That's like asking what possesses people to commit suicide...there are many different reasons, all of them selfish, all of them wrong :verysad

SIN, and a belief that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Of course, there are those who are so sex crazy that they can't be satisfied--like my sister's husband, my first wife, and like one of my brothers, his wife, and several other women I've known.

Jon Marc, I disagree about that...I think people who are "so sex-crazy that they can't be satisfied" are in truth not exercising self control and are just plain ol' selfish. It's like people who say, "oh I can't help it that I drink two 2-liters of Dr. Pepper a day"....yes you can, it's called self restraint. Agree?

The spouse in question most likely fails to fulfill the needs of the adulterer, so he/she finds Salomone else to fulfill those needs.

I disagree shamwow. There are people out there who enjoy/are addicted to cheating. Even if their partner is fulfilling their needs, they seek a different person. Even if their partner is treating them well and being loyal, they choose to be unfaithful. People who cheat on their partners are selfish, impulsive, liars.

I'd like to add to that: insecure and empty. They are constantly seeking to fill that void in their lives most often left by an unfulfilling childhood. My ex is this way. He is constantly trying to fill his life with things and women. For instance, he doesn't just have one car, he has four. He doesn't have one TV, he has three. He doesn't just have one girlfriend, he has several. He's all about money and bling and women. But I will say this for him: he works hard for what he has. But that's irrelevant.

Yes, JoJo (cute name, btw)
Love not the world, neither the things that are of the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
John 2:15-16
