Though not completely to blame for your infidelities, your genetic make-up is somewhat at fault.
The propensity to cheat is partially hard-wired in our DNA, reports a study in the journal PLoS ONE. It found people with a variant of the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) are roughly twice as likely to play up behind their partner’s back.
The reason? They are predisposed to react more strongly to the dopamine released when risk-taking, and therefore seek a repeat of the thrill more regularly or intensely.
Five reasons men cheat (and how to stay faithful)
The dopamine rush isn’t just reserved for infidelity, either. Lead study author Justin Garcia said that individuals with the DRD4 variant have a greater tendency towards all types of risky behaviour, such as gambling and substance abuse.
Moral of the story: don’t marry a card-dealing skydiver with a penchant for needles (‘cause we know you have a soft spot for them).
I know my housemate is cheating on his girlfriend. We're all good mates. What should I do?

Nonsense! It's nearly always something much deeper! My latest book, "I Steal Wives: A serial adulterer reveals the REAL reasons more and more 'happily married' women are cheating" is a powerful look at this EXPLOSIVE topic of female infidelity. Research shows its not only on the rise, but rivals or EXCEEDS that of male cheating. And the REAL reasons aren't the typical blather you hear on talk-TV or read in the SECOND-HAND information of some psychologist's self-help book. It'll rock your world! Truly, you will never see relationships the same way again! You'll see them much more clearly. This book is the FIRST BOOK EVER WRITTEN on female infidelity from the FIRST-HAND experience of a serial adulterer, who cheated with the wives/girlfriends of over 25 married men (and a few women), and who also happens to be a therapist (never cheated with clients) and has an eye for patterns in behavior, but more importantly, the core beliefs that drive behavior! The deep and powerful insights of this book will startle women and shock men! And here’s a tip: Cheating always, always, always boils down to the exact same reason at the core: FEAR! "I Steal Wives" is a salacious, self-deprecating, at times funny, and penetratingly insightful look into what is now the very cutting-edge of relationships. It's the relationship version of "How to Secure Your House, as told by a professional burglar!" It will forever change how you do relationships and view life! Check it out now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble!! It's VERY POPULAR! People are loving it and it's selling FAST!
