The image had been shared over a thousand times, and I am sure is still being shared. Sadly, this is not the first post of this kind that I have seen on Facebook -- they are popular on Instagram, as well. It made my stomach turn, and just thinking about it still upsets me as I can only imagine what his wife is going through at this moment. Not only has she been publicly humiliated by her husband's cheating, but she must now worry about the very real possibility of having contracted HIV.
The Birth of the E-Affairs
Thanks to social media, cheating has never been easier. Simply create a Facebook profile and you can connect with anyone that you want. I have read an abundance of articles warning couples to stay off social media if they would like to protect their marriages, and understandably, many of my married friends have disconnected from Facebook. I have had to console many friends after the discovery of heartbreaking conversations between their spouses and the Facebook friend of the week.
No marriage is perfect, it will not always be "rainbows and butterflies"; it takes work to keep a marriage going. It takes humility, sacrifice, and a lot of energy. But when there are so many people ready to swoop in and make themselves available to your spouse with the simple click of a button, it almost feels like it is an impossible undertaking.
I cannot imagine disconnecting myself completely from the Internet, nor would I feel comfortable asking my husband to do so. Although he visits his Facebook page once a month, and has given me his password and vice versa, I don't feel the need to check in on him, and that is how it should be.
