Can anyone help me, I am trying to find information on Spouses who cheat on their Husbands and the percentage that repeat another affair.

1) Is it true that a Spouse who cheats does it again?
They say you can't change the spots on a leopard...

2) Someone who is a chronic flirt, will they commit adultery again?

If any of you can help with where I can find statistics or websites that have this information I would greatly appreciate it very much, thank you and God bless.

I don't have any written statistics...but in counseling my counselor told me that the chances of someone having another affair after they have had an affair is fairly high.

The betrayer knows the feelings that lead to the affair, knows how it happens and should know when the red flags are flying in the air. They don't look at the red flags and will fall into the same pattern.

As for my ex, the woman that he was having an affair with, this was her 2nd sexual affair. She knew the signs and symptoms and just kept going on with another man. I even asked her, why did you have an affair after you already had an affair. She answered, 'She didn't know why'. She of course was mentally unstable...and she eventually stated that she was a mental case.

This is the same for someone who lies. A liar will always be a liar. They have the euphoria of getting away with the lie and it becomes a habit. The same with the affair....they got away with it for awhile, the euphoria is what feels good that they could hide the affair and steal the money from the family and have their deep secrets. Like alcohol....they have to realize what caused the affair and the symptoms. They cannot go the same route when the symptoms start to appear. They have to seek help, and get on the right track immediately.

Wish I could turn you to the statistic surveys out there...but this is what I have learned and have read.

Blessings.
