I came across a few interesting stats on cheating in marriages and thought I would pass them along for discussion and responses.
44% of women said it was with someone their husband knew.
The top cheating occurrence was Business trips.
The percentage of affairs that begin at work: 60%
Up to 60% of all spouses will take part in some form of infidelity at least once during their marriage.
56% of men who have affairs claim to be happy in their marriages.
Women and men cheat at the same rate within a marriage, although the reasons why women cheat are very different from the reasons that men cheat.
34% of women who had affairs claimed to be happy or very happy in their marriages
The most common reason why a woman cheats on her spouse: emotional satisfaction.
Men [74%] and women [68%] say that they would have an affair if they knew that they wouldn’t be caught.
17% of cheating spouses have an affair with one of their in-laws.
The percentage of cheating spouses who have a fling while on a business trip: 35%.
 
Interesting choice of words, "34% of women who had affairs claimed to be happy or very happy in their marriages." (Same for the male sentence.)

"Claimed" introduces doubt. Why wouldn't we believe people when they tell us about their lives?
 
I suspect women cheat a lot more often than people realize. Everybody assumes it’s always a man.
 
No surprise that 60% of affairs are work related. That’s the case with my wife’s first extra marital tryst. She was working in a coffee shop. He was a regular customer. They developed an attraction which culminated with a romp in a hotel room.

To this day I still masturbate thinking about them screwing.

Yeah, I think it's way higher than what is reported. The one stat that stood out to me was that 68% of women said they would cheat if they knew they would never get caught.
 
As a woman who has affairs, I cheat because of a lot of reasons. I stopped being seen as a woman, in my marriage. I became a maid, cook, personal shopper and all the tiny things women do that get so taken advantage of. I was a self cleaning masturbation tool for my husband. We haven’t kissed in over a decade. It was “take your panties off, we are having sex” as foreplay. Or just locking the door and putting on a porn. I told him no, but it was hell in my house after, think toddler getting wrong sippy cup tantrum, until I gave in. Now, I use toys to cum, turn around and let him have doggy, so I don’t have to look at him.

He’s also extremely controlling and manipulative. I know, why don’t I just leave? He turned my kids against me when I tried. He has stated he would spend every penny we have in court rather than me see a dime, after being a housewife and sahm for 16 years. I am scared to leave. I have been working but the jobs I have pay awful and the hours are worse.

Affairs, emotional and sexual, I feel seen, beautiful, sexy, desired. I feel wanted. That is what I needed.

I'm glad you are able to get what you need and deserve! You are not alone as many women experience that in their marriages too.
 
What I find is men are happy with their partners but they either aren’t having sex as often as they want or it’s become a roommate situation. They stick it out because they love her and they have kids. Sometimes, I suggest to them to not expect sex but to step into the dominant masculine and romance her. Take her to dinner. Don’t make her pick. You know your wife. You’ve memorized her. Sweep her off her feet. Make her feel what you did when she married you. You worked to get her, then complacency steps in and yes, kids, work, things get in the way and you take for granted the person you hold most dear. Women need to feel like women…

I totally agree with you. Having a date night with your spouse is really important and doing other special things together. I think also it's good to have some variety in the bedroom and try new things to spice it up, so it doesn't become routine sex.
 
Thank you. I hate having affairs, in a way. I wish I could be a hotwife. Get what I need outside of my marriage and not have to lie about it. There is an adrenaline rush coming home, leaking cum, and having dinner across the table from my husband.
I’m still new to this site but I see lots of posts and stories by men in sexless marriages who cheat. What’s good for men is good for women too. We do what we have to do. I have affairs and hate the sneaking around aspect. It fills a need and I don’t feel guilty about it.

You shouldn't feel guilty about it. You have needs and wants and desires and if they aren't fulfilled by your husband, you should look elsewhere.
 
I have found that it makes me more tolerant of my husband. Before his breathing would put me over the edge just the sound he makes. Now, I can handle it. I can tolerate it. I have actually been happier and more affectionate towards my spouse since having a sexual affair. My emotional affairs and my chatting does something for me as well and it makes me feel seen.
 
So my husband used to say it was the person who was cheated on his fault for the other person cheating. He would say oh it’s their fault because they weren’t doing something that the other person needed. Then he found out about an emotional affair I had and he couldn’t see how he had driven me to that point. He made me promise and swear that I would never do it again which I didn’t keep. I don’t think I kept it 24 hours because as soon as I took him back because the gaslighting in the manipulation, nothing has changed. I was still vacant inside.
 
Sometimes I feel guilty, too. I feel like a selfish person. I ignored my needs and my desires for so many years and I put everybody else first to the point. I lost myself. So me finding myself and having affairs and making myself happy and meeting my needs emotionally and sexually has made me a happier person. There were days months, even that I felt so ignored and so lost that I was just waiting to die.

I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. I am glad you are now taking care of your own needs. I'm sure there are people that care about you, probably more than you realize. Hang in there and do what you can to enjoy and have a fulfilling life! 😘 :rose:
