What was said

""If you define cheating as engaging in behavior outside the presence of your partner that you would not be engaging in if they were there then I think 90 plus% of people cheat. Yes.""

Divorce lawyer James Sexton says infidelity may be far more common than people admit, depending on how it is defined. He proposes defining “cheating” as behaviour undertaken outside a partner’s presence that someone would not do if their partner were there, and says that, by that definition, “90 plus%” of people cheat.
