Is America Experiencing an Infidelity Epidemic?

Half of young adults say cheating is common, but are they right?

When it comes to the state of romance and relationships, recent news has been somewhat disheartening. A recent poll we conducted on this topic revealed a considerable amount of dating pessimism. Perhaps even more concerning was how common young people believe infidelity has become.

Young women are especially gloomy. Nearly six in ten young women (57 percent) and 44 percent of young men believe that infidelity among people in committed relationships is extremely common or very common in American society.
