It's true Italy is a distorted statistic, I hear people just live with the lovers while still married to someone else.
This chart is allegedly from Wikipedia, even I as self-designated chief complainant against the b*tchiness of American women am kind of embarrassed that we are in the top 2 or three countries..pathetic.

Really shows we don't know how to get along with each other.
Here's some usual suspects:
(1) Sweden 54.9% marriages end in divorce (2) USA 54.8% then, going through basically all Northern European countries and EE/Russia until France at 38.3%, which is a little more comprehensible.
My understanding is in France they have a more civilized approach to affairs, namely that you can have affairs but you have to make sure your spouse is not humiliated and is given priority.
Interestingly Portugal is also a Catholic country, but I think Divorce is pretty easy there now, I read an article where the clergy said it's more expensive to change your phone number than to get a divorce now.
They're at 26%.
I think there's a reasonable "natural" number somewhere, maybe 20-25%, people make mistakes and if it was 1% or something you've got some kind of suppressive society going on ( like Saudi Arabia).
For one thing, in countries with no freedom for women there is little to no athleticism among the women, leading to less 9-10's except maybe 16- 18 year olds with good genes.
The bizarre underlying assumption that women are fully capable of reason and subsequent establishment of legal systems encouraging them to trust in their wild, judgmental impulses ("I'll show HIM !! You go girl!!") lead to debacles like USA /Scan.
Latin countries and Central European ones seem a little more realistic about matching the sexes roles with their capabilities.
( Croatia 16%, Poland 17% ( only Catholic EE?) Romania 19%, Bulgaria 21%)
Super hot chick spot Ukraine: 40%.
