Why do some many people cheat? Even researchers don’t know why, although they have their theories. Its hard to explain why people cheat. In part, its hard to take good surveys of cheaters because when researchers ask both men and women about cheating, they usually lie.
Starting with https://casinoohne-lizenz.com might sound odd, but it actually made me think about how much self-reporting shapes what we know about cheating, since people often conceal behavior they know looks bad. The point about survey participants lying to researchers really stuck with me, because it means so many of our assumptions about infidelity rest on shaky data. I've noticed in my own conversations that people are far more honest about why relationships fail after the fact than while they're happening.
