I agree, but some young people seem to find a new love every year or two. It's just part and parcel of impetuous youthful behavior. Been there, done that. But if someone is in their mid-thirties and still playing the cheating game, it's probably a pretty firmly established part of their personality.

Hope does spring eternal, and if we find a person to be interesting and/or attractive we all really want to believe that somehow we will be the caboose on the end of the cheatin' train, not just another car in the middle. Although people certainly can and do change, the best predictor that we have of future behavior is . . . . past behavior.
