This was on dateline last night.
The Secret Life of the Homecoming Queen: An Adultery and Murder in GA My dh and I were utterly horrified at the whole situation, but it was sadly, a worse possible scenario which could happen if you do not treat an active affair as it is...DANGEROUS to your and your children.
If things feel "off" then snoop. There is nothing at all wrong with you snooping to find the truth. In this sad situation, the betrayed husband was never really in the know of what was going on with his wife and his married close friend.
When you do find out your spouse is having an affair, you expose. You do so right away. You see, in waywardville, right is wrong and up is down and bad is good. Thus, helping your wayward spouse OUT of the affair and killing the affair dead quickly should be your primary objective. MB can help you do that.
This situation happened about an hour and a half away from where we are, and it is so sad. I wondered what could have happened if this guy went on his gut instinct and snooped. If he had found out. Maybe this could have ended differently. But all I know is there is one devastated wife, one dead husband, and two very skanky and horrible waywards who are doing time and children who are going to live the rest of their lives without their loving father and another set of kids who will not see their skanky mom ever again as long as they are young, and never hug their loving dad again.
Saddest part of what we saw on this report last night is the vile former minister who murdered one of his best friends because he was skanking around with his wife, still harbors "feelings" for his skankho dead friends' wife from behind bars.
Nobody cared for the feelings of the children to the affairees, or the feelings of each betrayed spouse. Nobody cared what might happen to the families or jobs or homes or anything. YOu learn from watching this travesty, that in a very deeply entrenched affair, that the waywards are simply living for the moment and that they are DANGEROUS doing so.
Why? Well, when you live for the moment and you shut out things like reality, cause and effect, and morality, you are opening up your spouses and children to complete devastation at the hand of your wayward actions. Affairs ARE dangerous and anybody that waves that thought away is dangerous or simply ignorant. Please pray for the poor betrayed wife and her children she will be raising alone as her murderous vile xhusband rots in jail. Please pray for the kids of the horrible, devious and evil mom and wayward wife who are having to forever live with relatives and because of their horrid mommy and the actions of her skanky boyfriend, they will never know the love or hug of their father ever again, for their father is dead.
If you second guess yourself on taking a passive approach to handling the situation regarding the affair of your spouse, you are handling things WRONG. Get tough, get the facts, and protect yourself and your children from the people out to destroy you and the marriage. That would be the waywards and their affair.
Granted you might not have such a volatile ending, but do know this. I personally count as a good friend a person who almost fell victim to something just like this, as there was an active affair and my friend was placed in directly of harms' way. The OP tried to take action to have them harmed or worse. So this stuff is real.
