Here's an article I came across by Mary Schneider in Thestar newspaper on the 17 reasons people use when they cheat. *grins*
- Break out into selfhood (so you can be and express yourself – painting might also help).
- Accidental (crashing into a tree is usually accidental, or breaking a glass, but never sex. Unless, of course, you get so drunk that you can’t tell the difference between your partner and your next-door neighbour).
- Sexual panic (to prove that you are still sexually capable – as if you can’t prove that with your partner).
- Let’s kill this relationship (and see if it comes back to life).
- Mid-marriage crisis (will add sparkle to a stale or problematic marriage).
- Trading up (when you’ve “moved on” but your spouse hasn’t – note: spouses should not be upgraded like cars or houses).
- Heating up your marriage (the fear of being found out will add more spice to your marriage).
- I just needed to indulge myself (shades of Bill Clinton).
- Ejector seat (either your spouse will kick you out or your lover will give you the courage to quit).
- See if (see if what you’ve been missing in your marriage can be found elsewhere).
- Distraction (will make you forget life’s difficulties – a game of Monopoly or a glass of wine might also do the trick).
- Surrogate therapy (will help you overcome feelings of inadequacy, frustration, etc – a shrink might also help).
- Do I still have it? (sounds like sexual panic).
- Having an experience I missed out on (there’s always bungee jumping, or origami, or trekking in Nepal to consider).
- Revenge (creepy).
- Midlife crisis (sounds like sexual panic again).
- Unmet needs (what happened to unmet commitments?).
