Robert Hughes Jr takes a look at current and past research on whether or not extramarital affairs are at cause when it comes to divorce. It used to be pretty clear to most sociologists – not backyard gossips, but academics who study these things – that while it is clear extramarital affairs are often a spark for immediate action, they aren’t really the cause of divorce as most social scientists consider extramarital affairs as being symptoms of a marriage already in trouble and the number of divorces after affairs was actually not really all that high compared to other factors.
However, recently, studies have started to show a difference in that divorces are becoming higher after affairs.
Interesting to me is that the numbers on people who do have affairs is much lower than what used to be reported, way down. Divorces are also down.
Of course, this may also be in part because the percentage of Americans who marry has gone down, particularly among the middle and working class (those semi-mythical one-percenters still marry at a pretty high rate but everyone else seems to have moved on to cohabitation – side note, nope, gay marriage has NOTHING to do with that particular deterioration or change of the institution of marriage).
