Life shouldn't be full of regrets...
I sometimes wonder if I ever stepped out on Mrs. Chow... I don't think I could live with myself.. and I don't say that to be some kind of martyr... I say it from a selfish point of view... I don't think I could literally live with myself... the thought of seeing her face and knowing that I caused that pain.........that would be too much to bear.....

It's a lot more than just that, Chowhound... a lot more.
When such an affair happens, it causes the guilty party to live a totally different life. When the phone rings you gasp to see who it is - and hope it's not 'that other person'. You wipe away - harshly - any trust that your S/O had in you. If you're 3 minutes late from getting home, there's that 'I wonder where he/she was' - there's the knowledge of how what you did hurt your S/O - and all the people downline that you've hurt, by removing that trust.
It's a lot more than that - and then there's the part where you have to look at yourself in the mirror - that's when you ask, 'who is that' looking back....
