The Top 10 Infidelity News Stories of 2007

As an infidelity expert who is frequently called on by the media to comment on popular infidelity issues and breaking infidelity news, I make it a point to keep abreast of all major news stories dealing with infidelity, cheating spouses and extramarital affairs.

At the end of each year, I review all the major infidelity news stories for that year, and pick the 10 infidelity stories that made the biggest news and post them on my website at www.InfidelityAdvice.com and my blog at http://infidelitynewsandviews.blogspot.com .
