For me, I would never cheat. Even if the urge was strong and present, I would be upfront and let the other person know that it was over, and only then act on it. Sometimes it's just a crush, or a sign that something is wrong in your current relationship, an escpae, a no-strings tied thing. Personally I have never felt the kind of closeness with someone else that would even remotely bring me to consider cheating on the person I am with at the time. I have been cheated on and I think there is no excuse for it. Even so, at the time I was weak and didn't break it off. Things deteriorated rapidly from there, and now I see that to cheat or be cheated on is the worst betrayal...trust is broken, and the wound never fully heals. I would never do it.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
