Comments on: John Edwards: What do you call a man like that? http://www.chestnuthillinstitute.com/blog/72 w h e n y o u ' r e r e a d y t o m a k e r e a l c h a n g e s Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:29:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Mrs. Anonymous http://www.chestnuthillinstitute.com/blog/72#comment-1319 Mrs. Anonymous Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:55:19 +0000 http://www.chestnuthillinstitute.com/blog/72#comment-1319 Thank you for this piece. Affairs do happen to good people. Affairs happen despite how much people in a relationship love one another. Affairs happen even when one is happy and has no desire to leave. I thought once my resolve was greater than my humanity. I was wrong. You list the 17 reasons people cheat. I have not read the book yet, so I have little to guide me. I'm young, I'm fairly attractive, I have everything, including a husband who loves and inspires me and whom I love. It wasn't so much about escaping or rebelling or wanting to end my marriage or a need to indulge myself because I was working so hard or that I felt there were things I had missed out on. But it wasn't an accident, either. I have never in my life analyzed any process or planned anything as I did this once it began. The amount of premeditation that went into it before its execution, put to better use in the field of science may have truly served humanity. I don't know why I did it. And I don't regret it, either. It's over now--the risk is never reasonable, but it is borne better while flying high on excitement. When the excitement goes, so does any illusion that there are any benefits to such incredible undertaking in deception. Now everything is the same as it was before it began. Thank you for this piece.

You list the 17 reasons people cheat. I have not read the book yet, so I have little to guide me. I’m young, I’m fairly attractive, I have everything, including a husband who loves and inspires me and whom I love. It wasn’t so much about escaping or rebelling or wanting to end my marriage or a need to indulge myself because I was working so hard or that I felt there were things I had missed out on.

But it wasn’t an accident, either. I have never in my life analyzed any process or planned anything as I did this once it began. The amount of premeditation that went into it before its execution, put to better use in the field of science may have truly served humanity. I don’t know why I did it. And I don’t regret it, either.

It’s over now–the risk is never reasonable, but it is borne better while flying high on excitement. When the excitement goes, so does any illusion that there are any benefits to such incredible undertaking in deception. Now everything is the same as it was before it began.

You are the only professional I feel that REALLY understands what is happening. I have read the 17 reasons people have affairs. My exhusband had affairs on me. I have so much to say I thought of writing a book myself. I was with my ex for 15 years. I am 37 now. I was living under a rock before and now look at reality head on. It has opened my eyes up to everything that tales place in society: affairs, swinging, porn, fantasies, etc. etc. I believe I have a very unique perspective on relationships now, whether it is men or women, single or married. I din't end my marriage due to the affair. We had broken it down and realized where our diferences were coming from. Two different people and we never had a chance from the start for companionship. We were young and didn't know ourselves when we met. I think I have very valuable opinions and information that could help a LOT of people. Cheryl Mira,
