When He Cheats - The Truth About Infidelity

So what are some of the things that we're all used to hearing about infidelity? There's

a lot of really like

kind

of

cliche things that you hear out there about cheating.

All men cheat.

Well, that one is just

ridiculous.

Well, yeah, never forgive a cheater.

Strong women always leave, or it's always the woman's fault.

I hear sometimes men say that, or a good woman stays and fixes her marriage.

What about the guy? You know, I mean, these are things that you hear, and they're just common phrases, I think, about cheating.

It's surprising how many people will, how many women will say, well, all men cheat.

I've heard that so many times, surprisingly.

Whether you know it or not, they're cheating.

Can I give you some statistics on that? Yeah.

Okay, so basically in a marriage, roughly maybe a quarter of men might cheat, and maybe half of that in terms of women.

So it's maybe 25-12.

It depends on what research study you read, but men tend to cheat a little more than women.

But all men cheat isn't true, because I know men... who are in unfulfilling emotional and sexual relationships who don't cheat.

They stay true to their commitments.

And I see some men who are actually in really great relationships with wonderful partners who cheat.

So I kind of take the position that if somebody cheats, it's really not their partner's fault, even though there may be contributing factors, a thing to understand.

But on the part of that person, because if you're kind of standing on ice, your chances of falling are higher than if you don't.

And, you know, that's somewhat of a choice.
