How Common is Infidelity? [lots of space left open. . . . . . . . . . . . . that's for sure!]
There's cheating - and then there's. . . Micro cheating is the term used to describe behaviors that aren't traditionally considered true infidelity, but that have some features of infidelity, like dishonesty and secrecy while in a committed relationship.

Should you confess to cheating? A Columbia ethics professor explains.
About
one-third of people have committed infidelity at some point in their
lives. If you’re one of them, should you confess it to your romantic
partner?
One way to answer the question is to consider whether you
would want to know if your partner had cheated on you. Surveys show
that 77% of people would want to know, but that still leaves about a
quarter of us who would prefer ignorance. It’s also worth questioning
your own motives: Maybe you only want to get the secret off your chest
to make yourself feel better.
It’s a difficult dilemma with no
one-size-fits-all solution. But fortunately, as psychologist Michael
Slepian explained to Big Think, recent research has revealed insights
into the nature of secrets, what happens when we harbor them, and how
and when we should consider revealing them.
