The results of this survey about cheating will probably make you very paranoid

Can't trust anyone, lads.

cheating in relationships

If you’ve been cheated on before, you know how shit it is.

And if you’ve done the cheating, you probably know that your actions have been questionable at best.

It’ll come as no surprise that a lot of people who cheat do it with someone they don’t know.

But it appears that the majority of those who do the dirty on their partner actually do it with someone they do know.

According to diamond jewellery company Forktip, 23.8 percent of people who have cheated admitted that they had done it with one of their partner’s mates.

Grim.

Similarly, 22.4 percent said that they had cheated with someone they work with.

Just 3.9 percent said that they had cheated with a member of their partner’s family, which is a bit of a relief, to be honest.

The survey included answers from 5,000 men and women.

It also showed that more men have cheated on their partner than women, with 40.4 percent of lads admitting that they had gotten with someone else while in a relationship.

Almost 10 percent less women admitted the same thing.

So there you go.

Queue everybody getting massively paranoid about how much time their partner spends with their mates.

Sound.
