A recent survey conducted by DatingAdvice.com across the United States of America has revealed some of the common ways partners that cheat are caught.
According to the survey, among the ways include finding partners on dating apps while engaging in infidelity themselves, discovering incriminating text messages, stumbling upon suspicious items like condoms, hearing from friends and family, receiving personal confessions, and tracking credit card statements.
The survey also indicated that at least 83% of people surveyed had been involved in a cheating relationship, with Gen Z reporting higher involvement at 93% compared to 80% of millennials.
“Millennials seem to struggle with deleting suspicious content on their phones, with 40.2% caught via text compared to only 22.94% of Gen Zers,” the DatingAdvice.com survey noted.
In addition, 34.12% of millennials and 21.83% of Gen-Zers were either bad liars or unexpectedly honest, admitting to cheating when confronted by their partners about suspected infidelity.

The survey findings also showed that 16.27% of men have been caught through suspicious credit card statements, compared to only 8.84% of women, revealing a surprising trend in infidelity detection.
Imagine the sheer irony of discovering your partner’s presence on a dating app while you yourself are actively engaged in infidelity. That’s the surprising reality for 18.83% of women and 15.57% of men who found themselves matched with their partners while both were engaging in cheating behavior.
Does age impact guilt?
According to the survey, 26.01% of millennials admitted to cheating unprompted, possibly feeling more remorse, while only 18.17% of Gen-Zers did, reflecting varying attitudes towards confession by age.
“Physical evidence is one of the most common reasons that Gen-Z cheaters get caught, with 19.82% of those surveyed admitting that it’s a found item (such as perfume receipts, flowers, or a condom) that traps them,” noted the survey.
