A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I think this is way off base. It's easy to make yourself single.

Cheaters either think they will get away with it, or are lying to themselves about what they are doing.

"My partner won't mind so much."

"Nothing that feels so right could be wrong."

"I'm not the kind of person who cheats, so considering the circumstances, this doesn't really count."

I think the joke is they want to MAKE themselves single, but also that they ACT like they are single. But yes I'd bet the average cheater is in denial about both sides of this shower thought.
