Is infidelity a factor in divorce?
The American Psychological Association (APA) found that infidelity is the reason for up to 40 percent of all divorces.
What counts as infidelity in divorce?
Adultery is when a spouse has a sexual relationship outside the marriage. Some states still require one spouse to allege fault, or that one spouse has acted in a way that justifies a divorce. In states where fault is required or allowed, adultery can be the reason for your divorce.
Can you truly love someone and cheat on them?
If you truly loved this person with all of your heart, there would be no one else. You can feel that love, but it does not burn brightly enough. If you cheat on someone, you simply don’t love or respect that person fiercely enough.
Why do people cheat in relationships?
A simple desire to have sex can motivate some people to cheat. Other factors, including opportunity or unmet sexual needs, may also play a part in infidelity that’s motivated by desire. But someone who wants to have sex might also look for opportunities to do so without any other motivators.
