Is it only cheating when it becomes sexual, or before? Is there a tactic that guarantees that neither of you will get involved in an affair? And do men really cheat more often than women? The single and couple therapists Anna Peinelt and Christian Thiel clear up relationship myths about cheating, which is one of the greatest fears in partnerships. They explain how many different forms of infidelity can take, how you can trust each other again after an affair and the reasons for cheating on your partner.

Thiel:
If one is unfaithful, the other usually is too.
