Am I the only one surprised by the stat on the average length of an affair, 2 years! Surprising somehow. Interesting information.
hcampbe1 - I heard that 2 years is the average length of time it takes for the emotional high from a new relationship to wane. After that, people start to realize that their significant other has flaws. Of course, when a relationship is legitimate, it may have a strong enough foundation to weather that revelation.
