I want to know what YOU think about THAT. Do you believe that it could be somewhat of a thrill? Kind of like running away from a neighbor's property after you did something bad to his house? Adrenaline Rush? Did you ever experience these things, and if so, did you like them?

I think the cheater would feel a thrill by getting away with an affair and not getting caught.I think this could cause an adrenaline rush and the adrenaline rush could be the thrill that a cheater would feel.I think you could compare it with doing something bad that is taboo and getting away with it,knowing that they have done something wrong and don't want that person to find out that they did it.I experienced the thrill of stealing from stores when I was young and it was a thrill,it was fun at that time.I did something and got away with it.I think it is kinda comparable to cheating. I don't do it now because I know better and would never repeat it again.

That is because you are mature, and you have realized that certain actions come with consequences, and they have certain effects on people. However, some people don't end up going through the process of understanding this matter, and therefore feel no remorse in doing this; after all, they're not really deliberately hurting their loved one, simply thrilling themselves with having someone else on the side. Not to mention this also boosts their self-confidence. They don't really feel they are doing something bad, it's just like getting on a roller coaster, and their friends telling them: "Hey man, you're crazy! that's not cool! that thing looks dangerous!" very similar to: "Hey man.. that's not cool. You're hurting the love of your life. you need to tell her." It may seem extreme, but I sincerely believe this is the truth. I hope I have answered your question :)

Cheaters hardly ever change and most of the time keep on cheating and breaking hearts.I don't think they have ever developed a conscience.I think that if they had a conscience that they would realise that cheating was wrong and they would stop doing it.So since it is so easy for them to do and not think there's anything wrong with it, then maybe part of the reason for doing it besides it being a thrill might also be because they lack a conscience.
