How not to cheat

There's so much in the news these days about cheating that you have to wonder just how these morons manage to get caught so often. That's why I smirked when I read this post from my girls over at The Frisky called "Dating Don'ts: How Not to Cheat (Or Seem Like You Are)." Yes Madonna and A-Rod, Sienna and Balthazar, take note: "if you’re going to step out, at least have a little consideration for your main squeeze and don’t get caught."

For example, all text messaging is good for is leaving a sordid trail of evidence behind you. Then there's the old teacher's pet scenario. Can we say Debra Lafave and Mary Kay LeTourneau? "...since teenage boys aren’t really discrete," is it any wonder these cradle robbers got outed and punished (deservedly) for their crimes? And of course, everyone's been keeping tabs on the nanny diaries. Says their blogger, "Much like hooking up with a member of the family, these affairs inevitably get found out and are messier than anything you’d find in a nappy." That's right. Whether you're Woody Allen trying to date your daughter Soon Yi on the sly, or Ethan Hawk dissing your bride Uma Thurman for the painfully mousy in contrast hired help, you will inevitably get busted.

What are your favorite "you deserve to get caught you dumbass" mistakes? Personally, I'm gonna have to go with blowing vast amounts of cash on hookers and praying your wife (not to mention the voting public) doesn't notice, Spitzer.

    I think former President Bill Clinton made some dumb ass mistakes. He was just downright brave. I mean, he whored around on Hillary in the White House! If he was going to do that why didn't he meet her somewhere other than "The White House?" That's like finding your husband in your own damn bed with his mistress. Don't get me wrong, I loved Mr. Clinton as a President, he did a good job, but, he sure can't have an affair without getting caught

    well i think that if your going to cheat then you have no reason to be with the person you're cheating on but if you just so happen to want to do it like that at least do it right and not get caught trust me it's not that hard to sneak around you just got to be smart. Look i'ma give you one vital tip dont leave any trace of any kind of communication what so ever because if you do the only thing left to do to catch you is put you with the dother person but thats all i can say for now but if you want more tips hit me up at my E-mail lilLoCa_Longo@yahoo.com

    Here's one from personal experience: When your significant other has caught you in lies about people or happenings in the PAST; and she agrees to buy you a phone and provide service for your own number on HER bill...for the SOLE purpose of you letting her monitor your phone activity because YOU say YOU WANT TO PROVE YOURSELF AND EARN BACK HER TRUST...

    DO NOT TEXT, CALL AND RECEIVE CALLS FROM OTHER WOMEN BECAUSE THEY WILL ALL BE ON THE PHONE BILL.

    BECAUSE IN "HER" EDUCATED, COMMON SENSE AND FED UP W/YOU... OPINION YOU WILL APPEAR MENTALLY CHALLENGED OR JUST OBNOXIOUSLY ARROGANT. IF THIS DOES HAPPEN, YOU WILL NEED TO BE PREPARED TO PAY YOUR OWN WAY AND SINCE YOU CANT MANAGE MONEY..FIND ANOTHER FOOL.

    ***(When she checks out the strange numbers and questions you..DON'T SAY "I DON'T KNOW I DIDN'T CALL ANY WOMAN NAMED SABRINA".)

    I think that men may be a little more stupid in this area, sorry guys..it's just from past experiences...as far as gettin busted...I think that women would clear their tracks a little better and make sure that they didn't get caught....I do agree with elbuort97...ppl cheat because they are lacking something in their relationship, if you get caught, your relationship may end, if you don't, it may be the best thing that happened to it.

    I am currently involved in an affair.......I do not lack anything in my marriage....I've been married 20 some years and the other half of this affair 30 some years. We started out as friends and fell in love.....my advice....if you have a good marriage and begin to have feelings for somebody else end it immediately...it will hurt but not near as much as the heartache I think we are both headed for. I don't think we will either one ever leave our spouses and we feel guilty about what we are doing and we are not having sex...we'd like to but don't.......it is heartbreaking to be in a relationship that has to stay hidden......we don't ever want to hurt our spouses. I have told myself to let him go but my heart always overrules my brain. I have a wonderful life, husband, children and job and I'm here to tell you that you can fall in love with someone else.

    Individuals cheat for different reasons but the main one is that you are searching and desiring something that you are not getting in the relationship. If all your vital needs are being met, there is NO reason to look elsewhere. And I suggest that you first work out what is missing in your current relationship with the person or go to counseling if you believe it's worth saving. If not, get out. Cheating is not worth the pain it causes to the other and to yourself and even to the person you're cheating with. Either get out and be free to be with whomever, or work on the the one you're supposed to be committed with/to. A clear conscience and heart is worth it.
