Overview
Daniel expresses deep regret over cheating on his ex-wife and previous girlfriends, reflecting that aging helped him learn to respect women as individuals with feelings rather than treating them as objects or trophies.
Daniel attributes his history of infidelity, which began around age 21, to youthful physical drives, lapses in judgment, and an absence of empathy stemming from never having experienced being cheated on.
Reflecting on his marriage and past relationships, Daniel characterizes cheating as an immature sacrifice of lasting stability for short-lived impulses, noting intense guilt, a lack of physical attraction in most encounters, and insufficient willpower to resist outside temptation at the time.
Daniel recalls feeling close to genuine love the previous year during a relationship with Mila, noting she remained faithful to him.
