[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first google search said 50-60% of men and 40-50% of women cheat.  Some as low as 25% and as high as 75% so who knows but from what I have seen 50% seems right.  Assume the question is cheating at any point in a marriage and not at one given moment

These numbers seem very high.

I can only think of a handful of people I know who cheated on a spouse.  [/quote]

One study found from doing genetic testing that approximately [b]30% of second/middle children in NON-divorced homes were NOT fathered by the husband to the child's mother.[/b] In other words, there is a significant amount of paternity fraud being committed in non-divorced households. Women are just as likely to cheat as men.[/quote]

I find this extremely hard to believe.  One out of three second children were not fathered by the spouse?  Come on.[/quote]

That's a little high, but I believe it's a significant number. One of my friends actually told me her grown son wasn't her first husbands. I nearly fell down, never would have dreamed she'd do something like that. I have a family member whose girlfriend claimed the child was his. He never did dna, but oddly the kid looks like the guy she was also seeing. He still had to pay child support because he was the "legal father". Everyone should get DNA at birth so people don't get conned.
