Infidelity can sneak up on even the most solid partnerships. According to an infidelity poll conducted by WomanSavers of 6,330 women, 92 percent believe that emotional affairs lead to physical affairs, whereas only a mere 7 percent believe they do not. (Source) With the increase in technology, cheating has become more prevalent. However, the following the below top ten infidelity-proof tips will increase your chances of having a long-lasting, healthy, monogamous relationship.
1. Don’t Drink or Use Drugs Around the Opposite Sex
Drinking alcohol or using drugs with the opposite sex is one of the quickest ways that lead to infidelity because it lowers your inhibitions. Even having a cocktail at a business lunch can lead to more intimate conversations and inappropriate behavior.
2. Develop common interests and hobbies.
If you and your partner are always spending time apart doing the activities you enjoy separately, there is a higher chance one of you may meet someone who enjoys doing the same activities you do. Couples that “play” together, are more likely to stay together.
3. Exercise and eat right.
Don’t let yourself go physically. Exercise and eat well not only for yourself, but for your partner. If you quit trying just because you have become comfortable, your partner will resent you for being lazy and may become attracted to someone who values their self worth more.
4. Don’t plan meetings alone with the opposite sex.
Now I know it’s not possible to always have meetings in groups. However, if you know you are attracted to an acquaintance, try to plan your meetings in groups because this helps lower the intimacy factor.
5. Put yourself in your partner’s shoes.
If you would be uncomfortable with your partner doing something that you are doing or are considering doing, don’t do it. Respect your partner enough to always consider their feelings.
6. Travel together whenever possible.
The old saying “when the cat’s away, the mouse will play” rings very true. Don’t put yourself in situations where you are more likely to cheat such as going on solo vacations or going to a restaurant or bar alone. If you are traveling for business and your partner is unable to join you, phone them daily to stay in touch.
