This isn't an easily obtainable figure. Not many people are willing to acknowledge outright their infidelity due to issues such as legal outcomes, family concerns and the fear of discovery. However, with a divorce rate of just over 50 percent in this country, you can draw some conclusive opions of your own.

There is nothing worse for a marriage then infidelity. The trust between two people is broken and that is hard to get back. The National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago took a poll and states that 25% of men and 17% of women have affairs. Sixty five percent of marriages break up because of it.
