It's the same with me. When thinking of extramarital sex, I don't get a big flashing neon sign that says, "This is morally wrong." It's not that thought holding me back. But I think of the pain that it would cause my wife and kids and I know I can't be the cause of that.
I've heard of too many marriages in society either breaking apart over this kind of thing, or not breaking apart but the incident hanging over the head of the person who erred like an eternal cloud. All quarrels end up returning to it. A betrayal of trust like that may be forgiven but seems never forgotten.
Also, affairs are expensive both in money and time invested. I read an article years ago that warned men in advance that if they were thinking of getting into an affair, to know that the average affair cost about $27,000 from beginning to end (or some comparable figure).
