Today I think it's tied to employment or lack of it.

I'd be curious to know where the sample size came from and how large it was.....A sample from say, NYC would differ greatly from one in say..........Alaska.

There are certain countries where cheating is an acceptable part of marriage. Women are second class and divorce is out of the question or they will be ostracized.

I dont think you can compare without an accurate graph and alot of people wont admit they cheat anyways.

I think the amount of cheaters, and the divorce rate these days is disgusting to be honest.

Just my 2 cents.

Thats nothing against people that have legitimate reason for divorce, I mean if a spouse cheated on me I'm sure I'd want a divorce too or whatever, so no offense intended to you guys.

But there are a lot of people that get divorced at the first sign of trouble, and don't even put any effort into their marriage. It is supposed to be a life long committment, you have problems you communicate and compromise and work through it together. You don't just give up and head for the door.

But its a double edged sword, now a days its so hard to find someone genuine and honest who does take things like monogamy and marriage seriously - how can you really say you wont get a divorce, with the amount of people that are willing to cheat, lie etc.

Sad state of affairs in my opinion.

There are even some countries who punish the women severely for cheating, yet the men can have more then one wife themselves.

So each country is different that is for sure.

Most likely unable to determine the cause. The U.S. has some of the most lenient divorce laws (no fault). Customs in other regions in the world are more adhered to. In a society where they are globally more spoiled though, there is most likely an inherent reasoning that "the grass is always greener" or "I deserve better" mindset.
