Your Social Media and Computer Dos and Don'ts

I am married and I love my husband dearly, however he loves the thrill of having random women over the Internet tell him how they think he is fine or hot and he has crossed all boundaries. I finally called him on it and come to find out he was emailing them, sending them texts over the phone (of which I pay for), and nasty pics of his ... Well I am sure you get the picture. He was asking these women to have sex with him and telling them he was something he was not. Emotionally he has cheated on me since day one and mentally I believe had I not called him on it he would still be at it. Don't trust a man who is secretive.

How It is Working

I almost divorced him. And I lost all respect and trust. He even went so far as to use the Xbox live and Ps3 to trade sweet nothings. He thinks that because there was no physical contact it was nothing. And I think that if he could have gotten away with it he would have. The MySpace and Facebook and all the other social networking sites have made it easier to let the cheater inside come out. And men who feel less because whatever the reason use it to be king of the world ... while breaking the hearts of who they love.

Advice

  • I suggest to other couples either man or women if you have a gut feeling that something isn't right, it probably isn't. Body language, snotty voice, and withdrawal of your spouse is key to the actions. Even typing I am getting heated!!!!! Do not beat around the bush ... dig deep and snoop becauses as they say unless you throw it out there you might as well play the fool. I did
