The difference between planning an affair and finding oneself in an affair...I don't think that many of us accept that -any- affair is totally automatic. Seems like some sort of planning/decision making might have gone down. 5 months or 5 seconds worth. I'm wondering if maybe it's the implication of long standing continuous deceit prior to, rather than the act itself.
Deceit prior to, during, and after, are all extra things that may be added to the mere act of infidelity. So if one values honesty, then the preplanning stages will matter to one.
