Well I could see a few ways of interpreting those results.
Firstly the stats.
Men who cheat 29% Women who cheat 18.5%
Even in an anonymous survey, I think women would be likely to deny it, and men exaggerate it, so I think the figures are suss.
I think that a lot of people that are jealous, by nature, actually drive their partners to cheat, and thereby create a self fulfilling prophecy; "If I am always being accused of it, I may as well do it!"
So I think the figures may just tend to show that guys are more jealous, and insecure than women.
Of course I have nothing but my personal observations to come to this conclusion, but I do know that jealousy is very destructive to relationships, and it is far better to accept that someone may, or may not, let you down, and live with that, rather than assuming they will, and poisoning your closeness and trust on the assumption that they will.
Another tip for guys, don't act like a dirtbag, and your woman will be less likely to treat you like one.
Unfortunately we still see a fair bit of the "Madonna or Whore" mentality from immature guys.
