Infidelity and cheating statistics reveal 45-55% of married women and
50-60% of married men engage in extramarital affairs at some point in their
relationship (Atwood & Schwartz, 2002 - Journal of Couple &
Relationship Therapy). According to Menstuff.com there are numerous statistics
that indicate infidelity in various different contexts (emotional, sexual,
online, etc,).
What these findings suggest is that approximately one half of all married men
and women seek some kind of inappropriate intimacy outside their relationship,
be it emotional or physical, as most affairs are not always about sex.
