March 16, 2018/ Jennifer Gunsaullus

More than 90% of Americans think that cheating on one's partner is morally wrong. Yet it is still incredibly common. So why do people cheat? There are a lot more emotional reasons than folks realize. And what is this new term called "micro-cheating"? In this interview on San Diego News 8, I share my understanding of micro-cheating in relationship to our current technology and prevalence of social media. Morning anchor Eric Kahnert also shares some statistics about cheating from Ashley Madison.
