Why did you get these ideas from? Do you have any data to back up your assertions? Even if these relationships exist, I seriously doubt they are as strong as you suggest. Even if you did find significant effects, those effects would allow you to make conclusions about groups, not individuals. Finally, regarding the whole thread, NOTHING is a statistical inevitability- not even your own death.
EDIT: My comments are not meant as an attack. I just see a lot of people throwing around "statistics" without any evidence and sometimes without an understanding of what statistics mean. CityOfAngels, if you are interested in empirical studies examining sexual and emotional infidelity, PM me and I can send you a few references.
