Not all Men care about themselves and sex, just because your dad did it don't mean all men are like that. You shouldn't base it off of a percentage...What you should do is base a marriage off of Trust, honesty, respect, love, communication and all the other things that comes a long with a marriage......there are many women out there that are with men and have not been divorced...maybe you should sit down and talk with your dad to find out why is he doing this. Maybe something in his childhood made him this way but that does not mean that you are going to be that way.....

Don't allow other people mistakes dictate your future. Ya I'll say it most men cheat but not all. I know because I'm one that doesn't
all relationships and marriages will have problems but it's how the two of handle those issues don't bring family members into your problems unless things get totally out of control other than that your family members didn't put the two of you together don't allow them to take you apart. Good relationships or marriages don't happen over night it takes a lot of work like a nine to five. To some it all up if you were to get married there is a 70percent chance you will get divorced but don't worry about the odds enjoy life give it your all trials and tribulations will come and go stay focused and always put GOD first. Peace

Over 50% of marriages in the US end up in divorce. This was an old percentage that I heard about five years ago...I'm sure it is probably higher. Having a marriage that lasts in very hard...it can happen but, you need to be willing to Make it happen! taht means trying new things to keep both partners interested and "changing with your partner" You need to be willing to grow and change together...if you aren't, then there is no chance of it working.

Sorry I have no idea what the % is. Marriage, or a long term relationship in general, is risky. There's a good chance that you'll get burned. It doesn't mean you shouldn't atleast 'try' to find the guy that's right for you. ie: One who doesn't cheat, among other qualities.
