So Guinevere, if you don't mind me asking, what are your reasons for staying in your marriage? And what are your thoughts on love - love in your marriage (since you've already stated you don't want to invest yourself too much in your other relationships, I'm guessing you're not exactly looking for "love" there, yes)?
Daoust - do you think it could be attractive to you because it is Forbidden? If, in a fantasy world, it wasn't forbidden to you, is it still attractive?
I always thought that if one's needs were being met in one's current relationship, the urge to cheat simply wouldn't come up. Or perhaps, in reverse, the thought of cheating comes up if one is unhappy, unsatisfied?
But now I think perhaps that's too one-dimensional. Probably there are as many different reasons "why" as there are individuals, and I don't know if it's possible to say, "It always boils down to this one thing...XXX", despite humans attempts to define, catalog, etc.
