a previous lover cheated on me for literally years... and part of her choosing to do this was the rush she felt "getting away with it"... it took time, and even therapy, for her to begin to understand that her idealized relationship was not real. she didnt have to live with him. didnt have to work around his failings. they could just focus on each other when they wanted to and usually the focus was sexual.
to this day, i wouldnt trust that shes over that "rush" of cheating. i found writings from before me that showed she had done the same before with another love... cheated on him and found a great thrill in the secret, even when it tormented her.
