WHO CHEATS MORE IN RELATIONSHIPS? 💔

February 13, 2026 / 01:48

This episode discusses the differences in cheating behaviors between men and women, featuring insights from a marriage counselor with 25 years of experience.

The conversation highlights that men get caught cheating more often than women, but this does not necessarily mean they cheat more. The counselor emphasizes that self-reported statistics on cheating may not be reliable.

According to the counselor, men tend to cheat in more impulsive ways, while women often cheat as a final indication that a relationship is over. This perspective is based on direct observations from years of facilitating marital issues.

Men often express confusion about their cheating, claiming it is unrelated to their feelings for their wives. The episode provides a candid look at the complexities of infidelity.

TL;DR

Men and women cheat differently; men get caught more often but it doesn't mean they cheat more.

Men get caught cheating more often than
00:00:02
women.
00:00:03
>> Does that mean they cheat more?
00:00:04
>> No, it means they get caught cheating
00:00:06
more. You know, I know people love
00:00:07
statistics and I know that that you
00:00:09
know, guests have a tendency to come on
00:00:11
and say, "Well, 72% of people who are I
00:00:14
there are certain things that I I I just
00:00:16
don't think you can accurately track
00:00:19
because unless you have real reliable
00:00:21
data and I don't really consider
00:00:23
self-reporting surveys that good of a
00:00:26
data because they tell you a lot about
00:00:27
what people would like to think they
00:00:29
believe or that people would like to be
00:00:31
perceived as believing or the kinds of
00:00:33
people that fill out surveys, what they
00:00:36
might have to say I everything I'm
00:00:38
saying is based on what I've observed in
00:00:40
25 years of facilitating the demise of
00:00:42
marriages. This is direct observation.
00:00:45
I've thrown a little of my own sort of
00:00:47
experience onto that. I mean, facts all
00:00:49
come with points of view, but I'm very
00:00:52
careful to not, you know, be like
00:00:54
speculating. I'm I'm really looking at
00:00:56
what's in front of me. Men and women
00:00:58
both cheat. Men cheat in just more
00:01:02
scattershot stupid ways than women do.
00:01:05
When women cheat, in my experience
00:01:07
professionally, it's like a more like a
00:01:09
professional hit like and it's usually
00:01:11
an indication of like the it's the
00:01:13
absolute end of this relationship. The
00:01:15
relationship is over and this is either
00:01:17
a soft place to land or it's sort of a
00:01:19
final opportunity for this person to
00:01:21
solidify, this woman to solidify in her
00:01:23
head that yeah, this thing is over.
00:01:25
Whereas men, I've really had hundreds at
00:01:29
this point of men sit across from me
00:01:31
who've been caught in an affair or sense
00:01:34
that they're about to get caught in an
00:01:36
affair and they say to me like, "Yeah,
00:01:39
this had nothing to do with my wife.
00:01:41
Like, I love my wife. It had nothing to
00:01:42
do with that. It just I don't know. I
00:01:44
just I don't know why I did what I did.
00:01:46
I just did it.
