Have you ever cheated on your spouse and what were the repercussions? Did it lead to a relationship and/or divorce?

I will say that I did think about cheating on my wife, and I even tried to pursue this on the web. I never went through with it though because I could never find anyone do to do anything with to cheat on my wife. But primarily, my wife did find out, I confessed to her that I was not happy, and I knew she wasn't happy either, and that it would be best for us to go our seperate ways. Even though I did seek out to cheat, I never went through with the physical act of cheating. Mentally and emotionally, I was cheating in my heart and mind, and that was enough for me to consider it cheating as well as my wife. I know it may not be much, but in the end, I'm glad I never went through with the physical act of it in the end. Now, my wife and I are separated, and the divorce will most likely go through. There are times I find myself sad, hurt, angry, and oddly enough, I'm starting to become happy a bit. The thing that makes it the hardest is leaving my kids and how it will effect them the most. I find myself being torn up over it every day. I would advise you that if you are not happy, and are thinking of cheating, DON'T. It's best to tell your spouse how you are feeling and communicate that you are NOT happy. It might lead to divorce, it might lead to separation, it might even lead to marital counseling and maybe even a stronger marriage than before. But if you don't communicate it to your spouse and you do get caught, all it will end up doing is leading to bad mojo all around. Just my .10 cents, the first .02 cents are free...

Yes I have and it ended in divorce. But that's OK because my husband was into his work and never around. I cheated on him with 5 different guys over a 3 year period and I have no regrets.

No I have never cheated on my partner. We have talked about this, and this is a dealbreaker. If I wanted to be with someone else I see no point in staying with my partner. I'd end this relationship before getting into another

I have never cheated on my husband. It is just not the right thing to do. I have been tempted but I never actually did it. My marriage is not perfect but my husband is a good man and I can't see doing that to him. The best thing to do is get out of a relationship if you are unhappy before you get into another one. There is just no excuse to actually cheat. It will have repercussions for the rest of your life.
