At what age do people most often cheat: certain periods of life are named

A large number of articles have been written about why a person decides to have an affair on the side. It turns out that the reason for this may even be the age of the partner. Experts believe that people are twice as likely to cheat at the age of 39. It turned out that the desire to try something new often intensifies in a person on the eve of round dates.

A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that approaching a new decade makes a person search for a seemingly lost meaning life. Age 29, 39, 49 and similar dates can push a partner not only to new activities, but also to new extramarital relationships. According to a study conducted by the British website IllicitEncounters.com, the age of 39 is the most dangerous in terms of marital infidelity.

The authors of the study note that there are no biological factors behind this phenomenon. This is exclusively psychology.

“It has already happened that the human consciousness is tied to round numbers, so people experience great excitement when approaching what they believe is a turning point. 30, 40, 50 years – these numbers scare people who try to take desperate steps at times. For example, to change your partner,” say the authors of the study.
