infidelity (20-55%), and domestic abuse (25%)

By the way... look at this. If these are the reasons women cite (are they, or is this both sides?) then even taking infidelity at the lower end, you could add this up and say 50% of wives are apparently getting cheated on and smacked around. But I'm sure you're going to explain to me why this cannot possibly be so.

Research suggests that roughly 20% to 25% of married men admit to having cheated on their wives.

Surveys indicate that 10% to 15% of married women admit to cheating on their husbands at some point in their marriages. However, because infidelity can be subjective and is often underreported, some anonymous self-report studies and experts suggest the true rate may be closer to 20% or higher.

Looks like both cheat at roughly similar rates with men only slightly higher.

"According to national data, approximately 1 in 4 women (25%) and 1 in 7 men (14%) report experiencing severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime."

Physical abuse is indeed worse among men though the percentage of women who are physically abusive is not small either.
