Both men and women want to cheat. Humans want to cheat. But it’s fighting that temptation to do so that defines you. It’s what separates you from being a great partner and a piece of shit.

For example, every time somebody irritates me, I want to punch them in the face. It’s a temptation. Yet, I have never acted upon it and struck someone.  The temptation to hurt a person has never been so great (yet) that it needed to illicit that response.  If I literally did punch everyone who pisses me off, I become the bigger asshole and a society cancer.

It’s similar in a relationship.  We are all tempted at times. Don’t be a cancer to your relationship.  Don’t be an asshole. Put the dick down and remember what a great thing you have going for you…and what a great person you could be if you just restrain yourself.
