The tradegy surrounding ex-NFL quaterback Steve McNairfurther highlights the ultimate danger for any man to cheat or commit adultery on his wife. Anything and everything is liable to happen to you if you go after the "strange". You can get by for a while, but ultimateley you will not get away. No matter if you are a multimillionaire, a president, a govenor, a senator, a truck driver or whatever, it simply does not pay in the end for you to cheat. Somewhere along the way, you will trip up: you will be caught in a lie, somebody will see you, your wife will come up on some evidence and confront you or in the case of Steve McNair, you could get blown away by the other woman or by your spouse or HER spouse. What about STDs? What about 'love childs"?
The end result is always disastrous. The is a passage in Proverbs that says the adulteress will hunt for the preciouis life. Your life is precious, and it is hard to image that as you have a roving eye, YOU are the one who is being hunted down for destruction. We men are moved by what we see and lust can easily kick in. Whatever you do, don't fall for the trap! RUN if you need to. I bet if Sanford, Clinton, Edwards, Spitzer, Ensign or any number of other national figures could do it all over again, they would never touch the woman or the women who destroyed their lives, their careers, their legacies, their children. Think of the shame you would have to walk in for the rest of your life? All that for a n u t? A few hours of pleasure? I don't think so. When the commandment says T h ou shall not commit a du ltery, it was there for a reason. The One who commanded it knew what he was talking about, knew what the consequences would be and warned us not to do it. Nowadays, it seems that judgement comes quickly, so if you are thinking about it, you have been warned. If you are doing it, for heaven's sake STOP before it is too late.

But they do sadly... always have since the beginning of time, and always will. For some it is worth it, for some it isn't. All we can do is be the best we can be in our relationships... cheating is never going away and during a recession you will find that it is even worse :(

Both of these people were dumb: she for thinking he would leave his wife and kids for her, he for letting her think she was more than a piece on the side.
But it sure wasn't a shooting and killing offense.

All of us have made some mistakes, big ones, little ones, huge ones just like this. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt and the hat. That is why this post is there to warn others not to make that particular mistake. It might be very tempting, and nobody said it would be easy, but when you consider the consequences, you can choose not to do it and end the end, you will be very happy you didn't go there.

i have always said "if they will cheat with you, they will cheat on you."
i don't buy the whole "i cheated out of boredom" concept. sure, some people may cheat for that reason, but for most people, i think it's just the simple concept of not being able to avoid the temptation of something new.
i also agree with you that it doesn't always end in disaster. i actually know of at least one example where i can say that it was probably a good thing because it helped save this particular marriage, but i do think that type of case is rare. regardless, i think it is a stretch to say it always ends in disaster...i think there are a lot of possible outcomes, none of which i ever want to have to explore.
