You tell everyone you know, but keep doing it? Sure you're not kind of bragging in reverse? I mean, it almost sounds like you're giving yourself an excuse to keep cheating because, well, after all, Everyone knows you're "just a cheater."

What kind of relationship do you have that your partner keeps accepting your cheating? On the surface, it doesn't sound like a very healthy one.

As far as the psychology behind it and your non-relationship with your dad - um, those are just starting points. YOU have to do some real soul searching as to what it is you're looking for - and *Why*. Escape? Excitement? Punishment? Approval? Variety? Revenge? Attention?

Take a good hard look at each time you've cheated - what is the pattern? What other areas in your life do you cheat? Are you cheating *yourself*?

Sounds like you need to do much more thought and much less action until you discover what's driving you. Whatever you uncover, remember that anything you need, you already have inside of you. You just have to keep looking until you find it.

Good luck! =)
