The 10 countries with the highest rates of infidelity in the world is a list of ten places where you can righteously be paranoid about your partner ploughing another field, as the saying goes. Extending the previous list we had of the 8 countries that cheat the most, this one will present you with two more chances of your country being on the list and making you a tad more paranoid about your sweet significant other’s matters to attend to at suspicious times.

There’s a lot to ask for in a relationship. Depending on the person, there could be a lot of battlefronts where your troops might be slowly being overrun by too much demand and too little supply. Of course, there’s the opposite too. Sometimes either party in a relationship can just be too much to deal with, even if they give too much of seemingly very desirable things. Too much of anything is never good, and in a relationship you need to find the fine point of balance where your other half would be satisfied, yet asking for more. The same applies to them towards you.

There are also the ones with absolutely unreasonable expectations, the ones with the seemingly charming, humble person who turn out to be completely the opposite and the ones for whom the embers of a past fire barely twinkle anymore. For one reason or another, sometimes you can’t just break out of a relationship, especially if it is a formal one, like a marriage. In a well-managed, honest relationship where feelings, attachment and mutual respect are at play, nobody would normally get greedy enough and try to lie to two people at the same time. However, one can get together with someone for all the wrong reasons.

With all this in mind, there is even a whole heap of a science behind cheating and the reasons for it. For example, there is a theory that in an environment where a couple’s potential offspring would have a difficult upbringing, couples stick together far more effective than in the opposite case where if a child’s upbringing is a hundred percent secure and relatively effortless, either partner could start being interested in other people more than usual.

10. Finland

Finland’s cold climate and presumably cold people may just be affecting their relations to outsiders because there surely are some steamy secrets being kept from unsuspecting partners there.

9. United Kingdom

The UK’s couples apparently have a hard time staying away from other people because their homeland makes the ninth spot on this list. People there are usually not at all traditionally known as passionate lovers but that might have been an object of change.

8. Spain

On the other hand, unlike the people from the United Kingdom, Spain’s men and women are known to pour their fiery temperaments in food, wine, music and love. However, with a strong Catholic presence in the country, the topic remains taboo.

7. Belgium

Belgium’s people nowadays see extramarital relations as less of a taboo than in the past decades. With more and more people looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places, Belgium takes the seventh place.

6. Norway

Norway’s cold, harsh winter surely do bring a temporary cool down in people’s love games but according to a website catering to married people who look for an affair, the summer brings back their lust.

5. France

French people have been known for their passionate sexuality for centuries. In fact, France is the country where you’d find an impressive number of people find affairs morally acceptable and probably an impressive number of them having one.

4. Germany

German people have the apparently false stereotype of being cold and machine-like. Making the fourth spot on the list of the 10 countries with the highest rates of infidelity in the world, Germans sure know how to hide a secret.

3. Italy

The only surprising thing about the country that gave the world Giacomo Casanova is that it’s not further down the list. Italians surely do cheat a lot but what’s interesting is that it is also one of the countries with the least divorces.

2. Denmark

Denmark always scores high in the lists it’s featured on, mainly in ones rating general happiness and satisfaction with life. Unrelated or not, Denmark scores second on this list with almost half of the population admitting to cheating.

1. Thailand

Thailand, not entirely unknown for its booming sexual services sector, take the first in our list of the 10 countries with the highest rates of infidelity in the world. Quite simply, infidelity there is embedded in the culture.
