If your husband has one of these jobs — he’s more likely to cheat, study says
New York Post ^ | Aug. 25, 2025 | Fabiana Buontempo

It turns out there is a certain breed of men who continue to cheat on their loved ones — and it has to do with either the type of job they have or the lack thereof.

According to a new study conducted by the Institute for Family Studies in a blog post, men in high-power positions — like CEOs, surgeons and physicians — and those unemployed are more likely to cheat than their counterparts.

Writer Wendy Wang studied occupational data from the General Social Survey (GSS) to conclude that 18% of men in these top positions have been unfaithful in their marriage. And on the flip side of things, unemployed men ages 25 to 54 are more likely to have extramarital sex since about 1-5 of them have already cheated.

“I would think politicians would be number 1 on the list.”

Seems like it’s done by men (and women) cheat who are in power and have a sense on entitlement. They think they are “above the law”, including God’s law.

Pols. Police.

“Women don’t jump ship unless they have a foot already aboard another.”

It NEVER has to do with wanting to not have the sh!t beat out of them and/or the kids, right?

Many American presidents have cheated on their wives and some on multiple wives. However, I still think lawyers should be added to the profession list of who cheat.

Never say never. But yes, rarely. Monkey branching primarily.

“When you’re out for dinner, or just on the sofa watching TV, does your man leave his phone face up or face down?” Smith asked in a column for the Daily Mail. “It may seem trivial, but ask yourself – what could possibly flash up that he doesn’t want anyone to see?”

The distracting flash itself.

(Not that this applies to me. I keep my phone on my person.)

“I think it’s rubbish when people say phones should be private,”

Unemployed men have a lot of free time. And for some demographics of women, a lot of attractive guys in that group.


Yeah, if she’s looking for Mr. Right Now umemployed works the best.

How many of these articles are written by men?

To ask the question is to answer it.

Incorrect.

My sister was working a full time job during the week, a part-time job 3 nights a week, and selling real estate on the weekends. Her deadbeat husband would drop their daughter off at his parents and then take his side-piece out to hotels/bed and breakfast places. He claimed business was slow as his excuse for bringing home less.

Dumbass left receipts in his car that she found when she was cleaning it for him.

She cut that boat anchor, took her 50% split and their daughter, and moved on. She is now an executive making mad cash lives in a gorgeous mansion of a house in the Carolinas, has traveled all across the country, and living almost completely debt free.

He lives in mommy’s basement.

Another girlfriend had almost the same thing happen. They had two adorable kids, boy and a girl, she was working hard and he was self-employed and stepping out.

Neither of them had one foot in another boat.

Conversely, a male friend of mine was grinding hard making money for his wife and two daughters, only to come home early and catch the wife and her side-piece leaving. He dumped her and upgraded to a younger, prettier model a few years later.

POS come in all stripes.

There is a reason for everything.

One fellow on these pages said it rather well I think:

“Women and men use the same words but they don’t mean the same things to them. Further some concepts like duty, honor, loyalty, integrity, are largely male concepts and women don’t have the same views on them men do, in general.”

Perhaps, but I suspect women are more looking for financial security than good looks

Depending on the woman's circumstance and character, she is either looking for financial security or a darn good roll in the hay with a hot guy.

Like a clock striking 1200...a thread about men cheating turns into women bashing..typical for fr unfortunately.

I know, right? And it's usually the same two or three individuals beating a dead self-pity horse instead of working on improving their life-partnering skills.
