Is there a cheating gene?
My husband just found out today that his cousin cheated on his wife and is getting a divorce. They were only married two years and have a young son. To top it all off, he left her because she was "rude" enough to accuse him of cheating, apparently (even though he was- he freely admitted this to my husband). He and the new girlfriend (who was also married) are now together. I noticed that the wife de-friended me and my husband on FB a couple weeks ago and I wondered why, but now I guess I know she's making a clean break from her husband's family members (which I don't blame her for at all, espcially since we didn't know each other well).
I've lost track of how many of my husband's family members have cheated on their spouses now. It's unreal! And his family is super-religious too (to the point where they don't date without chaperones) so it's not what you would stereotypically expect.
I don't know of any affairs in my family... but maybe my family just does a better job of covering them up? How common do you think affairs are? It seems like my husband's family is prone to them.
ETA: if there is a cheating gene (and I used that term a little bit tongue-in-cheek) then I'm sure it has skipped my husband. I didn't make this post because I'm afraid we'll be next. Just in case that wasn't clear 
Re: Is there a cheating gene?
strange, maybe it's because a lot of them feel they didn't have a chance to form a proper relationship or have enough dating experiences since they were chaperoned?
I am not sure how common cheating is, but I do know that the one family member in my family that recently got divorced is because of cheating. They were married over 20 years or something. A few other family members had divorces but really early (I wasn't born yet) so they were short marriages. I doubt those were cheating, but I suppose it could be.
You know, I kind of thought of this as well. It makes sense. It also makes me happy my husband broke away from his upbringing at a young age, lol
