51 percent of people in relationships are likely to watch TV shows alone on Netflix despite promising their partners that they would view it together, a new survey has found.
According to the survey conducted by Harris Interactive, over 28 million Americans have already done it, the Huffington Post reported.
14 percent of people, who cheated, felt guilty enough to confess, while 32 percent re-watched the episodes without speaking up.
Twelve percent of cheaters, while re-watching the episodes, faked their own emotional reactions so as to not get caught.
66 percent cheat by themselves on TV, 21 percent in bed while their partner was sleeping, 10 percent while they were going to work, 7 percent in the other room while their partner was at home and 5 percent in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, 77 percent men said that they would cheat compared to only 57 percent of women.
