The more your partner flirts, the higher the risk of him being involved in an affair. A psychologist confirmed this. Ragnar Beer, a psychologist from Goettingen, Germany, conducted a survey on 2,600 men and women who had ever cheated or be cheated by their partners.
One result from this survey is very surprising. Most of or about 80% of cheating men/women are still in love with their partner. The biggest reasons for their cheating are the opened opportunities, inability to resist the temptations, or a need for new challanges. Excessive stress at work can also be counted as a factor.
In addition to the above facts, consider these four other startling facts surrounding romantic affairs:
- Not Just One Night Stand Dating
Research conducted by Beer shows the most affairs are not just a one night stand dating. Only 12% women and 15% men done this one night stand. Almost 60% of the respondents admitted that their affairs lasted for more than 1 month, some even up to 6 months.
- Affairs May Be Repetitive
One affair may then be followed by another, and then another, another... and so forth. According to the conducted survey, 49% of the cheating husbands and 55% of the cheating wives cheated only once. And 17% of men were having an affair while dating a woman, 12% male respondents cheated twice and and 22% cheated more than three times. About women, 20% of them betrayed their husbands twice, 10% three times and 15% more than three times.
- After Having Been Caught Cheating
An affair will always be a big problem when exposed. According to Deer's survey, most people admit their infidelity to their partner, ie 44% men and 46% women. 30% men and 24% women's affairs were exposed because of being caught by their partners. Only 3% men and 6% women's affairs being exposed because of the other's reports.
- Betrayals Will Never Be Forgotten
Discourse that unfaithfulness can be forgiven and forgetten turned out to be wrong. 43% men and 61% women had never been able to forgive and forget their partner's affairs. Then, 11% men and 20% women who have an unfaithful partner, find themselves hating their partners instead of loving them.
