A study by a relationship expert in Sydney shed light on the factors that contribute to infidelity.

According to the expert, men are more likely to cheat due to their biological makeup, which includes a stronger sex drive.

Individuals who lack empathy are also more prone to cheating, as they tend to prioritize their own needs over others.

On the other hand, those with a strong religious compass are less likely to cheat, as it goes against their beliefs.

The relationship dynamic also plays a significant role in infidelity, with poor communication, general dissatisfaction, and a lack of meaningful sex being key drivers.

As the expert noted, 'Relationships afflicted by poor communication, general dissatisfaction and a lack of meaningful sex are at higher risk of infidelity.'

Additionally, a woman who feels neglected by her partner may seek attention elsewhere, increasing the risk of infidelity.

Other factors that contribute to cheating include contrasting personalities, differences in level of education, and a work environment that exposes individuals to temptation.

For instance, being surrounded by attractive people or engaging in deep conversations at work can increase the likelihood of infidelity.

Furthermore, a disproportionate number of men and women in the office can create a larger pool of temptation, making it easier for individuals to cheat.

On the other hand, living in rural areas can narrow this pool, while spending time in urban environments can increase the risk of infidelity.
