Affair town: Houston a hotbed of infidelity, with more marriage cheating than almost any other

AshleyMadison.com has some sordid news for Houstonians just in time for Valentine's Day: 'Tis the city to have an affair, according to recent data from the extramarital dating website whose motto reads "Life is short. Have an affair."

The Bayou City falls at No. 3 on a ranking of America's Least Faithful Cities, just behind Washington D.C. and Austin, counting more than 64,000 sign-ups in 2012 alone — "more per capital than nearly any U.S. city," according to a press release.

"Houston is the center of our own Texas Triangle."

"Houston is the center of our own Texas Triangle," said AshleyMadison.com's founder and CEO Noel Biderman, who was unsurprised to see that two Texas cities took high spots in the ranking. The Lone Star State is, according to the site, the "fastest growing adultery state in America."

"It's obvious from out data that Houston members prefer lovers from Austin, or San Antonio," he continued.

So if you catch your Valentine venturing westward on this holiday, then you might have cause for concern.

Miami takes No. 4 on the list, followed by Oklahoma City, Richmond, Boston and Philadelphia. Lincoln, Neb. and Phoenix, Ariz. round out the top 10.

It may be tempting to lose your temper behind the wheel, but it's not really worth it.

While Texas is one of the best states to drive in, apparently Texans need to pay more attention to their speeding habits and check their tempers. The Lone Star State has landed on top of a new list of states with the worst drivers in 2025.

The unlucky ranking comes in a new report by personal injury law firm Easton Law Offices, which analyzed driver data – including road rage incidents, speeding, fatal crashes, and more – to determine the top 10 states with the worst drivers.

Overall, Florida was ranked the No. 1 state with the worst drivers in the nation, and Texas followed close behind in second place.

According to the report's findings, Texas had 2.5 road rage incidents and 7.2 aggressive driving fatal accidents reported for every 100,000 residents from 2014 to 2023. Aggressive and careless driving behavior was cited in 37.4 percent of all accidents, and it was a factor in 38.8 percent of all fatalities.

Additionally, 1.2 speeding violations were reported in the state for every 100,000 residents.

Texas has previously been ranked the second most dangerous state for young drivers, in 2023.

But it's not just typical vehicle drivers that need to exercise more patience when getting behind the wheel – motorcyclists also need to be on high alert while on the road, and remember to wear their helmets.

"Texas also has a high rate of total vehicle crashes (3,966) and motorcycle fatalities (558), with a sizable 37.32 percent of motorcycle deaths occurring among unhelmeted drivers," the report said.

Houston drivers specifically have been called out in previous years for their less-than-stellar driving habits, and Memorial Day is often one of the deadliest holidays for drivers in the city.

The top 10 states with the worst drivers in 2025 are:

No. 1 – Florida
No. 2 – Texas
No. 3 – California
No. 4 – Colorado
No. 5 – Louisiana
No. 6 – Arkansas
No. 7 – Montana
No. 8 – New Mexico
No. 9 – North Carolina
No. 10 – Ohio
