

Because they realize that they were capable of it, so why wouldn't you be capable of it. Also, they probably think that you're going to do it just to get back at them.
