December 27, 2007
This is the 4th annual list of top 10 infidelity news stories for the year compiled by New York-based infidelity expert Ruth Houston, founder of www.InfidelityAdvice.com
and author of Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs. Last year’s list was dominated by same-sex infidelity. In previous years, it was celebrity infidelity, female infidelity and workplace infidelity. This year, infidelity among presidential candidates, local politicians, and government officials figured prominently in the news.
Houston, a New York-based infidelity expert, is frequently called on by the media to comment on popular infidelity issues and infidelity-related breaking news. Below are Ruth Houston’s picks for the Top 10 Infidelity News Stories of 2007:
1. Deborah Jeane Palfrey, a.k.a. the D.C. Madam, accused of running an elite prostitution ring in Washington, D.C, released the phone records of her client list which included Randall Tobias, Senator David Vitter, Harlan K. Ullman and other very prominent (and very married) government officials who were allegedly cheating on their wives.
2. Presidential Candidates, Infidelity and Extramarital Affairs - The infidelity experiences and opinions of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain, and presidential hopeful, Newt Gingrich provided the media with a steady supply of material for news stories in 2007.
3. NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak, a married mother of three, charged with the attempted murder of her romantic rival for the affections of a fellow astronaut, sparked nationwide discussions on workplace affairs and workplace romance.
4. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s public apology for having an affair with his former appointments secretary, the wife of his good friend and campaign manager.
5. iVillage / MSNBC’s Lust, Love and Loyalty survey which revealed that nearly 1 in 4 married adults has cheated on their spouse, that 75% of affair partners are friends and co-workers, and that less than 30% of cheaters get caught.
6. Summer Infidelity Awareness Campaign by infidelity expert Ruth Houston, founder of InfidelityAdvice.com, which focused national attention on the increase in infidelity during the summer months, the 3 types of men who have summer affairs, and exposed the tactics used by cheating men to conceal their summer affairs.
7. The Woman’s Day / AOL poll which found that 84% of wives would want to be told if their spouses are cheating, and 31% suspected, but were unable to prove that their husbands were cheating.
8. Senator Larry Craig’s arrest for his attempts at same-sex infidelity by allegedly trying to initiate sexual encounters with men in a public restroom at a Minneapolis airport.
9. Leroy Greer’s $1 million lawsuit against 1-800-Flowers for exposing his infidelity, when their thank-you note to him for the $100 in roses he sent his mistress was intercepted by his wife.
10. Dina Matos McGreevey’s book Silent Partner, in which she maintains that she was an unsuspecting victim of same-sex infidelity, because like most wives of gay married men, she had no idea of ex-husband James McGreevey’s true sexual orientation.
