Why are there 2 very different schools of thought on cheating?
You know, people are always quick to say things about how they think they would handle a situation. But the truth is, until they are in that situation (for example, finding out their spouse had cheated on them) they really can’t say for sure how they would react, and I imagine much of the time it would be 180 out from what they think they would do. As far as men leaving their wives for their girlfriends, it most certainly happens. That’s how my parents’ marriage broke up. My thought on that has always been: Why would you want to be with a man who you KNOW cheats? Do you think he won’t cheat on you? What about you is so special that would keep him from doing the same thing to you he’s doing to his wife? And I’ve been in your shoes too. In my 20’s I had an affair with a married man, and I knew what it was all about. I didn’t want him to leave his wife either.
