The festive season is upon us, which also means cheating season has arrived. Studies have found that more people step out on their partners during December than at any other time of the year. 85% of people who took part in one survey said the holiday season makes them feel more passionate and excited. They’re also more likely to be out and about, which in turn leads to giving in to the temptation to have an affair.
One man shared how his girlfriend of two years recently admitted to cheating on him with a random guy she met at a bar. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the woman said she only did it because she “wanted to see if she still had it.” The man refused to accept it as a valid excuse. But now his ex and their mutual friends are pressuring him to give the relationship one more chance, and he’s not sure if he should. Bored Panda reached out to psychotherapist and best-selling author Anna Mathur about how to manage misplaced guilt.
