Cheats confessed all on in a forum which posed the question: “People who cheated on their SO [significant other], what was your logic?”

The website received almost 2,000 responses – and it makes eye-opening reading.

“I was horny”, stated one guy, while another added: “I was 17 there was a girl naked on a bed that said ‘come f*** me’. So I did. Wasn't right, but wasn't thinking either.”

One man said he and his girlfriend had been “slowly falling out of love” and had become like “roommates” who occasionally had sex.

He ended up confiding in a work colleague and after “a few weeks of shameless flirting”, the pair spent “an incredible night in a hotel room.”

He said: “It felt awful imagining my girlfriend's face but at that point the path ahead was crystal clear, we broke up the next day and I never told her what happened. The co-worker and I continued to date off and on for two years.”

A woman said her 16-year-long marriage broke down because her husband would not have sex with her but would masturbate to pornography.

“Every 10 to 12 months he would give in and we would have sex. Other than these times there was so physical touching. No hugs. No kisses, no hand holding. I was starving,” she said.

Other contributors said they sought comfort in others after abusive partners made them to feel worthless.

A woman revealed her boyfriend said no one else would want to be with her – so she found someone who did.

“It taught me some really valuable lessons, and gave me the courage to leave this sexually, financially and physically abusive marriage,” she said.

“Should I have cheated? No. But one partner does not get to totally dictate the couples sex life. I was scared and hurt and broken.”

Others revealed they got intimate with old flames and work colleagues.

The top-voted comment simply stated: “No logic here.”

Studies show that almost 60 per cent of men and 45 per cent of women will cheat during their marriage, and that almost one in three couples will be affected by an affair.
