5 things we didn't know about betrayal

For those who cheat, it seems like this is the best time, because cheating has never been easier. 

Discovering a betrayal is no longer a 'big problem.' This happens due to many social and personal factors.

In this article, we will reveal 5 facts, from various studies, that you may not have known before about infidelity:

1. Women are more likely to cheat during ovulation

Ovulation is a 'difficult' time for a woman. She feels sexier. She may dress more provocatively - in tighter clothes - compared to other times of the month. In an evolutionary scheme this makes good sense: She is more fertile and flirtatious at the same time. But shouldn't this instinct be shut down when a woman is in a relationship?

Of course not; her genetic code has no idea she's in a relationship, no idea what a wedding ring means. In fact, results from a University of New Mexico study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society suggest a strong link between ovulation (i.e., female fertility) and an increased interest in men other than her spouse.

2. Men are better than women at detecting infidelity.

3. There is no clinical definition of infidelity.

 Neither researchers, doctors, nor couples can agree on what behaviors constitute infidelity, an issue that proves problematic when it comes to trying to help couples cope with infidelity – since no one has the same vocabulary or perception.

4. Most men don't need a reason to cheat.

A man's cheating is not necessarily an indication of his dissatisfaction in the relationship. Women, on the other hand, tend to be much more complicated, and when they cheat it is almost always an indication of dissatisfaction.

5. One in seven newlyweds will cheat in the first year of marriage.

The last thing you didn't know about betrayal is the most depressing thing you can ever learn about betrayal.

A shocking number of newlyweds admitted to having committed adultery within a year of getting married: 18% of newlywed women and 12% of newlywed men.
