Does everyone cheat?

Contributor: arewehavingfun? arewehavingfun?
Actually, stats say that the majority of both men (not a large majority!) and women DO NOT STRAY and that the % of infidelity is decreasing. That is good news, but people don't always tell the truth in these surveys so its is hard to say how accurate they are.

I think one thing that's important to note is that they don't show the actual data in this link, and in the summary they seem to be including using a very broad definition of cheating that includes "emotional" infidelity as well as things like having a sexually explicit conversation with a stranger online. I'm not saying those things shouldn't be included, however, it's definitely something to keep in mind.

I've seen the actual study before and one thing it definitely DOESNT say is that everyone is having affairs. The levels vary, it's hard to tell how much actual betrayal is involved. And precisely how the respondents perceive both their actions and their responses within the study.

Statistics seem to say yes, at least once, at least at some point in their lives.

um, no. Never have, and I never will. I have felt what that was like, and it was horrendous for me. It was someone I love dearly and it hurt me in unimaginable ways. not gonna make someone feel like that.

This is a well thought out discussion that sums it up for me. Communication is always important in the relationship. My lips are sealed to further elaborate here.

I'm proud to say I've been faithful. Well.. The one serious relationship I've been in a was faithful to her. Never looked at another person. I was a cheater and a player before that but I'm over that stage now

My parents never did in 52 years. I have had more than partner during my life, but when in a committed relationship, NEVER. When you really love someone, why would you want someone else.

Everyone cheats in some way at some point in their life, but it doesn't always relate to a relationship.

I have never cheated. If people want to cheat the they should just be single if they're not ready to settle.

I think such sweeping, all-encompassing statements are usually false.
