Most people don't cheat because they are cheaters.
They cheat because they are people. They are driven by hunger or for the experience of someone being hungry once more for them. They find themselves in friendships that take an unintended turn or they seek them out because they're horny or drunk or damaged from all the stuff they didn't get when they were kids.
There is love. There is Lust.
There is opportunity.
There is alcohol.And youth. And middle age.
There is loneliness and boredom and sorrow and weakness and self destruction and idiocy and arrogance and romance and ego and nostalgia and power and need.
There is the compelling temptation of intimacies with someone other than the person with whom one is most intimate.
Which is a complicated way of saying it's a long damn life.
And people get mucked up in it from time to time.
Even the people you marry.
Even Us.
And sometimes, even years later...penning down about it ends with a flick of a tear .
