Why does a cheater wants to solve things when caught?

Some cheaters that get caught are suddenly so desparate in working things out and are remorseful. Why couldn't they repair their relationship or marriage before cheating? Or if they cheated but truly felt bad and wanted to work it out, why not confess... why keep doing it over and over until caught.

Similar to your health. Why should it take having high cholesterol or prediabetes to drink more water, avoid sodas and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. That should have been done from the start.
