Cheating Test
A gut feeling is not proof, and neither is a quiz. But it can help you sort real changes from late-night overthinking.

How common is cheating?
In the General Social Survey, about 20% of married men and 13% of married women say they've had sex with someone other than their spouse while married. Rates are higher among dating couples.
Signs aren't proof
Every sign on this list has innocent explanations: stress, depression, a new job. The pattern, and how they respond when you ask, matters more than any single change.
What to do next
Ask directly, without accusing. If trust is already gone, the Breakup Calculator and Divorce Probability may help you think it through. Also check for red flags.
