A new study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships has found that the negative effects of being cheated on by a romantic partner can extend beyond emotional pain to potentially harm your long-term health.

Researchers found that individuals who have experienced partner infidelity are more likely to report worse chronic health.

This effect persists even when they are in other supportive relationships.

This method introduces the possibility of memory bias, as participants may not accurately remember or may choose not to disclose their experiences with infidelity.

“The measures used are imperfect,” Oh said.

The study did not account for the timing or context of the infidelity, and did not detail how long ago this was.
