"Only 2% of MM leave their W's for the OW. And of those, 80% of the new relationships fail."

I've seen these statistics quoted many times here, but I'd like to know the source. i emailed cl-noregretsever, but never got a response.

HMMMMMM.....

IMO, it's kind of hard to have accurate stats on a subject that NO ONE wants to talk about.

I've never heard that, but I am sure the percentages are not too far off, esp. the success rate of the new relationship. I've heard second M's have a 75% failure rate, so that is in line with the 80% you quoted.

I mean, how can a relationship that began based on lies and hurting other people possibly survive in the long run? I know for me, the guilt and baggage would eventually have been overwhelming, though I deluded myself for a while thinking it was possible with exMM. I wish I'd come to that conclusion sooner...
