Greater Danbury Towns Make Top 10 List for People Seeking Affairs
A website devoted to helping couples have affairs finds that the more money you have the more likely you are to cheat on your loved one.
By Associate Regional Editor Eileen McNamara.
Some of the state's biggest cheaters live in our wealthiest towns. Some live in Danbury.
That's what a website devoted to helping couples have affairs has determined, anyway.
The website Ashleymadison.com, which provides an online portal for married couples and others in committed relationships to seek out affairs, recently listed the top 10 towns in Connecticut where users have signed up for the service. All are located in southwestern and western Connecticut and are among the richest towns in the state, according to a report on NBC Connecticut.
The site says the top 10 cheating towns are:
- Westport, 5.9 percent
- Stamford, 4.6 percent
- Ridgefield, 4.2 percent
- Danbury, 4 percent
- Trumbull, 3.6 percent
- Darien, 3.6 percent
- Fairfield, 3.5 percent
- New Canaan, 3.5 percent
- Norwalk, 3.4 percent
- Wilton, 3.3 percent
"The proclivity to cheat often goes hand in hand with opportunity. Those with discretionary income and freedom to travel are often the most likely to stray," he said.
His website site has signed up some 240,000 users since it launched in Connecticut in 2011.
