​With Valentine’s day behind us now, and the Spring is surely approaching. It may be time for some Spring Cleaning
in the Bedroom or perhaps a New Fling may be dusting off more than the lamps in your home! We took a look at the Top Studies conducted in the last 7 years about why people cheat and this is what we come up with: The 10 Best Reasons People Cheat.
 
Professor Kelly Campbell at California State University, San Bernardino, who wrote a fascinating article on Psychology Today’s website where she found out what makes people want to cheat? And what she found was astounding and quite common. For instance, in a 2008 University of Montreal study on Cheating concluded that 40-79% of people cheat!  In America 90% of people believe cheating is unacceptable but 30-40 % of those questioned actually cheated. Why? We take the Science out and Add Our Common Sense style to the conversation, so enjoy!

Published on Apr 23, 2012. Sexpert Helen Fisher found six personality chemicals that play off each other in relationships. There's a reason why Bill cries during Hillary's speech.

10. Stagnation
​

​One of the most common excuses to cheat was the sense of worthlessness in the relationship. Not seeing the value versus the time. No one wants to feel like their time is being wasted. Life is short, but not the supply of potential lovers and partners in the world. 

9. Gender
​

​Men are more prone out of genetics to cheat. The chemical testosterone in the males create a strong desire for sex. This goes back to the beginning of Time when man had multiple wives, and a very determined sex drive. 

8. Complacency
​

Can’t seem to say no? Can’t keep those pants or panties on. People who have no back bone or can’t say no prepared to be plowed. Infidelity is associated with adverse outcomes such as depression, domestic violence, divorce, even homicide.

7. Religion
​

Most people who cheat aren’t thinking what would Jesus do at that moment. Which suggests religion builds higher moral fortitude and makes it’s easier to say no as you can feel the utter guilt of the act. You are more likely to cheat if you don’t practice a faith. Then again we can't be as naive and unsuspecting as a child. 

6. Is That Your Equal? 
​

The Good Book says to be equally yoked but if your partner is solely relying on you for support it may be time Hell to pay. You may not just be dumb, I mean overly caring, but possibly You are more likely to cheat on this person if you’re a man. A study conducted by American Sociological Review suggests women like to be used or the “Bread Winner” in this type of situation for the most part. 

5. Environment
​

You heard it all your life. You are a product of your environment. Where and who you spend your time with determines the amount of value you place on them. The more you are there the less you are home with your partner. Especially if you live in a city, you are more likely to cheat than your rural brethren. The consensus is the more people, the more places the more opportunity you have. And Vice Versa. 

4. Happiness
​

 Many people take this for granted. Happiness is nothing someone else can give you. Only you can make yourself happy. However, people can take your Happiness very fast. So much so that a 2011 Research from the Archives of Sexual Research suggests in the study that 72% of men and 62% of females who cheated said they were not happy. 

3. The #9
​

A 2014 Study on the Hack of Ashley Madison website revealed some very informative insight on the married cheaters on their site. The consensus is that people who are turning 30, 40, 50, 60, and even 70 years old are at a cross road in life. They are searching for more meaning in life, before the big decade milestone and ultimately a new partner. Once again no one wants to feel like they are wasting away in unhappiness. 

2. Bored

Can you believe a whopping 71% of Men and 49% of women cheated out of boredom alone? Conclusion: People get bored and they cheat!

1. Lack of Communication

Communication is the foundation and cornerstone to any lasting relationship. People in general get tired of a mundane routine. When you have communication problems, you have heavy problems! Only 12 percent of the men surveyed said the woman they slept with was more attractive than their partners  according to marriage counselor M. Gary Neuman spoke to 200 cheating and non-cheating men for his book The Truth About Cheating. There are many practical reasons why people cheat. There are also many reasons to not! Use this as a guide to detect or resolve your relationship issues before it's too late!
