After going through a book on relationship and infidelity, I decided to bring out the following facts and post them on Love and Relationship, but then which of these facts affect you, and which do you totally agree with?
• More than 90% of divorces in long-standing marriages involve infidelities some time during the marriage.
•
• Nearly 70% of all married men and 60% of married women have had affairs (outside wedlock). That’s two out of every three marriages.
• Every ten to thirteen seconds someone gets divorced worldwide.
• 50% of women and 33% of men remain angry for ten years after a divorce.
• Women have more trouble starting new relationships than divorced men do.
• More than 50% may be involved in a current affair, yet only 25% cite an affair as an actual reason for divorce.
• 80% of those who divorce during an affair regret the decision.
• Over 75% who marry partners in an affair eventually divorce.
• The divorce rate and ratio of infidelity are much higher among marriage partners in an affair.
• The average affair lasts two to four years.
• If an affair becomes public it is doomed.
• If an affair replaces the marriage, it is subject to the same emotional stresses as the marriage but is twice as likely to fracture.
• An affair prevents binding ties from being formed. Eventually it has nowhere to go. Sooner or later it will suffocate in secrecy.
• Affairs die for the same reason as marriage, lack of intimacy.
