Does everyone cheat or what??

[funnydaysss]

Literally every couple I know and looking on here too and just from people telling me stories it seems most people cheat. Correct me if I'm wrong..

But I've been put off dating now because I'm scared to be cheated on & I have been cheated on in the past

Nope. Been together 20 years and never cheated.

No of course they don’t.

Errr no cheating

Never cheated, never been cheated on. I know far more people who haven't cheated than those who have. (Or at least they've never told me I guess, but I believe they haven't)

I think it’s about being with the right person at the right time. So no not every relationship.

I never have. I am not about to jeopardise a marriage to a man who carries me home a 40litre bag of compost nearly 2 miles in baking sunshine!

No

@DDemelza he’s a keeper

No it’s just you hear about the cheaters a lot because there’s nothing for non-cheaters to say on it - they’re just going about their lives...not cheating

I dunno. I thought my DH would never cheat...couldn't have been more wrong sadly.

nope. no cheating here.

Most people I know who have been in a marriage of 10 years or more have been cheated on. Seems like it's just accepted as one of those things.

Yes.

I would have laid money my DH would never do this . . He did . . .

I've never cheated but I have been cheated on.

I was cheated on by a boyfriend before I met DH. We’ve been together 28years married for 22 years and neither of us have cheated ( as far as I’m aware regarding DH), but nobody would have him 😂😂. Like he’d say about me , they’d soon bring you back 😂😂. Seriously though people do cheat but not everyone.

Cheated on at 19. Have never cheated. DH has never cheated.

I am in my early 50s now and over the years people who have cheated /been cheated on have been a very small minority.

Nope. Would never cheat and dh says the same.

Surveys suggest that around 60% of people cheat and those are just the ones who admit to it.

Bear in mind though that someone could cheat in their teens and never again and even cheat in one relationship but spend the rest of their life with the person they cheated with.

But then there will be those who have cheated but who would never admit to having done it.

Certainly not everyone cheats, but definitely more do than don’t.

@dayswithaY I hope it doesn't become accepted as 'one of those things', that's pretty awful isn't it.

I only know of a handful of people who have cheated and on each occasion, it's ended the relationship.

If it's any consolation I read the title of your thread and thought 'cheat at what?'. I was thinking games/cards . I had just woken up though.

All my friends are still together with their long term partners of 10yrs plus and DH and I are ok. I know that doesn't mean that none of them have cheated - just they haven't shared that info with me. But I'm an optimistic soul.

To be clear, I certainly don't see it as "one of those things" it's just that it has become depressingly common among people I know and they seem to sweep it away and just get on with it. Maybe it has always been this way and people just don't talk about it, a lot of people cope with things by living in denial.
