Aug 26, Statistics on Infidelity

Current statistics on infidelity will shock you:

When you have experienced infidelity, one of the things that is the most threatening is the loss of control. It may very well be that assumptions that you have held for years were shaken up and torn down and this can leave anyone feeling lost and bewildered. Depending on the severity of the situation, you might even feel that you have lost control of your body; for many people who have experienced a loved one's infidelity, facing the specter of sexually transmitted disease is a very real issue.

When you start to heal from infidelity,

one thing that can greatly help that healing is through receiving information about what you have been through. Infidelity can leave a person feeling lost and abandoned, and more than that, they feel that they are alone. The feelings of isolation are deeply depressing and even though you know that other people have been through this before, that thought is often no comfort. If you are in a position where you need to think about where you are at, statistics on infidelity can help you get through this.

By taking a look at statistics on infidelity, you can figure out exactly how often this phenomenon strikes. This can make you feel a great deal less alone and it can also help you understand the prevalence of this act. If you take a look at infidelity statistics, there is a good chance that you will be shocked by what you see.

You may already know that about 53% of marriages in the United State end in divorce, but were aware of that 41% of all marriages have a partner who has admitted to either physical or emotional infidelity? There is more to cheating that just sexual acts; there is also giving another person the love or attention that your partner feels is due to them. This is a difficult thing to quantify, and it is an even more difficult thing to prove, but it does happen.

Another thing you might not be aware of is the percentage of men cheating versus the percentage of women who cheat. Although the percentage of men cheating is higher (57% to 54% of women who cheat) it remains a striking fact that men and women are equally likely to cheat. This can give you some insight if your spouse is cheating on you with the spouse of someone else, and there is a great deal of information that points towards marrieds cheating with other marrieds.

The average length of an affair is about two years, which is fairly stunning given how many affairs are one-night stands. This points to a shocking amount of affairs which have a long term component. This can be especially devastating for someone who has been cheated upon. You'll find that there are many men and women who have been in this situation.

If you have been the victim of infidelity, it can take a long time before you pull your life back together and feel more like your old self. Keep these statistics in mind and remember that above all, you are not alone!
