I am addicted to soap operas. There is plenty of cheating
going on that would make your head spin faster than a Spindle Top toy. It is
art imitating life. When you see two characters that are not in a relationship
and are supposed to be committed to someone else lip-locking, the witness will
conclude a kiss is not always just a kiss. He or she will become suspicious and
now it is time for that person to take action, either keeping the affair to
one’s self or spilling the beans.
What I find amusing, on some of these soaps, is how
friends and relatives react when someone close to them is caught deep-kissing
or doing someone else’s man or woman. Or worse, the person observing the
duplicity will become the judge, jury, and executioner; he or she will make a
quick dash to tell the injured party what they saw and give some unsolicited
advice.
In real life, many men and women cheat for reasons they
can’t even understand, but if I have learned anything when it comes to other
people’s love life, it is best to mind your own business. Never mind that
slogan, “If you see something, say something.” That phrase applies to someone
who is planning to obliterate the world. If you insist on being the bearer of
bad news, you will wind up getting your feelings hurt, or the injured party may
end up hating you for bringing that disloyalty to his or her attention.
Usually, the person who is being betrayed has an inkling
their significant other is engaging in deceit. Some folks prefer to turn a
blind eye until the treachery slaps them in the face. You can be a good
listener, but if they ask for your honest opinion, say, “Follow your heart.”
