People in Greater Cleveland are outraged. The local newspaper is reporting that a satellite company sold commercial time during a recent Cavs game to a dating website who's tagline is "Life is short, have an affair" Unbelievable... Here's a link to the article (not the website!)

UGH- I am disgusted!
Makes me think of an article on MSN 2 weeks ago- "How to leave your husband."

Not once did the columnist mention communication, therapy, or anything- it was all about hiding funds, make an exit strategy, and bolt.

I was outraged!

Couldn't open your link at work so don't know if it is the same thing, but I saw a news story on this site last night. Ugh!

The man running the site and making a fortune is actually married and claims he has never strayed....the reporter asked what he would do if he found his wife was using the site. His answer?

I would examine myself and what I did not do, how I failed to meet her needs that caused her to look outside our marriage. If I spouse is doing his/her part, the other will not stray...

Gag. Me.

As nasty as this sounds I sincerely hope she does. That site has destroyed TOO MANY marriages.

This is a MYTH that has long since been exploded by Shirley Glass, Dr. Harley and others. Harley found in his research (and he admitted to being surprised) that a significant percentage (I think it was 20-25%?) of affairs were by people in HAPPY MARRIAGES -- no serious marital dysfunction.

Yes, LBSs are always encouraged to look at what they may have contributed to the marital problems, and to address them. But just know that sometimes, it's NOTHING, other than a modern sense of entitlement and selfishness.
