Cheating is an addictionCheating is an addiction . Its called sexual addiction . It ' s similar to being an alcoholic or heroin addict , some can get over it , some struggle their whole lives . To answer OP ' s question I cheated on my wife 8 years ago . Went to therapy , by myslef and couples . I really think we ' re going to be ok . Our life it not perfect . We laugh , and cuddle , and love each other greatly . We also fight , when she is reminded or triggered by the past . I broke the trust , so this is expected . I scarred her for life . Its kinda like 2 steps forward , one step back . The goal is to just keep taking those steps forward . <| sep |> Even when the paddles spell out P . E . D ? I ' m not saying it ' s a cornerstone of the investigation but people doing this shit communicate in a secret language . Way before wikileaks everybody knew this kind of shit goes on . Millions children are trafficked every year . How could that go on without the NSA knowing about it ? The answer is , it couldn ' t . That ' s what ' s so disturbing . Also there is the theory that this is a red herring to push wikileaks to release damning information on the Clinton foundation early so Obama still had the chance to pardon her . Would explain why Assange has been missing for the past month and a half .
