I am starting to wonder if the statistics that affairs don't succeed are accurate anymore. It seems that people are leaving thier marriages more and more. Is it that all these spouses really just want out of thier marriages so bad that looking for someone else is more expiditious? They need to find someone to save thier hurt feelings?<BR>I don't think I will ever understand this.....<BR>I think we just sold our beautiful home so my W can go be happy with the "right one"<BR>

Well, we already know that over 50% of marriages end in divorce. And it is also pretty known that many people find it easier to leave when they have someone else waiting in the wings. So, your thinking is probably correct. Many out of that 50% who bail may have been involved in an exit affair.<P>BUT .............<P>I've also heard that 80% of SECOND marriages also end in divorce. I wonder how many of the people who leave their second spouse have exit affairs? And so on, and so on, and so on. <P>------------------<BR>Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to oust all fear. Love is meant to harmonize differences. Love is meant to bring us closer to God.

I think it's becoming the way of the world!! The most important thing is self gratification with little or no work or effort!!<P>All I seem to be hearing is "Everyone does it, it's no big deal" Oh really!<P>Call me old fashioned then, because I haven't said those words since I was a teen and wanted my parents to let me do something!!!! <BR>
