The other day at yoga I heard this conversation,
“My husband cheats on me with fruits.” Said yogi #1.
“Fruits? Come on! How?” asked yogi #2
“Easy, he starts with Apple, then switches to Blackberry.”
I know, it sounds funny until it happens to you, or to me or to anyone else. Internet or media cheating is reaching epidemic proportions. Even if the culprits never physically carry out the affair, the intentions and the lack of regard for the mate’s feelings are enough to send some of us running for the door or for the divorce lawyer’s office.
I am single so if there is cheating going on at least it would not be in my own home, on my monthly Internet fees. I can only imagine the sense of betrayal when you discover that your sweet wife is flirting with her old high school crush while you are at work and the kids are in school. Puts a new twist to that afternoon delight song.
That type of cheating is hard to discover because cheaters tend to keep their ‘fruits’ close to their chest and the conversation can take place anywhere, anytime as long as wireless connection is available. I don’t want to dwell on these negative thoughts, if you do suspects your spouse/mate of Internet cheating, you can start by getting a copy of the cellular phone bill, I assume you two share that and if there are too many calls to the same phone # at a time of the day when s/he is supposed to be busy at work or better yet, sleeping next to you, maybe it is worth pursuing. Please, do not jump to conclusions. Maybe there is a very simple and innocent explanation for the calls, but once you make an accusation, the whole relationship changes forever.
Like Ronald Firbank said: You can’t judge Egypt by Aida.
