And since it is unlikely that the people having affairs are married to each other in every case, the current statistics on the percentage of married couples who cheat on each other means that someone is having an affair in nearly 80 percent of marriages." I haven't read the original article, but this does represent a significant increase over previous studies. However, the Internet has certainly increased the number of opportunities for people to cheat.
