In my experience, these numbers seem very low. Ive never cheated but I’ve been cheated on in nearly every relationship ive been in and many of my friends have as well or have been the cheater. I’d believe these numbers as the percentage caught cheating. If it was self reported, which is probably the only way to collect that data, I’d assume some people lied.
In case anyone else was curious, 23% of men and 19% of women have cheated.
I thought it was normal too! Both my spouse and I have cheated on past significant others when we were young, I guess we deserve each other.
