Estimates on the spousal infidelity ranges from 30-60% (men) and 20-50% (women). These are likely conservative as half of all marriages end in divorce and the likelihood of adultery increases with marital dissatisfaction. Women are more likely to cheat for sexual satisfaction and to feel emotionally-involved. 2-3% of children are produced through infidelity, many raised by the unsuspecting husband.
