Expert reveals the five careers where your partner is more likely to cheat and they might shock you

From finance bros to those in the skies, some staff could be up to no good

While a relationship can come to an end for all kinds of reasons, it’s particular sh*t when it’s due to someone cheating.

Maybe your partner went too far on a night out and was unfaithful, perhaps they met up with an ex behind your back or it could be that they’ve been getting it on with someone from work.

And let’s be honest, from team socials to office link-ups, workplace cheating seems to be irritatingly common.

But one relationship expert has revealed the five careers where someone is apparently more likely to cheat on you, and they might leave you a little shocked. Or, you might not be surprised at all thanks to a particular scumbag you’ve dated.

Pilots and flight crew

Pilots and flight attendants find themselves at the top of the unfaithful list due to their tough work schedules, according to relationship expert Tracey Cox.

Their jobs take them all across the world, meaning they are far away from home and their loved ones on a regular basis.

And Cox says this provides an increased opportunity to be unfaithful as there’s a low chance of being caught cheating or being found out later.

Nurses and doctors

Medical professionals are under huge pressure everyday, with their jobs entailing plenty of stress.

Irregular schedules combined with high stress, long hours and a lack of sleep may lead people to make spontaneous decisions and embark on an affair.

Cox also states that the higher 'up the medical ladder' one goes, the more the 'God complex factor creeps in'.

This increases your self-esteem, and research proves that the higher your self-esteem is, the less likely you are to think rules apply to you.

Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs have made it onto the infidelity list as they tend to live lives different to the average worker.

Cox states that entrepreneurs 'like things done their ways' and are more likely to 'take charge of their sex life' in the same way that they do their own business.

Bankers

According to Cox, bankers, traders and investment professionals are all likely to engage in unethical behaviours, including cheating.

With how competitive the finance industry is, employees are likely to cut corners in a bid to meet targets and make profits.

This tendency to cheat at work may then reflect in your personal life, making you more likely to be unfaithful to your partner.

Teachers

Perhaps surprisingly, teachers have made the 'most likely to cheat' list.

It's not unusual for a teacher to experience burnout or become fed up with their career, and these feelings can easily impact their personal lives and relationships.

They also experience a lot of frustration, which they may feel their partners do not understand unless they are also a teacher.
