Question Concerning Wayward Justifications while Cheating
Nearly everyone believes that cheating on their significant other (SO) is wrong. How does a Wayward Partner look at themselves in the mirror while they are actively cheating on their partner and still see themselves as a "good person?"
This question may have been asked and answered, but I'm genuinely curious how this works in the mind of a WP. Personally, I am motivated more by how I view myself than any other factor - which is a large reason why I have never cheated on my wife (and have no plans to cheat). I simply could not see myself as "good" if I were to cheat. I realize others are motivated by other factors. I am not trying to shame anyone or cause anyone further pain - I'm just trying to understand the psychology behind this.
