We’re not all the same…

We all have different motivations to drive us to “affairing.”

I see you.

In my time as a cheater and writing about this lifestyle, I’ve seen many different species of an adulterer. Which one are you?

The Romantic’s:

Looking for love. These are the ones that want the closeness and intimacy with another partner. The good-morning hottie texts. The “Goodnight, baby’s.” The I-just-need-to-see-your-face pics.

“I want to share everything with you,” lovers.

These are the men I look for. I rarely find them. Where are they? Usually trapped in loveless marriages suffering soundlessly. When they decide to cheat, it’s ALL IN. The kind of guys I like. No holding back, no caveats, no limits.

Adultery Gods, please send me a romantic any day now. I’m ready.

The Cake Eater’s:

I’ve written plenty about the cake eaters. The first article I published was about my experience with one. This guy blew me away with his callousness. It was like talking to the Jeffrey Dahmer of adultery.

“Where did you bury your other AP’s?” I felt like asking. Under the stairs?
