Looks like you should think twice before playing on your cell phone while you're hanging out with your man.
A new survey by Victoria Milan, a dating site for married people looking to cheat, found that out of 6,000 of its users, 45 percent said they cheated because their partner spent too much time on their phones or tablets.
What's more, a whopping two-thirds said they wouldn't have hooked up with someone else if it weren't for the help of the internet and other new technologies.
“Like anything else that enhances our lives, technology is a double-edged sword," Victoria Milan's CEO Sigurd Vedal said in a press release. "It's a predictable, albeit unfortunate, commentary that modern use of technology has led to a kind of social isolation -- being alone in a room of many others -- that leads to seeking out connections with others when we are left feeling unfulfilled in our day to day relationships. One way or the other we need to find that connection.”
The demographic most likely to stray because their partner was snubbing them with their phone use? Women ages 30-50, according to the site.
Our Verdict: OMG! It makes total sense that cheating is easier with smartphones, but it's surprising it's a driver to cheat in the first place. What do you think?
