I’m a conformist, even if I would prefer not to be

I like situations that allow me to be helpful and generous

Emotionally, I don’t like disagreeing with others

Sounds like you'd score very high on tests for the personality trait "agreeableness".

Yes, I score high on Agreeableness and Conscientiousness.

You are very likely to be cheated on apparently.

We're probably talking about that blogger who did a regression test on the MIDUS survey results?

Note that "very likely to be cheated on" is not an accurate summary, but indeed Agreeableness turned out to correlate with reporting that your wife had been unfaithful. (although if you're a woman the odds tilt the other way: no correlation for Agreeableness, and a correlation with reported husband fidelity for Conscientiousness)
