13. ‘Thinking with my dick.’
“Thinking with my dick. Feels good in the moment then regrets later. Why would I risk so much for such a stupid fleeting feeling? I love my SO. This is way back in my past and I’ve learned a lot and wised up.”
14. ‘Honestly, undiagnosed borderline personality disorder.’

What I did was still my fault, I’m not denying that. But after I was diagnosed I went through a lot of self-help therapy books, saw a counselor…and the urge to cheat has never come up in the past 3 years with my current SO.
Mental illness is a bitch. It can influence you to do things that you never thought you would do. Those things are still your actions and your responsibility. But it’s like your brain holding a gun to your head and telling you to do something. And if you don’t have the right coping skills, you don’t know how to say no to your brain.”
