The Internet Has Transformed Modern Divorce
stern writes "The internet may be contributing to divorces (thanks, Facebook!) but it's also reducing the pain, especially the bitter fighting associated with joint custody. Calendars are now much easier to coordinate, and if one parent denies a court-ordered phone call to another, there's no way to hide the fact that the call didn't happen. Because of these and other technologies, divorce has changed radically in the last ten years. From the article: 'When [one divorcee] requested court-mandated parent counseling, the judge ordered the two to use an online tool called Our Family Wizard instead. Now, lawyers supervise e-mail exchanges between her and her ex, ensuring that each party responds to the other in a timely manner. All e-mails are time dated and tracked. Parents can create a shared expense log and receive automated notices and reminders about parental obligations.'"
Not anymore w/ the divorce rates. Virgins!!
A "moment of weakness" is just an excuse a cheater uses. It's not the reality. The reality is either that person is a whore (it happens) or the relationship the person is escaping is terrible and they were already (consciously or otherwise) looking for a way out of it.
"Not cheating" doesn't take any kind of strength unless you are already tempted to be outside the relationship and using "willpower" to not cheat.
