I learned about the slippery slope of cheating
My parent’s marriage saw a lot of infidelity on my dad’s part. I watched how a small flirtation could get out of hand rapidly, and how it ultimately made you feel more and more distant from your partner. Do I sometimes find other men appealing? Sure. But I keep my interactions with them in check. I put up walls that make it clear I am not open to anything inappropriate. You have to guard your relationship—nobody else will do it for you.
