I believe the cheating issue is far more complicated than the survey analysis would suggest. There are three points worth considering.
1) Sex is driven by biology, period. We have not evolved from our cave dwelling instinct as much as we may believe. Think of all the women that will do anything to conceive a baby. IVF is an insane procedure but it is commonplace. Think of all the teenage boys that live those years chasing girls for sex. Then consider this: when you form a long-term relationship it is about each other. Once you become pregnant it is about the baby; the male is left out and no longer has the same relationship with his partner. This lasts for about four years after giving birth. The romance is gone, there is little time for sex and when there is time for each other it is awkward for many reasons. And then, quite often, there is a second and third child.
2) When you do one thing wrong it can become the beginning of a slippery slope. There is a notion called “belief follows behavior.” This notion essentially means you change your belief system to align with any type of behavior.
3) What you give into from a biological perspective (the most powerful force in nature) has nothing to do with your moral compass in other areas. Think of it as causation vs. correlation.

That guy I wrong, someone does get hurt. Although there re three people on an affair, often only two of them know what I going on. The third may have suspicions but is going to be devastated once the truth comes to light. Been there, done that a couple of times and it is heart wrenching to be betrayed by someone you thought was there for you.
Whenever someone, anyone, does anything wrong, s/he finds an excuse. They can either repent & ask forgiveness & not repeat or believe their original excuse. That excuse has been used by so many others, if you’re using it you certainly aren’t special.
Marriage oaths are much like the one a president swears to.
“…and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Or the one someone in the military swears to.
“…that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same…”
Or the House of Representatives.
“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
On another topic, GOOD FOR UKRAINE! Seems as though, while sitting in that god-forsaken Oval Office facing those two buffoons who thought they were somehow playing poker with President Zelens’kyi, Zelens’kyi was chesting his royal flush. Revenge is best served cold and in this case, without saying a word to others who didn’t need to know.
The second time Jonathan cheated, he felt badly again.
Please note that this is the wrong use — should read felt bad.

This is when “liar, liar, pants on fire”🔥 should REALLY happen
I'm not touching this one with a 10 ft. pole.
Neither am I!
Ben Franklin said, "A secret is when three people know something and two of them are dead."
Trust, if broken, is very difficult to regain and is almost as important in marriage as love.
