In total, 367 volunteer participants completed an online survey. Of them, 21% either have or have had an unfaithful relationship. The majority (81.7%) were doctors. Men were 4.3 times more unfaithful than women, with these differences being statistically significant (OR = 4.37, p < 0.001). Of the participants involved in an unfaithful relationship within the work area, the majority were men. Likewise, those who reported having had sex in the doctor's room on duty were also men, with these differences being statistically significant (OR = 12.81, p < 0.01). The night emergency schedule was 60% more frequent in unfaithful people, and these differences were statistically significant (OR = 12.43, p < 0.01). There is a significant rate of infidelity in doctors and nurses. Men are more likely to be unfaithful than women are, and people who work nighttime emergencies are more likely to be unfaithful.

I am, therefore, going to order Mother that, to the extent that she has concerns over child abuse, obviously any concerns regarding child abuse need to be reported to authorities, but they must now be reported with a disclaimer [(Disclaimer)]: "The [c]ourt made a finding of fact at the conclusion of a one-day trial on September 10, 2024, that Mother has intentionally weaponized the [Protection From Abuse], I[ndirect] C[riminal] C[ontempt], and child abuse process[es] in an effort to gain an advantage in custody proceedings." Mother should then further inform the providers that: "Nevertheless, all legitimate allegations or concerns of child abuse should be fully investigated as required by law."

A camera at a Coldplay concert near Boston sweeps the audience and picks out a canoodling couple.

But as they see their image beamed on to the screen the man and woman do not kiss and wave. Instead, their eyes widen in horror and they break apart: she turns and buries her face in her hands, he ducks down to the ground, perhaps willing it to swallow him.

The man was identified as Andy Byron, the married chief executive of Astronomer, a software development company, and the woman was identified as Kristin Cabot, its head of human resources.

A divorce became imminent in the fall of 1986, after a private investigator named Keith Mayo confirmed what Helle, age 39, had been suspecting, that her husband was having an affair.

The other woman was an Eastern Airlines flight attendant from Middletown, New Jersey, named Nancy Dodd.

The authorities concluded that Richard Crafts bludgeoned the slender 5-foot-6-inch-tall Helle to death with a police flashlight in their bedroom, froze her body, then disposed of it with the chainsaw and rented woodchipper.

Two new studies find that women may be genetically predisposed to cheating on their partners.

One study published today by the University of California, Los Angeles Center on Behavior, Culture, and Evolution and the University of New Mexico says women have evolved to cheat on their mates during the most fertile part of their cycle, but only when those mates are less sexually attractive than other men.

A related study, which will be published in Evolution and Human Behavior, finds that women are more likely to fantasize about men other than their mates, but only when they don't consider their mates to be particularly sexy. That UCLA study examined 43 normally ovulating women.
