5 FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CHEATING

Cheating is a nightmare in every relationship. A lot of myths have circulated within the years to an extent of inducing fear in partnerships that should be forged by love and trust. Is it wrong or right? This varies between parties but all in all it is a behavior that results to pain and heartbreaks.
These are 5 facts you should know about cheating.

1. Does kissing count?
Most people who are in a relationship
assume that both sides will be completely
faithful to one another, just like in a
marriage. But sometimes people cheat and that can lead to a big crisis in a
relationship.
Whether it’s kissing another person, a
one-night stand or a long-term love affair,
infidelity usually really hurts the person
you’re in a relationship with. For some,
even becoming too attached emotionally
to someone else feels like being unfaithful
– they see it as ‘emotional cheating’.

2. The end of the relationship?
Although cheating on your partner is so
often so painful for them, it happens more
than you might think. For example, 34
percent of men and 19 percent of women
in the USA say they’ve been unfaithful to
their spouses at some point. But the fact
that it’s common doesn’t mean it’s not a
risk for your relationship. In fact, cheating
doubles the chances of divorce , a study
found.
But some relationships survive even if one
partner has cheated on the other. You
might agree that even though one person
has made a mistake, you value your
relationship enough to stay together. But
even then, don’t expect things to be back
to normal straight away. It takes time to
build up trust again.

3.Reasons for cheating
There are lots of different reasons why
people cheat. They might be unhappy in
their relationship or unsatisfied with the
sex. But some studies claim that wanting
to cheat can also have genetic reasons.
People with a certain ‘cheating gene’
variant are more likely to have casual sex
and one-night stands – and to cheat on
their partners.
Some sexperts even claim that the entire
idea of being faithful to your partner all
the time is absurd and like a ‘sexual jail’.
After all, they say statistically for human
beings cheating is more the exception
than the rule, and monogamy is a myth .
But of course, there’s no need to follow
through on the impulse to be unfaithful:
even if all humans were genetically
predisposed to cheat, it doesn’t mean
they have to do it.

4.Cheating, the internet and porn
So what about looking at porn while you’re
in a relationship? There are different
opinions about whether watching porn
means cheating. Most people think it’s
OK. But if you lie to your partner, feel
guilty about watching porn and do it in
secret, it’s probably not a good thing for
your relationship.
It’s even more complicated when it comes
to online flirting and cybersex. For some,
it’s totally fine to have a flirt with
someone else online while you’re in a
relationship. Others would consider it
cheating. Again, honesty and openness
are probably the most important things
when dealing with this question, but it’s
definitely a sensitive topic.

5.Can you spot a cheater?
Clearly, to avoid heartbreak it would just
be the best option to get together with
someone who definitely won’t cheat on
you. But is there a way to tell if someone
is a cheater? Well, apparently there is …
just listen to them talking!
So how can you tell a cheater by their
voice? Women with high voices and men
with low voices were more likely to be
unfaithful, a Canadian study found

What would you do if you found out he/she has been or is cheating to you?
