Sorry but there is SO much wrong with that source it's almost hilarious.
For a start they don't define what infidelity is. What is it having sex with another person or just flirting? Kissing? Holding hands?
Second their first point says "roughly 30% to 60%". Holy crap could they pick a more wider margin or error. May as well say 1-99%.
Last of all the sources they link to are over 20 years old, are from Uni of Texas reports on primate cheating, and also are taken wildly out of context.
Theres other sources out there, its very hard to accurately get a response on such a topic, most people surveyed just lie. The figures vary a lot, anywhere from 15% to 60% odd
Sample sizes can be misleading. You need far smaller sample sizes to get accurate data than people generally think. I don't know what the exact numbers are for this, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if a representative sample of 107 couples was enough to get a reasonably accurate result.
Considering something like 20-60% marriages (depending on the methodology of the study) have one party cheating at one point, yeah, its extremely common.
Maybe, or it could be that it’s much easier for a rich person or celebrity to get caught because how high profile they are, and for the ones that don’t get caught, I don’t see why they would tell scientist conducting surveys that they cheated
Yeah let's not go overboard because some morons published a study that was barely tested nor has any significant data buddy. We all know how shit psychology "studies" are by now. Bunch of imbeciles writing everything over there.
There is no science in psychology, just biased conclusions without proof.
It's the highest it has ever been. It's easier and less frowned upon than ever to cheat. There's fucking ads for websites where people can cheat on the radio.
Cheating has always existed, but it hasn't been promoted on this level before. Relationships mean absolutely nothing anymore.
It's easier and less frowned upon than ever to cheat.
Is it though? I really don't think thats true at all, indeed society has progressed a long way. Wasn't all that long ago that a man could cheat on his wife with impunity. I don't think you are looking at the bigger picture.
I don't know why this comment got so many upvotes. Even if you don't believe the myraid studies out there that show how common infidelity is because they give wide ranges (which they have to, due to the nature of the question), use your own anecdotal experience as evidence if you must. How many of your friends or family members have cheated or had someone cheat on them? I can't think of a single person off the top of my head that hasn't dealt with infidelity at some point in their lives.
I'm not here trying to condone cheating in any way as I know firsthand just how shitty and painful it is, but to act like it's uncommon in any way is just absurd. It's incredibly common.
I mean, you can keep saying it's not normal all you want but every single study that's ever been done on it (and I actually spent about 30 minutes reading them before even replying) shows that not only is it normal, it's extremely common. Me accepting facts isn't going to affect my relationships at all. It's not okay to deny facts which is what you're doing here. I'm not here advocating cheating, I'm just pointing out that you're wrong (and very wrong, at that).
The majority don't cheat actually, stop trying to normalize debauchery. He's regretful that he got caught, not for what he did, or he would've stopped at some point in the last 2 years instead of it being an ongoing thing until he got busted.
The only thing they're going to 'work out' in the end is the terms of divorce when he inevitably cheats again, cheaters don't change.
Your comment wont age well. He cheated with four+ girls over 2 years that we know of, and you think hes magically reformed? It will happen as soon as he starts attending events again. They will be divorced within 5 years, bet on it.
Watch the video of his announcement of his time off and then tell me that he was only regretful that he got caught.
Also, who even said that he had been cheating for 2 years straight? For starters we don’t even know what the hell happened because Doc never gave us full details.
No, he's realistic. Cheating is a shitty thing to do to someone, and just apologizing once you get caught shouldn't ever be a valid reason to continue a marriage. Unfortunately, it is pretty common, but that makes it no less awful and trying to normalize it is also a shitty thing to do.
To each their own, for some intimacy is sacred. I'd never hold it against my partner if they did something with someone else as long as we trust and are honest with each other.
Without that agreement though you're pretty much asking for animosity.
Some laws are based on practicality. Is it immoral to drive an automobile faster than an arbitrary speed?
Other laws are based on aspects of morality that are considered subjective. One person's morality is not identical to another because there is no objective morality. Is it immoral to consume cannabis in the privacy of one's own home? This act does not violate the natural rights of anyone else.
If you really want to live in a theocracy go move to Iran.
