No , don't believe that , more than 50% are good people (good guys) .
and let me say something , if you know what he needs and you give to him why would he search for it with other women.
if you don't know what he needs or wouldn't give , why would you blame him for doing it with others.

No, I read somewhere that it is more like 60% of men and 45% of women that are married have had, or is having an affair outside of the marriage. If your husband is talking about that, maybe he's trying to tell you something. Is he wanting more from his relationship with you?

"Most affairs don't happen by chance meetings. Infidelity occurs in up to 40 percent of marriages. By age 45, two out of every five men and one out of every five women has had at least one affair."
I can see that we are not far off in the affair department. No need to throw the first stone.
But your husband has the percentage wrong as you can see from above.
Good luck with breaking it to him - he is not as saintly as he thought!

yeah , it's true. because not like before.. dating and sex with a girl other than wife is much easier than before.availability and surroundings are also good. But not 5 % ,i think it's more than that. Faithful to wife doesn't means dedication to the relation .But if get a chance for sex sure, the men or women will go for that. but the percentage of men will be higher.

Humans are one of the few mammals that are "expected" to be monogamous. I truly don't believe it is in the human design to be that way. It seems to me that it wouldn't be so hard to do if it were the "natural" thing to do. Being monogamous takes a lot of work and I just don't think that most of us humans have it in us. Some of us can do it but maybe the expectation that everyone can do it is just too high.

This must have been written by somebody who is out of the 5%.
The other 95% are faithful to their wives.

faithfulness can be of many kinds . One should not marry another and should also not have another girl friend - this is a quality of an angel and very rare to see. But faithful to wife means you can also have good girl friend with in the limits.

I don't believe it is only 5%. I know quite a few men that are faithful. I might be more inclined to believe that at least 40% are faithful.

No, that's wrong, it's the other way around. Only 5% of women can stay faithful to their husbands. Whores.

What do you feel for your husband? Is he in the 5% or in the 95%? Do you think what he tell you about himself is ok? Can he be trusted ?
Be Careful dear
