Search Results: casual relationship encounter

My biases: I have never cheated on anyone. I have had a wife cheat on me. I consider cheating to be the worst thing you could ever do to a partner without inflicting physical injury or death.

If you want to have sex with a multitude of partners, I would not condone your decision but that is not my business. Go out and screw half the women in the county; I don't care! But why would you complicate your life by getting married, living with someone, or telling someone that you are exclusive if you want to have frequent and casual sexual encounters?

I have contemplated this question over the years - especially when it happened to me - and it occurred to me that perhaps cheaters are unhappy in a relationship, they don't really know why they are unhappy, they convince themselves that they are unhappy because of their spouse/partner, so they go searching for someone who will make them happy. If you are depressed, I don't think that problem gets solved by having the right person in your life, but. . . many of us look for happiness in all the wrong places.

Have you ever cheated? If so, did you do so because you were unhappy? Did you find someone else who made you happy? Did you stop cheating when you found the right person?
