While the internet is flooded with stories of people cheating in a relationship and how one can deal with such a situation, we have got something different for you on this subject.
Here are some weird facts about cheating that will take you aback.
1 Facebook promoted infidelity?
According to a study published in the journal Cyber Psychology, Behavior and Social Networking, Facebook helps people to reconnect with their old flings that lead to more affairs, break ups and divorces.
2. French tend to cheat more
French people are believed to be the world’s most romantic lovers but this study suggests they are not the loyal ones. In fact, a research revealed that a majority of French cheat on their partners. The rate of infidelity has been increasing in the country since 1970s, when only about 19 per cent confessed cheating on their partners.
3. Does your partner fake orgasm?
If your partner fakes orgasm in bed, this could be a warning sign for your relationship. A study suggests that the partners who faked the big O were more likely to be the unfaithful ones.
4. Cheaters are shopaholics
The infamous extra-marital affair dating site AshleyMadison.com conducted a survey on more than 50,000 women and concluded that more than one third of the participants confessed spending a huge amount of money to maintain their looks for their secret lover. In fact, 27 per cent of them admitted of having a secret credit card to hide their transactions from near and dear ones.
5. Your partner’s voice says a lot
A study published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology has some interesting conclusions. According to it, women fear that men with deeper voice are more likely to cheat. On the other hand, men believe that women with high-pitched voice will cheat on them. The possible reason behind this could be that the more testosterone a man has, the lower his voice would be. Also, the more estrogen a woman has, the higher her voice would be.
6. Slapping your cheating partner is okay!
The Crime Survey for England and Wales surveyed 38,500 people and concluded that ten per cent of them agreed that “slapping or hitting” your unfaithful partner is justified.
7. Here’s what matters
No matter what the studies suggest and the conclusions they draw, it all boils down to the fact that ‘you’ feel is right for your relationship. It’s always better to communicate all issues openly with your partner and trust your gut feeling.
