The Science Of Infidelity: 14 Reasons People Cheat
Maya Angelou once said: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” Sometimes in relationships people might be honest about who they are, but we’ll sometimes be blind to it, ignore red flags, or think that if they spend enough time with us that they’ll realize that we’re the one.
