I think the one with the most power or the one with control in an relationship tends to cheat. You really don't see egalitarian couples these days.

This seems like something that cheaters tell themselves in order to feel better about what they do.

The answer is false.

People are far too complex for everyone to be categorized into having the same experiences.

Some people will never physically cheat, but will have cheated in their minds with someone else, and others will emotionally cheat--falling in love with someone else that isn't their partner, even without sex present.

Then there are people that will find themselves completely infatuated with the person their in a relationship with, and they'll have no desire to think of anyone but their partner.

I didn't say lying, but coming clean-disclosure. If I was to estimate the number of men and women that have cheated on a Wife/Husband, SO, or BF/GF from responses in this thread, it would be less than 5%. Less than 5% is not realistic.

False for me. Starting from my parents and most of my siblings. I myself don't feel/see the need for cheating. Fortunately so is my husband. He told me recently, he will leave me first before getting on another girl. Don't know if it is a good or bad thing to say to me, LOL.

But yeah I agree with him, why not leave your current relationship first before banging another, like really? I mean I really don't see how people do cheat and see no problem with it.

I guess we are the 1%. We have the no cheating gene running in our veins.

I agree. I think the worst thing about cheating is the lying and total disrespect it shows for the other person. At one time if you loved that person enough to be in a relationship with them, out of respect for them you could at least exit the relationship first and be honest instead of skulking around behind their back.

Perhaps some make themselves feel better by believing everyone does it?

I agree with this. I have been divorced a long time - by that I mean over 12 years. So last year my ex says to me, "be honest you cheated too while we were married, didn't you? It's been so long you can tell me now." I said look you can believe what you want to believe. Years don't change what happened. I never cheated - nor did I ever want to, but if that is easier for you to believe I did - then believe it. Honestly I really don't care what you believe. My life has moved forward and the thought of us and our past marriage is not even anything I actively think on. Its done and past over.

Wow. I was like WHAT! Is this a real question!
