It might be about The Thrill
My dad was happily married to my mom, too, but he cheated on her almost throughout their entire 35-year marriage (which finally ended in his death). The last 7-8 years or so, when my mom found out, were hell for her. And it wasn't exactly easy on us kids, either, though we were all adults by that point.
It wasn't about sex. It wasn't about being unhappy. It was about the thrill of doing something he knew was wrong, about bucking authority / social norms and getting away with it. It was like a drug for him.
So is this what's going on with you? Are you looking for a way to inject some borderline dangerous excitement into your life? Because there are plenty of ways to do so without jeopardizing the physical, mental, and emotional health of your entire immediate family.
