"Happy People Cheat Too" — No They Don't

Описание: There's a stat that gets thrown around constantly — 56% of men who cheat say their marriages are happy.

It's cited everywhere and used to push the idea that cheating is random and unpredictable. I think that's total BS.

In this episode, I break down why that stat is misleading, what "happy" actually means (spoiler: the bar is on the floor), and why I firmly believe nobody wakes up and decides to have an affair.

I also share my own perspective, reference data from my Ashley Madison episode, and explain why I think happiness is a choice — in life and in your relationship.
