I am blown away by the fact that it is nearly impossible to convince these posters that there is nothing wrong with them!


I would say that 99.9% of the time, that ^^^ is a ridiculous statement.

You're both wrong. Harley's research (and others) indicate that there are about 25-30% of the cases of infidelity where there were NO prior marital problems reported, by either spouse.

3/4ths of the time, yes -- the betrayed spouse has some 'splainin' to do, and has contributed to the marital dysfunction.

25% of the time, infidelity occurs in a marriage where there were NO issues?


I have no statistics, but I am VERY skeptical of that number.


I can allow for some cases where someone just has some sort of pathology towards infidelity, but otherwise, I don't believe a spouse goes a lookin, if things are working right at home.

Just reporting what Harley found in his practice, Bill. It is a myth that infidelity ONLY happens in problem marriages; Harley was surprised, too.

Don't underestimate the power of pure lust, boredom, human nature, etc.
