When I first found out about my husband’s affair with his coworker, one of the first things I asked myself was: “Am I alone? Am I the only one in my neighborhood that is going through this awful crisis? Do I know anyone else that was cheated by her husband?”

Searching for a little comfort, I went to find cheating statistics online. Here are some of the most astonishing facts I have found:

About 17 percent of divorces are caused by infidelity! That’s an amazing number, considering there are so many other reasons for divorce About 70 percent of married men admitted to cheating on their wives! Another study found that 2/3 of women are not aware of their husband’s affair. I can relate to that — It took a long time until I found out myself — when I decided to check his phone.

What about the women? Most statistics found that about 50 to 60 percent of women admitted to having an affair. This one really shocked me. Are there really millions of cheating women in the states? I never even imagined these statistics.

I think that the first question that comes to a betrayed woman’s mind is just WHY? Why did this happen to me? Why and how could he do this to me?
