In my view, there are as many different reasons to cheat as there are cheaters. It's not so simplistic. For me, my depression would make me LESS likely to cheat because I don't go out, I don't socialize anymore, I quit social drinking, I've lost interest in most things, etc. I don't feel like connecting with anyone, even established friends. I have zero sexual desire too, and have chronic pain. Therefore, given all this, it would be a near impossibility to cheat (aside from the fact I have no interest in doing so).

Maybe, maybe not - the "reason(s)" for cheating are vast.

Cheating has no place in a marriage.

I am sorry about this.

Also if your husband has affairs when he is depressed, does he all of a sudden "perk up" for the other woman? While you get the depressed part of him to deal with?

Im with djcbrit.. I could never find myself in that position at this point.. lmao.. I said position.. But seriously.. With chronic pain and depression its hard enough just taking care of myself..

I hope if you separate he finds reasons to get better.. He and only he can help to get his self back to his self..

he finally went to the doctor today. The doctor tested his thyroid and put him on lexapro. I hope it helps. We will be separating soon. In spite of all he put me through, i want him to be healthy and happy. I've loved him for 26 years. Can't just turn it off, but we will go our separate ways.

I do believe that mental disorders can lead to all kinds of antisocial, criminal, and unethical behavior. But good for you for not letting yourself be victimized. Cheaters aren't necessarily bad people with no hearts - just mixed up about what love is.
