Stats on Adultery

Re: Stats on Adultery, eveyone who does it lies about it!

Is pity the correct sentiment?
Would disdain be more to the point?

I love the concept that there are three kinds of people.

1. Those that just take from you.
Interaction with these people will cause you to lose
time, money or emotional well being.
You will get nothing in return.

2. Those you can give and take with and you both profit.

3. And the vast majority that simply don't matter, that you will neither interact with nor do they matter one way or the other.

One aspect of maturity is being able to instantly determine what category someone
falls into and act accordingly.

As for maintaining talks with your spouse...as a solution..it'd be great, but that often seems to be the cause for marital breakdowns and cheating...the lack of conversation.
Indeed, I'm on marriage number 2 for exactly that reason. A couple years of not saying anything meaningful to each other tend to sour the relationship.
 
Not quite the stat for this thread, but still an interesting one.

# A lesser known fact is that those who divorce rarely marry the person with whom they are having the affair. For example, Dr. Jan Halper’s study of successful men (executives, entrepreneurs, professionals) found that very few men who have affairs divorce their wife and marry their lovers. Only 3 percent of the 4,100 successful men surveyed eventually married their lovers.

# Frank Pittman has found that the divorce rate among those who married their lovers was 75 percent. The reasons for the high divorce rate include: intervention of reality, guilt, expectations, a general distrust of marriage, and a distrust of the affairee.
