I'll keep the thread going.

I've had opportunities to cheat plenty of times over the 22 years of my marriage, and I'm proud to say I've never taken a single one of them. Sure, when you're going through a particularly rough patch marriage-wise, it's easy to think about it, but acting on the idea is a whole different thing. I never could. I love my husband too much, and frankly the idea of sex with someone else is downright scary.

Back to what some earlier posters said. I don't think cheating is about sex or about honesty. I think it's often more than anything about self-esteem. Guys who cheat often have shaky enough self-esteem that they have to boost it with some tart on the side. And women with shaky self confidence sometimes try to boost that confidence with six or so inches of someone else's boyfriend or husband--or with just a single guy. Single women who like to cheat with other people's boyfriends or husbands usually feel lower than anyone else. If they really liked or respected themselves, they'd feel they deserved an actual full-time husband or relationship of their own.

I've volunteered for many years in our local women's shelter and been a part of thousands of lay counseling sessions. This self-esteem-cheating thing gets covered over and over again with those ladies, who're often the victims of cheating as well as domestic violence.
