Summary
Although there is a perception that extramarital sex (infidelity) is more common among military and Veteran populations, there is little empirical research to support this claim. Further, there are many studies of the marital stressors within military couples, there is little research specifically regarding infidelity. In this study the researchers examine the relation between being a Veteran, infidelity, and divorce.
