It can be both.Because sometimes someone could be drunk when their cheating(subconcious) and other times people choose to cheat.

The term cheating always kind of bothers me - Do animals "cheat" on their partners? Procreation is life's ultimate goal, so I would think of it more as a subconcious act - I mean, I am an animal after all.

I think it is an act by choice unless you are passed out cold but then that would be rape People choose to cheat. It is not something that you have no choice in. I have been in the position to cheat on my ex wife once or twice but I take the covenants I made in the temple very seriously and would never think of ever breaking them no matter what. Unfortunately my ex didn't feel the same.

I think its a subconscious choice, or an implied choice. I doubt anyone really thinks at the first time: "Ok, SHould I cheat on my partner or not??". I think they could just go with the flow, and end up cheating, without going through the mental process of making a decision. This would explain all the defences such as "It was a mistake", "I didnt mean to", "I just wasnt thinking" etc. In other words, reacting in the same way a 4 year old child might. ("See Lolly, want lolly"), where at this point the child hasnt mentally "chosen" to get, say, tooth decay. Of course, when adults start thinking at the mental -age of a toddler, it can be quite a problem.

I feel it is an act by choice. As it is an act of choice to be faithful. Although I am sure someone may try to use it isn't my fault defense I was born this way and try to use science to back it up. But we as humans know this just isn't true and we should take the responsibility of the choices that lead us down the path we picked.

A cheater is one by choice..just as a liar is one by choice..there is nothing subconscious about it. It is deliberate and aimed at covering one's derriere or getting an advantage that one hasn't earned...it is the mark of someone who is so unsure of him/herself that he/she is unwilling to compete in an honorable way..it is a mark of desperation and an admission of insecurity. :)

It's an act of choice - you know that you are doing it. It's not as if you suddenly 'come to' and when the fog clears you realise 'hey, I've just slept with somebody other than my partner - if only I'd known I would not have done it'.
