First off let me say I am not having an affair with a married man ("emotional" or otherwise) . Not that I'm judging anyone. I've made what I consider mistakes in my life. Just not this particular one. I am wondering how true this statement is these days? And how much do you think it factors in weather or not the affair is just emotional (which I think is somewhat silly to be honest) or sexual? I do know someone who is divorced because her husband wanted someone else and the someone else said divorce your wife then because I don't sleep with married men. So he divorced his wife, pays his child support and is in a LTR , living with the other woman. Is the idea "he'll never leave his wife" just outdated? Or does the question of weather or not the woman is having a sexual affair with the man figure in?
I don't know if there are any statistics on this, but from the stories I hear, it's still rare that a married man will leave his wife for his mistress, especially if there are kids and an expensive divorce. If anything, I think women may be more likely to leave a husband to trade up to someone else.
I had a friend (had as in not anymore) who kept getting involved with married men. I don't think she was looking for married men, she just failed to walk when she realized they were married. They didn't leave their wives for her. They bought her pretty things and took her to nice places. But she was just a pretty piece of @ss that wasted too much time angst'ing over them. I lost all patience for her and could no longer be a supportive friend. She didn't learn and the men didn't change.
For the most part, I don't think the world has changed enough for women to be okay with being strung along by a married man and actually expect him to leave his wife. Maybe they do leave more often than they used to. But it seems more often than not, the wife finds out and leaves him and then he hooks up with his mistress.

That brings up another point. It is also said that the man doesn't usually end up with the woman he cheated with if the marriage ends. I think it depends on both people's options (the mistress and the formerly married man)
I think more and more men are just opting to not get legally married, a divorce in 90% of cases only effects the man negatively not the woman. It makes no sense for a man to get legally married, the only reason I could see them doing it is because they landed a fairly hot woman and she is pressuring the s*it out of him to do it.
Married men, who cheat, are pathological liars. EVEN if he left his wife for his mistress, that means he is a cheat. They are hands off.
Yes, a poor bet, even if you get the guy, he'll do it to you. People like to argue that it isn't true "if he'll do it with you he'll do it to you" but most of the time it is.

False. Liars, probably. Pathological? Very few. Cheaters, obviously. As for hands off, there are plenty who don't care, and plenty who change their ways. Applies to men AND women.
