saint the saint at fg...on adultery:
I didn't get married until I was 34 and I traveled the planet extensively, so I had lots of relationships. Not once did I ever cheat on a girl I was dating or in a relationship with. I'd be a LIAR (Something I desperately try not to be these days!) if I said that the thought of cheating never crossed my mind, especially in the light of some of the incredibly attractive and intelligent women I've met in a very storied and diverse life.
But I am telling the honest truth when I say that each time that thought stuck me, I found it distasteful and appalling in a place that is at the very core of my being. I knew that to give in to such thoughts, much less the actual act, was not just weak, but abhorrent to my very soul. Call it dignity, honor, personal self-worth, or even the "Code of the West", I have not and not and will never cheat on a girl
Were I to do so, I knew that I would never again be who I am.
