I have no idea where the 6mth figure came from but stats can just be made up and I have never seen any thruth in it from these boards.Sorry.
I just googled that and found some interesting research, but of course don't know if it's accurate or not:
Affairs affect one of every 2.7 couples, according to counselor Janis Abrahms Spring, author of After the Affair,as reported by the Washington Post on March 30, 1999. Ten percent of extramarital affairs last one day, 10 percent last more than one day but less than a month, 50 percent last more than a month but less than a year, but 40 percent last two or more years. Few extramarital affairs last more than four years. at: http://menstuff.org/issues/byissue/infidelity.html
It sounds like from reading that my H will most likely end his affair within the next 6 months or if he doesn't, then it will prob. last 2 or more years!!! Karen
