Have you ever wondered what leads someone to cheat on their partner? An expert recently weighed in on the debate, explaining how, depending on their profession, they may be more likely to stray from their relationship.
On the February 5 episode of the I Do, Part 2 podcast, host Jana Kramer was joined by special guests Dancing with the Stars alum Cheryl Burke and divorce attorney Kate Simonds where they detailed the "top 3 professions least likely to cheat," referencing a viral video Simonds recently made that said farmers, accountants and pharmacists tend to stay faithful. The expert explained the list came from looking at occupations divorce attorneys don't see as much as other professions.
On the opposite side of things, Simonds claimed police officers and firefighters are occupations where individuals are more likely to cheat. However, it's not an exact science. Kramer, who has experienced her own divorce journey in her past marriages, wondered how that determination was made.
"In my mind, a dude's gonna cheat no matter what they do, right?" she asked, adding how her current husband, who was a professional athlete and in the category of "most likely" to cheat, "wouldn't dare" to stray from their marriage. "So it's like, to label someone a cheater or not a cheater to me is kind of like, how can you even do that?"
Simonds agreed that if someone is going to cheat, their occupation is not going to hold them back. She went on to discuss how the conversation surrounding infidelity has changed over the years. Where a woman would previously wonder "what did I do wrong?" they are instead realizing that it's because "those husbands are unhappy with themselves."
"It always takes two when a relationship breaks down, but I think it's becoming much more of a positive spin and a way for them to move forward in their lives for their new beginning," she said. "To recognize that those men are unhappy with themselves and they're looking for something that does not stem from the fault of the other spouse."
Hosted by Kramer, Jennie Garth, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, I Do, Part 2 shares how finding love again after heartbreak is possible. According to the podcast description: "Everyone has baggage, but you're not bringing it on this trip. Second Times The Charm. I Do, Part Two... where finding love is the main objective."
In a December episode of the podcast, Garth broke down the "biggest lie" told on dating apps. Follow along with new episodes the I Do, Part 2 podcast or catch up on what you've missed at iHeart.com.
