It’s telling that Mark Sanford bulked at using the word “faithful” in his
wedding vows.

What does this say?

For one, Mark Sanford knew that within him was the capacity to stray, that
it was an ingrained pattern that influenced greatly how he saw himself. And,
he had no desire to be held accountable to the fidelity standard.

At least he had some awareness of his tendency. And yet, he knew he probably
was not going to to forever be faithful.

This speaks of the “I Don’t Want to Say No” affair – the serial cheater.
However, his admission also pointed to flickering of conscience.

This flickering of conscience may speak of an overlap with the”I Want to be
Close to Someone, but can’t stand intimacy” type of affair.
