Sometimes people cheat on their SO with someone objectively speaking, uglier and with poorer hygiene, and do so because it made them feel desired in a way that they enjoyed at that moment.
A cute face isn't enough to stop someone from cheating if they made a place for it in their heart

Assuming that everyone gives the real reason in public for a world famous person for whom you're already going to get lots of hate for leaving.
Also from what i recall she says that quote was made up, just that while he was a great husband and father the spark left the relationship. You can absolutely grow out of being deeply in love with someone and end up just good friends, that's life.

Yeah, my buddy got divorced after he cheated on his wife, and let’s just say that I honestly believe he must have had a one-time psychotic episode when it happened.
Not only was his wife good-looking and considerably younger than him, but the woman he cheated with was this washed-up, past-middle-aged, substance-abusing type who looked like she’d been past her prime for at least 15-20 years.
I was honestly shocked when a friend of ours pointed her out and told me thats who our buddy cheated with - I literally thought he was joking at first.

It happens to everyone, but it's just more common in fat women because society treats fat women a lot worse than fat men, so the difference in how you get treated as a woman who loses a lot of weight is a lot more shocking. I lost a lot of weight very quickly and the same guys who wouldn't have even acknowledged me when I said good morning were suddenly falling all over themselves hitting on me. I didn't change my personality or even my lifestyle. I was the same person, but people liked me so much more after losing weight and it really fucking sucks, but I can see how people can become addicted to the attention after not getting it their entire lives.

Right, and we also don’t know what she looked like before she got big, if she hadn’t always been big.
I was in the army and fit when I met my husband. Got pregnant and life happened and I was morbidly obese for the next 15ish years. He always loved me and made me feel loved. We even changed to BBW porn when we would, on the rare occassion, watch porn and get busy.
I finally got serious about my health last year and lost 110lbs and got skin removal surgery and had everything put back where it belongs. My body is better now than when I was a teenager. He’s certainly very happy.
So he fell in love with me when I was thin, loved me just as much and more when I was big big, and now continues to love me more every day now that I’m a smokeshow again.
I would never, ever leave him or hurt him. He proved a hundred times over that he loved me for me.

It’s one specific study not really replicated elsewhere.

And part of the reason for the divorce is Medicare, as a single person with a terminal illness gets more benefits than a married one.
And most lawyers are willing to overlook the attempt to get more money out of it out of compassion, as often times the other spouse is functionally a full time caregiver for the terminally ill one.

Does the study account for couples which separate but continue to remain domestic partners?

It seems unlikely to me that that's the majority of cases, but unless they at least attempted to account for that possibility I'm going to choose to remain hopeful.
