Financial Crisis Impacts Marital Affairs
According to a survey by Prince & Associates, a Connecticut-based wealth-research firm, more than 80 percent of multimillionaires with extramarital lovers said they planned to cut back on their gifts and allowances; and 12 percent said financial woes are forcing them to give up on the extracurricular activities altogether.
However, Noel Biderman, founder and president of the Ashley Madison Agency, a Web site where married people can go to find extramarital affairs, says “November was far and away our most successful month ever,” he said. “It all comes down to marital discord.” Biderman attributes his business boom to the sinking economy.
“In a more perfect world, your partner would support you and work with you to find new employment,” Biderman said. “In reality, people tend to point fingers, pass blame, and it’s really hard at that point to seek intimacy. They’re inclined to seek that in someone else who still thinks they’re the cat’s meow.”
