Interesting article about an online dating website that targets married women specifically getting sued by a Catholic organization in France.

I actually sat around discussing this with some lawyer friends of mine awhile back wondering if, for nothing else, discovery during a similar lawsuit here in the US could survive Summary Judgement and could we use discovery to get the names and send interrogatories and subpoenas to every single registered member of a US website like AshleyMadison.com. It's probably possible in the right jurisdiction (like my state Michigan where adultery is still on the books as a felony) and the people using those websites have no idea that they are vulnerable to having their use of the website exposed.

It's probably a safer alternative to legally attack those websites versus the secret Christian organization that is teaching motivated individuals and couples to covertly register fake accounts on infidelity websites, chatting and setting up fake meetings with cheaters, filming it and discreetly exposing them to their spouses and families.

Anyway...here's the French story. Some classic quotes.

And we sit here and fight infidelity everyday and there are millions registered (according to them) looking for infidelity. So sad.

I agree this is sad.

However, it did give me an idea.

In a sense, this is aggregating the waywards to a single place, and it should making snooping easier to do. In a healthy marriage, there is no reason to visit a site like this or ashleymadison.

Even if the wayward is deleting browser history it would be easy to use an internet traffic-logging tool to check for visits to sites like this. It's probably not good if they're actively seeking these sites out, but it would give BS more advanced warning.

I find these cheating websites absolutely deplorable. My WW had a second affair with someone on ashleymadison. If I could have that website shut down I would do it in a heartbeat.

What are you doing about your marriage, Pius? You simply stopped posting about it after you revealed this second affair. Are you attempting Recovery? Is your wife cooperating with a transparent marriage?

Yes, Pius. Stay with us and work a plan to make things better, or it will only get worse. The people who just show up to give us updates and make conversation always end up in terrible situations and extremely miserable. Get immersed in Marriage Builders and you can make your situation far, far better.

Marriage Builders is not just a hate adultery site, although we all certainly hate adultery!

I never heard of ashleymadison until recently; I have read about it twice now in recent weeks in articles discussing how bad it was. If the articles had not been written, I would still be unaware that it existed.

My needs are actually few; mainly respect, with a little domestic support thrown in. If those needs are met, I am not looking in other places to have them met.

What, no romance?

No sex?

No affection?

No fun activities - otherwise known as recreational companionship?

You don't need any of those things from a wife in order to feel happy and in love?

You can get respect and "a little domestic support" from a servant! Why not hire a housekeeper? Your description does not sound a like a marriage!
