if I remember correctly, of affairs end up in marriage, and of those only 25% will continue on
The most commonly cited educated guesses are F.Pittman's that 75% of marriages that begin as affair end in divorce, vs. J.Baker's that 67% 2nd marriages end in divorce.
Pessimistic for everyone.
On a brighter note, the CDC says if you remarry AND both partners are 25+ at the time, irrespective of how it began there's a 2 out of 3 chance you'll be married ten years later.
