[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had never heard of any cheating until I married my DH.

His uncles had cheated on their wives. His best friend actively cheats on his wife. One of his bosses cheats on his wife.

My husband cheated as well.[/quote]

I worked in a very high stress, high pay, male dominated field out of college. At least 2/3+ the men around me were cheating on their spouse, and they weren't the ones you would expect it from. I dated (single) men I worked with for a time and unsurprisingly got cheated on every time. 
 
Maybe just anecdotal but my takeaway from it was that when your friends or colleagues cheat and talk about it, it becomes normalized and people who would not have otherwise gone down that path end up as serial cheaters. The cliche of 'once a cheater, always a cheater' is a cliche for a reason.

In my current social circle many decades removed, no one I know is cheating and although I'm sure some are, I doubt it would be as many as my old social circle.[/quote]
