According to research, chronic lovers are more unfaithful, but the opposite could also be true: those who cheat more often describe themselves as “in love”.
It would seem to be exactly like this: those who continually fall in love and often “fall” at the mercy of their feelings would be more exposed to the risk of developing new bonds outside the couple.
This is supported by a study conducted by the Universities of Bergen and Oslo, which analyzed the link between the tendency to fall in love easily and infidelity.
The study. The research, conducted on over 2,600 participants from Sweden and Norway, attempted to delve deeper into a topic that is still little known and full of nuances.
CAUSE OR EFFECT? There is in fact an unknown: it is not clear whether the ease in falling in love really leads to cheating, or whether those who have had many unfaithful relationships behind them rationalize everything as “being in love often”. The correlation exists, but the direction between cause and effect remains open.
Not a definitive verdict. Furthermore, the data is based on self-compiled questionnaires and therefore can be influenced, so it is not possible to draw any definitive verdict. A relief for the so-called “chronic lovers” who will not automatically be labeled as unfaithful.
