It attracts people who are more concerned with money and status compared to family and fufillment in your career. Lots of consultants are super vain
Those type of people probably cheat more

Haha yeah you're all quite defensive - no I have personally not, but have witnessed it plenty. Both men and women.

Do you think most people cheat?

I've definitely seen it but it doesn't seem as prevalent as you'd think given the opportunity ...I'm not sure it's more prevalent than in the general population but who knows...

OP you need to run with a better crowd

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
