Why do people really think they cheat?

[samanthashows 0]

I know you all probably think I am a shit for telling you all this but I don't hide the fact that I was the bad guy in the relationship here and I am just thankful everyday for getting a chance to be with him again. I do regret what I have done and I know that doesn't take the pain away. I can't change the past, I can only change the future and I am doing just that.

I'm not sure if I understand your question.

I'm now divorced. (Trust is like the soul. Once departed, it never returns.)

I'm a weekend dad, and I take both kids, now aged 9 and 5. Both call me Dad, but Shanna has never been lied to. She knows she has 2 Dad's, 3 Grannies, 3 Gandpa's. Her Dad has not seen her since her 1st Birthday, and has never paid maintenance for her.

I don't think the desision of paying maintenance was a particularly "noble" act, as if I'd failed to do so, the standard of living of my own daughter would have diminished, although that motivation has long ceased to exist.

I love them both, but have no rights to one. Non whatsoever. I worry about what would happen to them in the event of my ex wife's death. I'd get Caleigh, and would want Shanna too, but I don't know what the courts whould think of that.

When I thought about it, I could see the reasons my ex screwwed around. I was (and still am) always at the DZ. It's never the child's fault though.

I was there at the birth of both of them, so I guess I've always been there. Shanna just called me what her sister does. Like I said, she knows about her real dad. (Duncan) She asks why she never sees him, and all I can say is "he's probably just really busy, you know?" She needs to know her real Dad. She needs to know she is loved and that she belongs somewhere, and that the love for her is unconditional. He can't do that right now.

Many reasons already posted...................I particularly agree with one being weak. There are those out there who have done so out of being extremely insecure about themselves............and validation is needed by someone other than their SO's. As bad as cheating, maybe worse, are those who lie their fucking ass's off after having been caught as not to lose their SO or to "tarnish" their warped sense of their reputation...........
