Yeah, the odds are pretty horrible to say the least, and perhaps the worst part of all this is the big old bag of regret and self hatred you’re left with as a parting gift for the whole ordeal.

Why did you post a question then answer it yourself with another question?

Marriage would be much easier if women would just accept that a man needs a side piece once in awhile

Approximately 50% of marriages end in death.

Lol, uh no, it's over if there's an affair.
Not true at all
I know several marriages that survived cheating instances.
Husbands cheated but never fell in love. It was physical. After some counseling, they learned that the husband was having difficulty with the marriage because he was no longer the center of attention and the wife learned that she was overly focused on being a mom and was neglecting the husband. Communication broke down and the husband cheated.
They are still married today- 25 years later

I doubt there's much hard data to support any conclusions on this, but anecdotally, I'd think they don't last. I just don't get caught and I'm good.

Those are just the stats for the ones that get caught. Lots of affairs happen and the marriage continues on

My FiL was a wise man and a pretty good observer. He said cheaters fall into two categories: when the new wears off and they are faced with their conscience instead of running from it, they never cheat again; others get that taste and they might stop for a while, but they hunger for that taste always and will cheat again.

Shania Twain's husband was knocking the bottom out of the nanny. The nanny would go on to marry her ex. Shania married the nanny's Ex-Husband.

I’ve known some that didn’t last long at all, and others for years (3 I know over 20 years for sure)

My ex wife married the guy she cheated with. She then cheated on him, and they got divorced. Then married the guy she was cheating with again. Then got divorced again. Why? Cheating
She’s chasing a high. It’s like an addict looking for the next hit.

No one here is talking all that much about women who cheat. But, I find that women can be just as unfaithful. Knew a guy who cheated on his wife with one of her "best friends" then left his wife for this woman. New girlfriend wife then goes about having flings with at least 10 guys over their 12 year marriage...said she could not get pregnant.....mainly because she was taking the pill the whole while and she did not want a "mistake".
He finally caught her one day when he missed a flight for work and came home in the early afternoon and ran into the guy naked in his kitchen and the wife on the living room floor naked and freaking out. She then tells him EVERYTHING.....dude had been getting cheated on since right after the honeymoon.

So what is an expert? Dr Madden?
A book filled person with a bunch of head knowledge and opinions?
The real experts are the one’s who meant and maintain the marriage vows “ for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do us part “.
People in affairs do not have the capacity to love because they are to self centered. They feel with their eyes and reason with their emotions. Selfish people rarely stayed married. They only create patterns of divorce all the while never reflecting on their own shortcomings and victim mentality.

cheaters will cheat again. I mean that is not some hard to predict outcome.
A majority of Americans are not capable of being in a healthy relationship because they themselves are not healthy and or stable.
Most people experience some sort of trauma which ends up defining them and very few are capable of breaking through that trauma to avoid perpetuating it on their own relationships in various forms.
Even those without trauma rarely ever know what they want or how they could ultimately manifest themselves in a positive way that would result in their happiness, so you end up with people chasing short term artificial wins (bigger house, better spouse, more money) rather than meaningful positive happiness through introspective reflection and self improvement.
I’d imagine that the population that ends up cheating is heavily inclined towards the short term reward group.
Given that when they get what they thought they wanted (cheating “better”partner) and remain unhappy are forced to choose between acknowledging they were at least part of the issue or just taking the easy out and convincing themselves a new partner would be the panacea they need to finally be happy choose option B.

You just described the generations alive today. We are a country of narcissists, fixated on self adoration like never before, and I’d argue there are none more narcissistic than the young women today that litter their social media with pictures of themselves to get reaffirmation, and that’s all they have to go on, but wait a decade or so, and you won’t see any pictures of themselves that aren’t AI generated.
It’s sad that people spend so much time working on the wrapping paper but almost none on the inward person who you’re going to be left to deal with when age hits them square in the face and they aren’t the center of attention anymore. It’s just an enormous mess, and the fallout in the next few decades is going to be awful I’m afraid. I don’t see anything good coming from it save perhaps generations that follow perhaps taking notes and going in the opposite direction of all this ME worship.

Nah, to hell with all that. Your wife/GF chooses to have some other dude bone her, I'm out. I don't give a shite what the reason is. Maybe you should have communicated your issues before getting the meat shaft of some rando.
I can't ever unsee that.

My ex wife has been married to the man she cheated with for a couple of years now.
Hopefully it lasts
