Do most consultants cheat when in a relationship? And as you go higher, the cheating is more frequent and common? 🧐 Calling out all consultants, drop a yes or no if you have cheated and your gender and if in some ways your job contributed to this behaviour!! 😂

Male, never. It has nothing to do with my job. It can only be related to my character I believe.

Cheating isn’t prevalent in the industry specifically (vs. another type of industry). I’m a 32 year old married male and I’ve never felt the need or want to.

I think a better consideration for dating a consultant is how analytical and Type-A they can be. My wife struggles with this in my personality. I’ve gotten more relaxed on the home front but it’s already taken a toll on my wife unfortunately. On the brink of divorce and my heart is in pieces…make sure they can turn off the work mode/brain when they come home to you. Good luck 🙏🏻

It’s weird, when it comes to convincing a client that they absolutely can make this plan work, I’m a great liar but if it’s my wife asking if I just checked out that woman’s bottom, I’m the worst liar in the world and I fold!

Plus by the time I’ve done my work, been to the gym, read my book and played with my cats, the idea of having to talk to someone else and try and be emotionally involved enough to have an affair is frankly exhausting.

Oh and lastly my wife would butcher me with a spoon and bury me under the patio.

Male in consulting for almost a decade, committed for 8 of those, never even thought of cheating. Dont think being on the road changes your inherent character. On engagements where I could travel back home in the middle of the week to surprise my SO at times I have made the effort to do so. Its all about priorities…

Female, no. I'm too exhausted to do anything extra. Married for a long time. My husband and I decided to have an open marriage. He goes out once in a while but nothing steady. I don't. I'd rather binge-watch a Netflix show, drink tea, and put my feet up. LOL!

Male in consulting for 7 years. Never cheated and frankly have never even been romantically involved with someone at my travel location even when single.
