Married and Cheating Statistics

[Blackbird93]

I have never physically cheated, but I would say that I have had a couple of experiences where I became closer to friends than I needed to and found out they were as sexually repressed and kinky as I am. We would end up sharing pics and talking about our experiences, but I'd come to my senses once any actual talk of hooking up started. I genuinely love my wife and know I would not find the love and trust I have in her with another woman, but I know her struggles with showing me the level of desire and sexual passion I try to show her makes it tempting when another woman starts showing me that attention.

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%.

I sure as fuck can vouch for the stats on business trip cheating. It's so tempting, easy, and low-risk for the cheater. The non-traveling spouse like me, at home minding the kids, can be clueless for years. A decade even.

Statistics and polls are so unreliable. At least that's what statistics show!

What kind of things?

she won’t do oral of any kind with me but at one point said she gave him a blowjob. She now denies that. She is so tight lipped about any details of her tryst that I wonder if she gave up her butt to him. I have never even got a fingertip in her ass. My imagination fuels this suspicion more than anything. It just seems like the most plausible reason for keeping things to herself and being inconsistent with her story. For example, she says they didn’t fuck but she went to get tested for STDs. Why?
