Infidelity is commonly equated with extramarital sex, but it's really much more than that.
Many marriages do not recover from affairs at all, but at least one-third do find some way to rebuild trust and happiness after an affair.
Infidelity is one of the leading causes of divorce, and two-thirds of all marriages that suffer from infidelity end in divorce.
Many husbands and wives, on finding out that their partner has been unfaithful, later sat that it's not the fact that their partner had sex with someone else that really upsets them.
Contrary to the popular perception, infidelity doesn't always involve the wife sitting at home waiting for the philandering husband to come home.
One of the most devastating things that can happen in a marriage is infidelity by one of the partners.
Since two-thirds of marriages that experience infidelity end in divorce, it's a good idea to look at the reasons women give for cheating.
Studies show that 55-65% of men cheat on their wives, with some statistics even going as high as 75%.
Infidelity is, essentially, breaking a promise.
Around 70% of women and 60% of men say they never knew that their spouse was cheating on them.
Infidelity is astonishingly common among contemporary marriages.
Few things can match the pain of finding out that your spouse has been unfaithful to you.
