Miss Know It All |
Human beings
are not perfect. Everyone has flaws and makes mistakes. Some oversights are
minor, while others can be devastating. Depending on the seriousness of the
blunder, a simple apology may suffice. However, when infidelity occurs in a
marriage, the damage done can be more demoralizing because the trust is now
broken. Only the person hurt or affected
by the indiscretion, and the unfaithful spouse will have to work out the
difficulties on their own terms.
Many prominent
and not so famous married men and women face enticements all the time. Some
will frivolously put themselves in compromising positions, without giving it a
second thought and will end up becoming sitting ducks by individuals who will
set the trap, bide their time, and exploit those misconducts.
If you want
to avoid the pitfalls which can lead to adultery, the first rule of thumb is to
honor your vows. Surround yourself with people who will always watch your back
and steer you on the right path. Not everyone who laughs or smiles in your face,
pats you on the back or shakes your hand is a friend or means you well. A true
friend(s) will never encourage you to participate in precarious actions that
would put you, your spouse or family in an embarrassing situation. As a married
person, try limiting your social activities with your single friends who
frequent nightclubs, bars or casinos. Misery loves company. If you are alone,
know when to leave the party; you do not have to be the last person standing at
social events.
Do not share any
intimate details with anyone other than your spouse. If you do, the particulars
will no longer be confidential. All it takes is for an argument, a
misunderstanding, envy or jealousy to rear its ugly head, and everything you
have said or done in concealment might eventually become tomorrow’s headlines
on social media. If you feel the urge to have an affair, nip it in the butt, be
upfront and talk it over with your partner. When a spouse conducts a clandestine
affair using text messaging, email or a cell phone, that person is definitely
begging to be caught in the act.
