Affairs happen when your not 100% happy or you feel like something is missing you might not realise it at the time.
I don't think anyone can say they never would because you just don't know.
I have never had one nor could I imagine ever having one on my husband but that is just based on me being totally happy and content with my life. I would like to think if I wasn't happy we could talk it out and if not go our separate ways without tearing strips Out of each other.
I do understand why they happen it's just sad it has to come to that x
I have, before I got married, with an ex. The relationship itself had been over for years, but I had no ability to leave for financial and support reasons.
I can categorically say I would never do it again - the things I lost in the process weren't worth the waiting to tell my ex we were over. The worst thing I found with it was that it steals your trust in your fellow humans. Once you've lied/hid cheating, especially successfully it makes you think that actually, if
you can lie and cheat then any other human around you can to. It steals your peace of mind.
That's my biggest regret, that it caused me to lose faith in people on that level. I wish I'd had the strength to do things in the right order, it wasn't even two weeks mind you!
I would never cheat on my husband, I do my upmost to uphold my vows I made on my wedding day. I would never put him through that and I would never do that to myself again.
It is sad, but I think affairs tend to come from a point in a relationship where there is a lack of communication and feeling connected, a breakdown of that in the face of a friendship with someone else that is still communicative.
