Kinda Scary... what are your thoughts?

Recent studies reveal that 45-55% of married women and 50-60% of married men engage in extramarital sex at some time or another during their relationship

70 percent of married women and 54 percent of married men did not know of their spouses' extramarital activity.

2 out of 3 women and 3 out of 4 men admit they have sexual thoughts about co-workers

Adultery statistics state that 85% of woman who feel their lover is cheating are correct. 50% of men are right.

But........

90 percent of Americans believe adultery is morally wrong.

And this is the worst one

Affairs affect one of every 2.7 couples

So if all of this is true then some of you who are answering these questions are cheating or better yet... Has a husband or wife who is cheating and you have no clue!!!

Your thoughts???

Update:

Cheating spouse statistics confirm that 50 and 70 percent of married men (between 38 and 53 million men) have cheated or will cheat on their wives. One study found that 2/3 of the wives (26 to 36 million women) whose husbands were cheating had no idea their husbands were having an affair - largely because they failed to recognize the telltale signs....

Thats right ladies... You all think men are stupid and feel that you will know if he is having an affair...

All I can say is be careful... now-a-days you never know who your with...

    Thats very scary...so maybe we should change our behavior and people should take marraige more serious. Now days it seems like it is taken as lightly as dating and people just go ahead with it knowing they can just get a divorce if it doesn't work out. It should be made harder to get married and divorced. I refuse to become part of that statistic. I am married and I will forever do what it takes to make it work.

    Yea, my aunt has always warned me about men and even my husband that they will do whatever their heart pleases. So honestly, I haven't full blown trust my husband with my heart and I know, it's really sad, but I'm protecting myself from getting too hurt if that was to happen to me.

    Don't get me wrong, I trust him to do the right thing, but seeing how some of my family members life is going right now, you never know when it's going to happen, you just have to accept the fact that it can happen to you and be ready for it. Open your eyes to see the possibility that your spouse can do such evil and stop being in denial.

    I mean, you can't be accusing your hubby of cheating all time and you can't go snooping around everywhere looking for something, you have to have a little bit of trust too =)

    Source(s): That was some really good info.. Thanks!!!

    Yeah, and? Over a long relationship, this is bound to happen. The other 40% either are too ugly to cheat or get divorced after only a couple of years.

    That is scary,its a bummer that most people,including myself have to come to terms with the fact that the person they married is a jerk,I have come up with a way to deal with this,I just assume that people in general are just self serving jerks,again including myself,its a heck of a way to live but it saves your sanity and hurt feelings,I'm not saying its right to except cheating but today in American society the statistics point towards that its the normal thing in a marriage,ain't life sweet

    Well all i can say is that my husband and i totally trust each other and we both know that neither 1 of us would cheat on the other so those studies mean nothing to me.

    Source(s): He is 43 and im 39. Together 18+yrs and happily married 17+yrs.

    Talk about statistics:

    1. 69,301 people died from diabetes, yet people still over eat.

    2. 43,354 people died from car accidents, yet people still have to drive to work.

    3. 13,322 people died from accidentally falling, but you are still walking

    4. 3,842 people died from drowning, yet the beach were I live was packed this pass weekend.

    My point is do we just stop living because of something bad happening to someone else if so we will not be able to do anything. You just have to have faith.

    Women see the signs. They just refuse to believe that is it happening to them. Men are that stupid.
