Good Morning America did a short segment on marital snooping this morning. They were relating the story of Heather Locklear and Ricky Sambora. Heather read Ricky's email and saw an email from a mutual female friend which included suggestive pictures. She filed immediately for divorce.
Diane Sawyer was on a cruise ship with a group of women and started an informal poll of the women on the ship, most of whom said if they thought their spouse was cheating, they would snoop. Diane seemed to be stunned that all these women would stoop so low (LOL).
My take - you never think it (infidelity) will happen to you. Your perspective changes once you've been a victim.
Stay safe. Practice radical honesty. If you suspect cheating, then snoop. You are at war to save your M and snooping is a tool to be used to end the A.

Diane seemed to be stunned that all these women would stoop so low (LOL). I am always amazed at this retarded logic when it comes to snooping. Do these folks also believe that the police are "stooping low" when they spy on drug dealers? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> There is nothing LOW about investigating someone whom you suspect is harming you behind you back. That is twisted, irrational thinking. No one has the right to the privacy to destroy another behind his back. Rather, folks have an obligation to protect themselves when they feel it is warranted and take steps to stop the harm. There is no virtue in sticking one's head in the sand.

While I'm all for snooping. I am wondering, as you begin to expose, let's say, you have some pornographic material sent from unmarried OM to WW would you send it on to OM's workplace? Anonymously, of course. Looking for some thoughts here......
There is a clock on the wall ticking. I don't know where it is or what time it is but she's waiting for something. Actually, I think I found the clock. I can't see it clearly enough to read it though....

It is unfortunate but all WS's need to remember that if the affair had not occured most likely no one would have snooped on them in the 1st place.
It blows my mind how this is overlooked. I had to snoop and felt just horrible doing it but I am grateful I did because I know it helped kill the affair thusfar.
However said it is so right. Perspective changes when one is on the ugly end of an affair.

Very sad that Diane didn't do more "snooping" into her subject matter before asking questions.
Typical of shallow journalism.
Tidbit > When asked why they chose to study journalism, a vast majority of undergraduate journalism students included in their reasons, "I don't like math or science."
Think about it.
Anyway, think not of infidelity snooping as spying, think of it rather as necessary affair research.

Don't call it snooping.
Call it Intel.
It is war after all.
