What professions get cheated on the MOST?

[Summeroflove]

I see questions regarding what professions are the most promiscuous. But what professions tend to be cheated the most?

[TrimmedTip]

Studies and surveys suggest that certain professions do see higher rates of being cheated on, often due to long hours, travel, or stress. Here's a short list of those most likely to be cheated on:

Military personnel – long deployments and physical separation can strain relationships.
First responders (police, firefighters, EMTs) – irregular hours and high-stress environments.
Truck drivers – always on the road, away from home for long stretches.
Healthcare workers – especially nurses; long shifts and emotional burnout can impact relationships.
Night shift workers (e. g. security, hospitality) – being out of sync with a partner’s schedule can create distance.
Of course, cheating is personal—job type doesn’t guarantee it. But some careers do add more pressure to a relationship.

If there was ever any correlation, or study done I would say that it was coincidental and the result’s arbitrary.


I would offer that it would be couples who in fact DONT WORK and are not financially independent and so spend more time with each other bickering about what they do and do not have either together or separately.


I would further speculate that , majoritively, the people that cheat , aren’t doing so because of some deep seated sex addiction , but instead because they are either personally unhappy-happy , or unhappy in their relationship. Being a police officer or an accountant wouldn’t have anything specifically to do with it.

Good question... I don't know for sure, but I'd hazard a guess that it is any profession that involves extensive away time due to travel etc. (e. g., Military, Sales & Hospitality, Real Estate & Investment Svc, Legal, etc.).

Military personnel. I grew up on a base. The army wives were always cheating often with army guys.

[AI Opinion]

Aiming to sprinkle relationship wisdom on Girls Ask Guys! So, you're curious about who gets played more than a top 40 track? Research suggests high-stress professions like doctors, nurses, and first responders often face more heartbreaks due to long hours and stress. Remember, love doesn’t stick to job descriptions! Stay loyal, no need to become a red flag factory. 😉❤️

[Avicenna]

Military. I've seen it happen a lot...

[Summeroflove]

Same

[Tarifa]

I don't think there's a particular profession. But in general, I'd say any job that requires someone to work in different shifts, or a job that requires frequent travelling, puts one in a position where it could become easier. That doesn't mean everyone will.

[Nikki1989]

They say it is people who are constantly meeting other people in their line of work. I call BS on that because I meet men daily and have never cheated and never would.

[Summeroflove]

It comes down to INTEGRITY and LOYALTY.

[Steelcore5280]

Nurses are the ones who commit infidelity the majority of the time and rank #1 in the top 10 professions that get divorced.

Henceforth why you should avoid nurses.

[Summeroflove]

However there are good nurses. But I agree be careful. Cops and other first responders are the same way

[WhitneySnow]

I don’t think you can generalize like that. But out of curiosity, what do you think?

[Summeroflove]

That’s why I said get cheated on the most.

Military.
Stay at home mom/dad
Business where you’re out of town a lot

[WhitneySnow]

I guess that makes sense. Because of opportunity.

[Summeroflove]

It does. Cheating comes down to integrity. Someone loyal and that has integrity would never cheat.

However. Opportunity’s show true colors

[Flower7]

@summeroflove Why do you think people would want to cheat on a stay-at-home parent? They are there all the time.

[Summeroflove]

@Flower7 opportunity. Marriage issues at the house. They get bored with their spouse

[Summeroflove]

@Flower7 I warn people to be extremely careful before getting into these type of relationships. As there is nothing wrong witn them HOWEVER it attracts dirt bags

[molonski2]

Real estate agents
Nurses
Doctors
Lawyers
Exotic dancers
Hookers
Business people
Professional sports ( always multiple )
Air hostess
Pilots.


There are more...

[OneViewpoint]

Military. 6-12 month deployments are hard on the folks back home and there is plenty of opportunity.

[Flower7]

Women with jobs that required a lot of education.

[MasterKS]

@Flower7 interesting point of view.

[lorenzomichael]

I don’t think your profession has anything to do with you cheating on your spouse. I would say its the trifling un honest and trustworthy person that’s fucking up the relationship.

[Itsa85mf]

Service men that go to homes to fix stuff, people want to pay with sex, I was one and it happened almost daily

[Staximus]

I'm going with bartenders because they always have drunk people throwing themselves at them (if they are good looking and good at socializing)

[Staximus]

Wait, scratch that. Bartenders are the biggest cheaters, not the ones that get cheated on the most. For who gets cheated on the most, I'm going with military or cross country truck drivers. People who travel a lot for work. Anybody who is always gone for a long time.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Any profession that gets you away from home for a long time. Military, pilot, nautical, jobs, field researchers, etc.

[WonderingManII]

I'm guessing strippers at a strip club.

[Summeroflove]

A person who married a stripper…. Yeah doubt they have the best integrity.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Anything military tbh

[Briennette]

From what I've seen, military.

[an_nMary]

I think the military

[MasterKS]

@an_nMary spot on, thats what i experienced.

[Summeroflove]

Sadly yes

[Summeroflove]

@MasterKS a lot of those women could care less if their husbands ever come back. In fact there are some praying their husbands don’t because of what they get if they don’t.

It’s marry for the benefits. Even when it’s not about benefits when both people are away for long periods of time

[bananathunder]

has to be military

[Anonymous]

Probably people who work too much,

[Katrina5]

Whatever job takes people out of town.

[Anonymous]

Nurse

[Summeroflove]

Nurses go through a lot of shit. People hear about law enforcement, military, fire, EMS, etc. Which is all very true.

But especially nurses in the ER settings or pediatric settings. Horrific and trauma. And sometimes being married to someone whose not in the medical field or first response. Can be very difficult

[TempoComparison]

A masseuse for sure.

[Zylos]

First lady

[HДLILБΞУ]

Low-paid workers..
