If you are talking about sexual cheating in a relationship, false. I know of plenty of people who neither cheated or were cheated on. Maybe you could say a lot of people cheat or get cheated on, but you can't say "everybody" in the whole wide world.
Now if you are talking about in life, gets ripped off, or in board games or such... yeah everyone gets cheated and something in their lives (and I am looking at all you people who put money in the kitty for "Free Parking" in Monopoly. It's just supposed to be a free space!!!)
Generally when you try to make a comment about "everyone" you are wrong from the outset - because there are exceptions to nearly every rule.
But no I see no reason to think that infidelity is the norm - let alone a majority. But suggesting it is a majority to the point of being anywhere close to "everyone" is just baseless from what I can see.
Mostly true given that a person could be the cheater or cheated-upon, but there are outliers so it's not entirely true. The way your question is worded, it's false. Even if every sexually active person on the planet met your criteria, not everyone is sexually active. Again, outliers, but it seems like common sense to me.
Here you go OP... 25% of people over the course of a relationship cheat.

Taken together, in any given year, it looks like the actual likelihood of your relationship suffering from cheating is low — probably less than a 6 percent chance.
Overall, about 55% of all people have cheated in some relationship they've had. In currently existing relationships, about 19% of women and 23% of men have cheated. Since most people have had several dating relationships or marriages, about 80% of people will have had at least one partner who has cheated on them (according the to mathematical explanation I recall reading). It's also known that well over 80% of cheating incidents are never discovered or revealed (84% of men, 92% of women), so you may never even know you're one of the statistics.
If not physically, I'd say emotionally at some point or the other.
Unfortunately impossible to quantify this - as the definitions of what constitutes "emotional infidelity" appears to vary wildly. At least with physical infidelity there is less of a variance on where the boundaries lie.
