Being cheated on is a painful emotional and psychological experience. A new study, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, confirms that being cheated on and who you blame for the cheating can play a major role in whether you engage in risky health behavior. People who blame their partners for cheating were not as likely to be involved in risky behavior, the study found. It turns out, gender also plays a role in how a person reacts to being cheated on, with women being more strongly affected. This can lead to a poorer state of mental health that results in an increased likelihood to partake in the aforementioned risky behaviors.
