1 in 5 adults are in love with someone other than the person they are with.
Can you love 2 people?
That's right. The man or woman you are currently in love with, probably has deep feelings for someone else; at least according to a new study. And we all know how true studies are.
(The Frisky) A recent poll of 3,000 people in relationships showed that one in five adults are actually in love with someone other than their significant other. That means that twenty percent of adults in relationships are in love with someone else.
Let the paranoia begin.
First of all, I despise reading stuff like this because it makes me crazy. But alas, I write about sex and relationships, so this type of information is unavoidable. But I am only human (well, female so more like super human) and get pangs of insecurity and anger. Could the man that told me 'til death do us part, be getting bored with our relationship and starting to love another?
The poll only gets worse.
(Telegraph.co.uk) And the subject of their illicit love is most likely to be a work colleague or among their circle of close friends.
So you are telling me that while my husband is at work providing for his lovely wife, his chances for falling for another whorebag woman are higher. This is perfect considering he works in television and God knows the only people that work in that field are attractive women. *ahem* that is where him and I met.
UGH. I'm screwed. I mean he's screwed. By another woman. Emotionally.
OK I am over exaggerating. I know my husband loves me. Blah, blah. But is love really enough to overcome a new and exciting adventure. I have no doubt that most men cheat not because they don't love the woman they're with, but because they just want something different. But if you love someone why would you do something that would potentially break her heart and in the end probably get your penis broken. 'Cuz I would break it. In half. Lorena Bobbitt style (got that hubs?).
I guess there's no real reason to get worked up over something like this. Worrying or being paranoid is only going to create strain on the relationship. But trust me, if I find out that my husband is falling for another woman, I will take everything he owns and demand a huge alimony check. If that won't keep his heart where it belongs, then I don't know what will.
Excuse me while I go eat an entire pizza and start writing up a list of all my ex boyfriends that I need to call up.
Kid.

Oh, and if you would like to know if I would ever cheat on my husband, I would have to say No. I've been the cheater before and I don't like it. Not one bit. It not only hurts the person you're with, but it makes you feel horrible about yourself. Ever since that time I cheated I made a choice to never cheat again. And that is how I developed a healthy relationship with porn.

I'm not sure I see this statistic as negatively as some may play it out to be.
The real cause of this is too many people playing games with their own self! Honesty is something that is horribly difficult, but if we were able to look at ourselves honestly, I truly believe this statistic would only be a memory.
Men are generally idiots. And they don't know what "love" is. That's the reason.
I think this may mean that they THINK they love another person, not that they're in a relationship with another person, don't you think? But how could they really know if it's love if they are married. It's all an illusion if you ask me. Like how I think I love a movie star...won't say who 'cuz you'll laugh. :) How could I when I really only know their face or the face they want the world to see. I don't know a genuine thing about them.
