Compulsive lying / cheating

I have already reached out to local mental health services in my area, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice or similar issues regarding compulsively lying and cheating on their partner, I don’t know what drives me to do it, I had the perfect relationship where I was in a poly couple with two women who I loved very dearly, but I couldn’t help myself when it came to lying and cheating, needless to say it has ruined the relationship, hence reaching out for help in my area, can anyone offer any advice or similar situations?

Maybe it is just me but there is no thing as perfect relationship...we are all human...  if you really do not know why you do these things maybe you need to look deeper....

Everyday we have a choice to tell the truth or make up a lie..... when we chose the lie there is a reason..... maybe it is a reason we do not want to admit or like but it is there.   

What did cheating come from the excitement of someone new... is the cheating with one person or many ... what is the payoff....what do you feel is missing?

I've struggled with this as well. I guess it is the excitement of meeting someone new. I always believed I was addicted to the chemical cocktail of " Falling in Love" .
