Or they are cheating themselves.

Show me a cheater and I will show you someone with low self-esteem. Not only did they not respect you they have no respect for themselves. And by definition ALL cheaters are narcissists. Once you wrap your head around that why in the world would anyone take back someone who cheated on them? Add in all trust being lost and that is a miserable existence.

This isn't really true. People cheat for tons of reasons. They are all poor justifications for it, but its not just "they have low self-esteem".

I always thought I would cheat if put in the perfect situation for a one off.
Truth is, I've had those chances and never have done it.
Turns out my feelings toward my spouse is much stronger then any primal urge.

If you thought you'd cheat given the perfect situation, why'd you put yourself in those situations to test it?

People gotta figure out who they're with. I could smell a cheater a mile away, and I've never done it even in high school. Just break it off, don't be a scumbag.

I'm not talking hall pass, it doesn't even have to be someone famous, if the person is hot enough, men and women will cheat

no clue - if mine cheated she would be gone with the quickness

You think people with high self-esteem cheat? There is no way people who think well of themselves go around cheating. Show me a cheater and I will show you a scumbag. Now, narcissists who by nature have an inflated sense of self-esteem absolutely are more prone to cheating.

I'm at the age where if I was presented with the time and opportunity to cheat on my wife, I'd get some beer and go fishing.

Shitty people maybe. But not everyone.

I never will understand the “revenge affair” angle.
If you’re SO cheats on you, whatever you think of them at that time…you become that as soon as you decide to cheat on them. Stupid game. Stupid prize.
If your SO cheats on you, leave them, or stay married and honor your vows. Pick one.

10000000000%. There are people who think so highly of themselves that not only do they cheat because of it, they think that its justified and that they can and should be able to do it.

Ok, I edited my post before I read this one and this I absolutely agree with, we are on the same page here.

Yes but I'd divorce her on account of her affair first. No need to go out and have a revenge affair while still married and risk losing half of everything.

Not everyone but the vast majority will, it's why so much cheating happens at bachelor/bachelorettes or men with nannies/women with their trainers

As I'm sure many of us have. It's always tempting, but a single moment of clarity will tell you it's never worth it. The fallout derails the lives so many people. The spouses, children, parents, friends, etc. I've lost numerous friends over them having affairs and it's usually the friend who won't talk to me because they're ashamed. I've never hear anyone say having an affair was a good idea.

I've got a buddy who is a professor at UT now. Went to a game with him recently and saw some of his students on campus..he is definitely going to end up having an affair with a student and I got the vibe that it was already in progress with one. Just makes me really question how much I can trust him if he is willing to step out on his wife like that.

Oh, that adds a whole different layer to it when you bring in students even if they are in college, IMO.
Don't let it be the guy that lets his students dance for finals, I don't want him to get in trouble. I like him.
