Majority of Brazilians Expect Unfaithful Spouse? May 14, 2002 09:48 AM ET SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Only one in four Brazilians expect their spouse to remain faithful during marriage, a new study has found. "It appears that having an extramarital affair has already been incorporated into our culture, even if that's not what people want," said Carmita Abdo, a psychiatrist and professor at the medical school of the University of Sao Paulo. The "Honesty in Marriage" study published in the Brazilian edition of Reader's Digest in May, was based on a poll of 1,229 married men and women by respected pollsters DataFolha, also found that companionship was the most important benefit of marriage. The poll showed that Brazilians were much more open than couples in the United States or Britain, with only 24 percent of men and 18 percent of women keeping secrets from their spouses. But it also said only 3 percent of Brazilian men had admitted to having an extramarital affair. A separate study by Abdo two years ago found that 63 percent of men and 23 percent of women had had at least one extramarital affair in a country perceived to be more liberal in its sexual mores.
