Perhaps a seemingly unlimited choice of partner, thanks to the internet, is what’s changing the game.

Put down that avocado toast, because the latest statistics on the Millennials are sure to shock you. According topublished this month, adults between the ages of 35 and 18 are not cheating on their spouses.

We know too, that, in Australia, along with the rest of the world, the age at which people get married is now higher than ever – the median age is 31.2 for women and 32 for men. All of this boils down to not “settling” and therefore not looking around at 40 and wishing you were in bed with someone else.“Millennials are likely to have a lived experience of divorce,” says psychologist Philipa Thornton, who specialises in relationship counselling.

“Millennials don’t cheat because they don’t have to” is how Alexandra, 23 and in a long-term relationship, puts it. “There is a real culture of staying single and getting to know yourself before committing to someone. It’s no longer a case of marrying the third half-decent guy you date – our generation has spiritualised the relationship and ‘soul mate’ is the new ‘he’s tall’.”

“If my partner or I were to cheat on each other, it would definitely get back to us, because people don’t just know names as a point of reference these days, they know names and faces - thanks to social media there are suddenly hundreds of witnesses to infidelity.

Technology, says Lucie, can be a double-edged sword. “I’m sure there’s plenty of cyber cheating or emotional cheating that happens without a physical relationship ever taking place- like work flirtations, or in snapchat groups,” she says.

Maybe they've grown up seeing 1st hand what damage it does.

How quaint - 'cheating'. Polyamory is the modern way

...where do these stats come from?; how does this correlate with current STI rates?; perhaps they're cheating less because of their conspicuous promiscuity?; something doesn't add up...who's right...

Is this gay millennial couple destined for the White House?Pete Buttigieg is young, openly gay and the mayor of a town the size of Ballarat, but this Democratic underdog is now racing up the polls and could be the one to take on Donald Trump. Democratic primary polling would suggest they aren’t... at least this election. He is a candidate and getting supported by the media because he is for illegal interventionist wars. Pro Saudi Arabia. Pro Israel and pro wall street. This guy is going to kill the bottom 90% of America and advance fascism and authoritarianism. Support that ABC. It would be really a revolution, a breakthrough in civilization process
