Don't know exactly what your looking for...lots of stats out there. From some things I've read on this site and others, from memory, it appears about 80% of marriages survive infidelity. If children are involved the percentage is higher and if 3 or more kids are involved the percentage is over 90%.

Only 3-5% of affair partners end up married after a divorce and only 3% of such marriages last 5 years.

Nearly 100% of infidels that end up divorced report "regret" within 5 years of the divorce. Regret for their infidelity and/or for not giving their marriage a second chance (not sure it was one or the other or both).

I thought the following study to be quite enlightening so I am providing you with the link.

Good luck,
