[QUOTE="MORS HOSTIBUS, post: 5754263, member: 101203"] How many times have you heard the urban legend "Half of marriages end in divorce". "So you -- you at the altar with your wife you claim to love so much -- you have a 50/50 chance you're gonna get divorced!" NOT TRUE. Here are the FACTS. I'm fact checking, I'm myth busting this URBAN LEGEND: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The chances of divorce or marital disruption increase with the number of partners. According to Amato, the lifetime risk of divorce is between 42 and 45 percent. The overall likelihood of marital disruption is pushing 50 percent if you include permanent separations that don’t end in divorce. The percentage of people who have separated from their first marriage is: 4% for people with one partner 28% for people with two or three partners 41% for people with four to six partners 50% for people who’ve had seven or more sex partners during their lifetime. So you have a 1 in 25 chance of getting divorced, unless you've fooled around before marriage. It's a scientific fact that women (in particular) lose the ability to pair-bond, with every partner they add to their "body count". The effect might be similar in men, but not necessarily. Men and women are almost different species, remember. [/QUOTE]
