How often to cheaters end up together successfully? Suiscalin: I just wanted some feedback as to how often a cheating spouse/lover and the person with whom they've cheated maintain a successful relationship. I've tried searching for statistics but can't find any. I found out about my ex's cheating eight months after it started and she initially moved out in order to more easily manage a relationship with both of us, but I refused, being disgusted by the fact that she would be sleeping with both of us. Any personal experiences out there? Anyone know where to find stats? Is it always unhealthy to move immediately into a new relationship? Thanks for your help.
Re: How often to cheaters end up together successfully? ga_sunshyne: Don't really know any stats. THe ow that my XH cheated on me with is now living with him. Or should I say he is living with her at her house. He still has his. Her house is closer to their job (yes they are partners) and it started out as a "saving gas thing"...mind u I only live a mile and a half from her, but he never asked to stay with me. And it's not fun being used in the manner that you speak of. My XH did that with the both of us. I was just stupid enough to believe him when he told me he wasn't seeing her anymore. Yeah, he was having his cake and eating it too. Yes, he was sleeping with both of us, prior to the divorce, during separation, and even following the divorce. He just seems to keep coming back. I finally had to say no...although it killed me too, but I can't keep operating like that. I would never heal and never move on. WHich is what I think he wants. He wants to hold me in limbo whilst he figures out the OW situation is going to pan out. I personally have not even dated. I am so afraid that I am going to get tied up in a rebound situation right off the bat. I just want to find me first, then maybe a new relationship and a new outlook by which to make it work.

Re: How often to cheaters end up together successfully? freckles: I read in a newspaper story that it is 10 percent.
I dont rember the story.
In other words the person my Ex Wife cheated on me with, her and him
have a 10 percent chance of staying together.
Instead of the average 50-50 married couples have.
I think its lower.
Why ? Think about it. Since she cheated on me and him someone else
they will cheat on each other more.
Re: How often to cheaters end up together successfully? Samarra: I never really listen to statistics since they differ so widely.....they can be skewed every which way.
Actually if someone cheats on me and leaves me for the other person....I prefer not to think or care about it at all. But yeah.....logic would dictate that 2 cheaters getting together wouldn't last long at all.
They cheat with you.......they'll do it to ya too.
Karma baby.....sometimes.....it does work ;P
