Longevity of affairs - 04/02/15 04:55 PM
I realize this will be complete speculation, but what does everyone think the reason is that longer affairs are disproportionally represented here? The oft quoted statistics say that most affairs end within six months and that 95 percent or more end within two years. Why is it that a cursory look at these and other marriage-related forums have a much higher percentage of posters whose spouses' affairs have lasted longer than that? I haven't done a scientific study or anything, but I think this is an accurate observation...This thought crosses my mind from time to time, so I thought I'd ask.
Perhaps it's because most affairs go undetected and the ones that do end up being detected are more entrenched?
Mind you, my WW's affair is still less than a year old, so it could very well end within the normal time span. If it does, even if we don't reconcile, I'll be sure to post an update.
