I can't post this on the wayward board because it will smack of being insulting. I sincerely don't mean it to be insulting. I really want to know some information.
I have a hypothesis that people generally act in accordance with internal moral guidelines and rules. I was brought up Catholic, which might have something to do with it.
Here's my question. Why would the affair partner pursue someone else's spouse, knowing full well that the spouse is married? I mean, they know that there will certainly be enormous pain when the other spouse finds out. Assuming for a moment that the wife in a heterosexual marriage is the wandering spouse, the affair partner may also be taking his life in his hands. Is that it, the thrill, like skydiving? How does the affair partner morally or ethically justify his or her actions to the face in the mirror?
