I just saw the post:
The chances of your husband not cheating in your lifetime is less than 10%, and that 10% will be due to lack of opportunity...
and I thought...
do you wish sometimes that your spose was cheating on you so you have an exuse to cheat back?

I think it is a fake stat. If over their entire lifetime roughly 50% of the married people cheat, 10% sounds untrue unless we assume the cheaters marry many more people and those who stay faithful never get divorced.

I have asked for the link to this fact in other thread so I am waiting... And Rick  |

Loony she admitted she fudged it. I agree with Rick. What's the point? Go be with someone faithful.

If my marriage had reached the point where I was wishing for my spouse to cheat on me....I'd just divorce the spouse.

<<< do you wish sometimes that your spose was cheating on you so you have an exuse to cheat back? >>> ...no... my motivation would be internal not external, were I inclined to betray them...  |

My wife can cheat as long as she brings her girlfriend home once in a while.

Some people have a very loose definition of cheating. Since "posting our private lives for strangers" is considered cheating by some, then many of us here are already guilty.

"do you wish sometimes that your spose was cheating on you so you have an exuse to cheat back?"
This reminds me of Mad Man where Don Draper, who slept with anything with a pulse, became enraged when he discovered his wife was cheating on him.
For many people, the fact that they cheat does not make it acceptable for their spouse to cheat.
No it does not make any sense, but there it is.
And no, 28 years and counting, neither DH or I are cheating.

I think those 50% of cheaters are comprised of the same people doing the cheating over and over again. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
ETA: or "what hootieman said"! ;D

I don't believe that statistic whatsoever. There are plenty of marriages with faithful spouses.

I thought about it when EX was cheating on me. Decided I wouldn't lower myself to his level nor use someone just to get even.

You don't need grounds and judges and lawyers don't give a shit about adultery.
