In all relationships of intimacy and commitment, why is infidelity such a popular act?

Well, there are lots of reasons. Biologically speaking, there are large advantages to discrete infidelity- seeking attractive mates can help a man pass his genetics into the next generation (ie have children) who are likely to thrive. For a woman, the benefits are more limited- since she can only have 1 child every 9 months, it makes more sense to pursue one good mate who will provide for the child, rather than multiple mates.





That said, humans should be aware of this, to help them overcome this animal nature. Infidelity is popular because the grass is always greener (or preferably shorter) on the other side.
