This feature from The Philippine Star, published today, June 9, 2011, caught my attention and pondered about it for awhile. The said article was triggered by the recent scandal that hit New York courtesy of Rep. Anthony Weiner. The once considered as a top contender to become mayor of New York confessed during a tearful news conference that he had sent suggestive photographs and messages to women and had repeatedly lied to cover up his actions.
Issue: If it's virtual, does it constitute infidelity?
Somebody, mentioned in the same article, answered with a question, "Would you text it, post it, send it with your spouse looking over your shoulder? If yes, then it's not infidelity. If no, you're cheating." And I agree.
Hence, cheating need not be physical...
Technology has made it easier for couples to cheat. What with the accessibility of mobile phones and internet these days, one spouse can still cheat in the comforts of their own conjugal home and perhaps even within the confines of their own bedroom.
Technology... tsk! tsk! :(
