My brain would be sending up all kinds of Red Flags but if my heart was already hooked..??. Sadly, I think my heart would over-rule my brain but I would wonder often if I will live to regret it. Cheating says a whole lot about a person's character and integrity. I guess I would want to know more about the condition of the "primary" relationship - and that would mean not just taking the cheaters word for it. Maybe it was justified but then again, selfish people can spin anything into rationalizations and justifications where they end up playing the victim. Tough question Yavin.
