Here are some interesting factoids from our monthly review of Ending My Affair survey respondents:
- Of the last 25 women who filled out our survey, the oldest was 50 and the youngest was 30 – most are in the 36 – 47 range.
- The men are evenly split between their 30′s and their 40′s
- Although the most popular way to meet is still at work – some of the more interesting ways folks have met include:
= a relative (?!)
= met at a party – he was my boss 25 years earlier
= went to high school together / he was my first love
= hired him for a job
- Still, overwhelmingly, the women know he is married before they start the affair – this statistic has not changed since we started our survey
- For the FIRST time the “still involved” metric has outpaced the “our affair is over” metric. Hmmmm
- Still consistent: Most of the men were married over 11 years before the start of their affair
- Ninety percent of the men have had at least one other affair; 46% have had at least 2 prior affairs
- Twenty-eight percent of our respondents (women) have had at least one other affair
- Our favorite recent response of when he said he would leave his wife: When everything falls in to place.
Well, that’s specific, isn’t it?
