Dealing with infidelity means having to deal with some of the reasons why a spouse cheats on their significant other. As an example when a former president was asked in an interview why he had an extramarital affair he stated bluntly, “because I could.” He had the power and took stone cold advantage.
Whether he or anyone else that cheated on their spouse is sorry is of course open to debate. Yes some are genuinely sorry for their actions others are only sorry they got caught. Trying to sort out which is which is one of the byproducts of dealing with infidelity.
With many a cheating spouse the reason they did what they did and their reaction to getting caught has less to do with a bad marriage (although that can make cheating more likely) and more to do with their ego.
Dealing with infidelity means understanding that a person does not have to be the president of the free world to have a giant ego.
They say it is their right to cheat because of who they are or the position they maintain or that their spouse has failed them miserably in some way.
Knowing a co worker finds them attractive lets them know they have “still got it.” Sometimes they eye someone that they find attractive and make the decision they are going to go after and get what they want no matter the consequences.
In dealing with infidelity keep in mind the affair may in some way make them feel bad about their actions but the ego is telling them something totally different.
