While a trip around Europe with your partner may sound like an absolute dream, that’s only the case when you’re in a happy, healthy relationship. And unfortunately, infidelity in relationships and marriages might be even more common than many of us realize. According toLA Intelligence Detective Agency, 74% of men and 68% of women say they would have an affair if they were guaranteed to never get caught.
It’s difficult to know the exact numbers around infidelity, as it often happens under the radar, but one2021 studyfrom Health Testing Centers found that 46% of respondents who were in relationships admitted they’ve cheated before.YouGovalso surveyed Americans about their views on infidelity, and 63% revealed that they have cheated on a partner, either emotionally, physically or both, at some point in the past.
Despite how hard it may be to hear this information, four in five Americans say they’re glad that they found out about their partner’s cheating. And over half of these relationships actually survive, even after infidelity has come to light.
People cheat for a variety of reasons, but their motives don’t ever excuse their behavior

When it comes to why people cheat,Regainreports that some of the most common reasons are emotional neglect, sexual dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and sex addiction. People might go in search of something they feel they can’t get from their partner, whether that’s validation, attention or sex. But that doesn’t excuse their choice to betray their partner and keep secrets from them.
Cheating can encompass emotional infidelity; desiring your current partner as well as someone else; flirting online such as sexting, video calling and texting; having strong feelings for someone other than your partner; compulsive sexual behavior; and one night stands. Anything that you have to hide from your partner because it would hurt theirfeelings or feel like a betrayal may fall under the umbrella of cheating.
While cheating can be an isolated incident, it’s often a sign of larger issues

Finding out that your partner has been cheating on you can be Earth-shattering news, and it’s impossible to predict how you might react when given this information. But it’s completely up to the individual whether they want to attempt to work through it and repair the relationship or call it quits immediately. Some believe “once a cheater, always a cheater,” and unfortunately, sometimes this is the case.
According toChoosing Therapy, individuals who have narcissistic tendencies, have cheated in the past, exhibit flirty behavior, guard their technology, accuse their partner of cheating, speak negatively of their exes, cannot accept responsibility and cannot bear to be alone are more likely to be serial cheaters.
Viewers applauded the woman for her patience and her brilliantly executed revenge
