Divorce Rate for Cheaters?

I was just wondering if anyone had any statistics on the divorce rate of an ex-spouse that cheated and then married her lover. My STBX is planning on marrying the man of her dreams as soon as the ink is dry on our divorce. He works overseas and they have only met for one lost weekend and have remained in phone contact since. She says she is in love, etc but I want some idea of how likely this new marriage will collapse and I'll have to save my step-daughter.

Considering they only spent one lost weekend together, I would think that the marriage will fail sooner than you think. They had not even had the chance to get to know each other or the quirks that everyone has. You will probably have to save your step daughter since her mother is really not putting her child first and considering how she may be feeling about the whole situation.

I give it less than 6 months, and I don't bet. One weekend does not a lifetime make.
I am glad to see someone is thinking about that little girl. See if she, the mom, will let you spend some time with her, the little one, before she takes her overseas. Is her father active in her life? If not, maybe you can try for temporary custidy or something, if that is something you have thought about.

The bio dad hasn't seen her since she was 10 months but has always paid child support. Fortunately she is surrounded by her Aunt, Uncle, Grandmother, and Grandfather. We have a pact that they will watch her for me during this roller coaster. The law is very clear on my rights and Karyn always wanted to keep bio-dad's support coming so she wouldn't let me adopt. As far as her fling goes, they are already suspicious of each other's motives and past indescretions. I could say something to the new guy but I don't think he'll listen. Besides, he helped me escape from that lying, cheating wench. Nobody can say I abandoned her!

Being a stepparent can suck alot of the time, when it comes to what we can do, legally, even if it is in the best interest of the child.
I am glad you are away from the mom, you didn't need taht in your life. I just feel bad for the kids in these situations, to be taken away from a parental figure that really loves them.

Beleive it or not, I only knew my husband a short time before we married and it lasted over 7 years, so you never know what will happen!
