Cheating takes a lot of work to pull off...it's like have a third job.
There's only 1 thing a guy should know before he cheats... eventually his spouse will figure it out. The guy will behave differently toward his wife and he won't be able to cover up all the clues to his indiscretion.
sadly, that's not always the case. A lot of people like to believe that but I've seen people do that sort of thing for years without repercussion, and the guys' wives werent stupid women either.
It may have been without repercussions because the wives didn't want to let on that they knew. Some people don't want to "rock the boat". They may actually have been satisfied with the way things were going. Some women enjoy getting the "guilt gifts" the occassionally come from a cheating husband and only raise a stink if it looks like the husband will actually leave them.
That's actually sicker than the actual cheating.

The guy will behave differently toward his wife and he won't be able to cover up all the clues to his indiscretion. The big question is what does his wife place her values on, his honesty, his money or the "stability" of their marriage. I know of three guys who cheated on their wives, the wives found out, in the first two cases the wives forgave their husbands (but let them know they had been caught and it wouldn't be tolerated if it happened again), in the third it ended in a divorce.
Well, it's a lot of hard work. I make the joke, that I'm too lazy to cheat. Different credit cards, cleaning out your cell phone or explaining why you have 2 phone. It ain't high school or college.this is why you must be two steps ahead of your wife.
Bah, in a non marriage non child based relationship, there is absolutely nothing to lose from cheating.
And it's very easy to not get caught if you have a clear head on your shoulders. Those who do get caught deserve to get caught.
If you do get caught, pass the buck as there is obviously something wrong in the relationship and there are some wants your partner is not getting from you.
Don't be afraid to be a dog, the dust pretty much always settles.
I say this because the majority of people probably invest more in a relationship than i do.
I'll openly say that if i'm with someone it doesn't mean i wont stray if there are problems within the relationship and i expect the same from her as well, there's no point just being with someone for the sake of it.
also intoxication has been ruled out as a justified means of getting away with cheating.
I don't know why i'm saying this, i've never cheated (technically)a nd never intend to.
but if i did i would get caught...
Even if you're not married and there are no children, it's still a relationship. If you don't want the relationship anymore, terminate it honestly and then form another.

Trust me, these women "wear the pants" in those relationships, and would sooner separate guys from their "members" or be rich ex-wives than to choke it down.
I used to do family law which involved a lot of divorce work, and the most common thing you'd hear from the aggreived women, who in a lot of cases were intelligent professionals, was "how could I not know?" That was also the thing that seemingly made them the maddest. It's not as easy to know as you would think it would be.
