Often though, when you are neglected, you feel as if you are not worthy of being treated with respect. You wouldn't necessarily have the self-esteem to challenge your feelings of neglect... the acceptance of another (cheating) says that you are worthy of respect, you are worth something to someone.

As you have pointed out, the problems you fix by cheating creates a different one altogether... the compromise of your self respect and honour. Analog, you obviously retained your self respect in your situation, kudos to you

To regain your self-esteem at the expense of your self respect is a "false" fix. That was my point.
