About 60-70%, I would say. Different age, time, situation get this percentage varied a bit |

Who the hell knows? It’s not something that people cop to or report and most marriages are non-fault these days so you can’t get info that way.
How many people were ever in a study or surveyed (officially, not in the back of a Cosmopolitan magazine) if they cheated? I’m guessing like me: none. I’m 52, never cheated. I will say I have always been shocked learning well after that fact in very long, seemingly very happy marriages that one of them cheated or had an affair at some point in those 40, 50 years. The truth is most people never find out their spouse cheated. |

I think a lot of this has to do with the culture around marriage and infidelity in particular countries.
In some places, marriage is about property and family. It’s accepted that the man can go outside for sex so long as he doesn’t do it in a way that threatens the wife and family. In America, I think the high rate of infidelity has to do with Puritan attitudes towards sex and idealization of love. You see this sometimes in religious communities — high rates of porn use and infidelity BECAUSE of all the moral taboos and idealization; also because people are expected to marry super early. I am pretty sure if you do a large scale study adultery would be lowest among a demographic that 1) marries late and 2) has highly educated, working women. You’re more likely to get a partnership based on mutual respect and respect for individual trust / openness in such a context. |
Lol. That happens a lot more than you would think |
Of course they do. Who are all the married men cheating with? Are singe women really lining up to sleep with a married man? |
I bet there’s probably an additional 10% of men and 20% of women who won’t admit it. |
You are so right! Married men usually cheat with married women. Single women won't bother. My exH cheated for 5 years with his work colleague: she's also married and with 2 kids |
+1. Ashley Madison does quite a business. These idiots perpetuate the myth that it’s safer to cheat with someone else married because they also have something to lose. These idiots don’t realize that this blows up 2 families in spectacular fashion. 2 sets of kids, 2 spouses now facing trauma. |
What do you think about an Ashley Madison regular working in a exercise studio that is pro-women when this married woman has had countless affairs within the community? |
I’d report her to general management if the customer base didn’t feel safe or they were losing clients because of it. |
Yeah. If it’s the studios image and her life is the antithesis of their brand, they need to let her go. It should be a safe place for women. If this woman has a history of banging the married men, her Ho @ss needs to go. We have an old married hag like that at our studio. |
| Dating apps have made numbers go way up with males and females. I bet both are cheating well over 50 percent. The people that say their spouse hasn’t cheated or won’t, are being naive |
|
Probably about 87.7% of men. In fact, men only cheat because women enable them to do so. If every woman on earth stopped dealing with men, who would they cheat with?
This worldwide problem could be easily solved if all women became lesbians. |
Then the percentage is even higher for women. Despite what you want us to believe, women do not have higher morals than men. Sex is easier to get for women too. |
There are more single women who get suckered by the butter-up that married men are simply better at. There are also single women who are self-destructive and/or have daddy issues and/or are afraid of intimacy that would be required by someone available. |
