Stats say that 1/3 of married women have had an affair, and about 1/2 of married men have had affairs - no doubt with some married women. I’ve heard that 10% or so of people’s fathers isn’t the guy listed on the birth certificate, which pretty much jives with that 1/3 and 1/2 figure of marries diddling around.

  For what it's worth, your stats are way off. It's a common enough error, but they're overcounting the people who cheat with multiple partners.

  The best long-term studies show that roughly 20% of married woman, and 30% of married men, ever cheat on a spouse during their lifetime. Sure, I wish the numbers were even lower, but they're not 33 and 50%, either.

That's fine, I don't doubt those numbers. Still, my point stands - there are quite a few folks out there who are wrong about who Daddy is.
