[quote]In a study of 2000 American adults, [B]12 percent confessed to watching ahead on TV shows they were supposed to save to watch with their partners.[/B] Ten percent admitted to being the victim of Netflix adultery, which means either 2 percent are blissfully unaware of their partners' indiscretions, or the cheaters are hitting multiple victims. Of those who cheated, 66 percent did so "at home by themselves on the main TV." A shocking 21 percent confessed to watching in bed while their significant other slept. (This is my modus operandi, and it is shameful.) Forty-one percent of cheaters refrained from revealing spoilers; 12 percent would rewatch and "fake it" in their reactions; 14 percent felt so guilty they confessed to cheating. Seventy-seven percent of men ages 18 to 34 said they would cheat, whereas only 57 percent of women that age said they would. As for people actually in relationships (not all of the men and women were), [B]51 percent of committed adults said they had or would commit Netflix adultery, if the moment was right and Netflix was looking particularly foxy that night.[/B][/quote] [url]http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/05/netflix-adultery-afflicts-half-of-relationships.html[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQldnFX_uOQ[/media]
Oh god ban this moral filth which poisons relationships!
The toughest part of breaking up with someone is knowing that they still have your Netflix password.
the worst part is when it's a bad episode/movie and you are forced to rewatch it again

I am supposed to wait until August to watch the new season of Arrested Development because my fiance wants to watch it with me. I am not going to.
Netflix adultery? Gah, such disgusting words; did an Amish guy write this or something? I mean seriously now; adultery is a word for luddites and archaic historical dramatists. But regardless, watching something on Netflix before watching it with someone else is in no way even relatable to betraying the intimate trust of your significant other by fooling around with someone other than whom you're "committed" to.

I fail to see the problem with watching ahead.
It's not something meant to take seriously, ayayaya. This whole thing is funny.

Not surprised. Hard to not watch a good show when the next episode is right there.
