He’s been a bit lost in thought lately, he often looks at his phone and looks like he’s constantly texting someone. With a friend? Brother? Maybe mom has some problem? Or maybe he has someone on his side? Such thoughts run through the heads of many people who are in a relationship. Often this thoughtfulness is simply wondering what’s rattling in the car or why chickens have head stabilization. However, it also happens that betrayal actually creeps into our relationship.
A relationship like a ticking bomb
It is not known what is worse – suspecting betrayal or knowing that it happened. When suspected, we sometimes fall into paranoia, become possessive and jealous. Relationships with your partner deteriorate, which only contributes to bigger problems. However, if the betrayal becomes a fact, the entire basis of the relationship collapses. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, but once trust is broken it is difficult to rebuild.
Are you afraid of betrayal? Watch out for one thing
Scientists have taken up the issue of betrayal. They decided to investigate what causes the risk of its occurrence in a relationship to increase. It seems there is one thing we should pay attention to if we are concerned about our significant other’s infidelity. Researchers from the University of Denver researched over the course of 5 years and came to very interesting conclusions. It turns out that there is a large grain of truth in the saying “once a cheater, always a cheater”, loosely translated as “if you cheat once, you will do it again”. According to the study, people who have cheated in the past are three times more likely to do it again compared to those who were faithful to their partners.
So if we know that our other half has been unfaithful in previous relationships, there is a high risk that the same will happen this time. Interestingly, it does not change much whether the couple’s relationship is legalized. In a marriage, the probability of cheating is still greater.
