One recent and heavily promoted episode involved a young, married woman:
Lauren Cleri, 26, admitted on air she had cheated on her NYPD cop husband and preferred an ex-boyfriend. But she failed a polygraph, and lost $200,000, by answering yes when asked if she believed she was a good person.

I d venture to say all parents have mixed feelings about parenting; who can summon up cheer and joy when we re about to leave for work and the kid decides to start a paintball fight in the playroom?
As for the last, I just don t believe it. Other surveys don t support it, either. This from MSNBC.com:
About one in five adults in monogamous relationships, or 22 percent, have cheated on their current
