Most of the stats we've shared so far are about cheaters in the US. But the US isn't one of the most unfaithful countries.
Data from the Pew Research Center shows that the French are the most accepting of marital affairs. Only 47% of French people said affairs were morally unacceptable.
A 2014 survey by Statista also shows a more relaxed attitude in other European countries. Over a third of Germans, Italians, and Spaniards didn't completely condemn cheating. In Japan, 40% of people were okay with it.
On the other hand, the US is one of the least accepting countries. Over 80% of Americans said affairs were morally wrong, which is higher than in most other Western countries.
A 2016 survey by Durex supports this. Their data showed that Thailand had the highest rate of infidelity, with over 50% of Thai people admitting to having an affair.
Other top countries for infidelity were in Europe, with Denmark having the highest rates in Europe.
