Yeah, I curse way too much, I don't go to church anymore, and regarding the adultery one, when I met my husband, he was still married, but was separated from his wife, and was starting divorce proceedings. So technically I did. There was another guy before my husband that I had been screwing who was also married, also separated and going through divorce proceedings with his wife. I'm not a saint and don't pretend to be.
Anyone who claims they've never broken on of them is a damned liar. The claim itself is breaking them - it's a prideful boasting, and a form of covetousness - "look at me, see how good i am and how bad you are", that sort of thing.
This thread is like a public confessional, one which I am not going to enter because I am not a Catholic. I'm not even a Christian, by the self-definition of most Christians. Besides, If I was going to confess every time I've broken one of those commandments, it would amount to a feature length book.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
