A Huffington Post story I thought sounded a lot like MB's advice. Though I'm surprised at the No. 1 "Red flag." I'd put the cell phone red flag as No. 1.

Thoughts?

"RED FLAG #1: If your spouse wants you to swing with your neighbors, you ARE headed for divorce. It amazes me how a seemingly innocent and loving couple gets drawn into this lifestyle which almost always leads to the ultimate demise of a marriage. It begins when one spouse has fantasies of 'swinging' but the other spouse does not. The unwitting spouse gets sucked into this lifestyle by promises of good sex and a happier marriage. It often leaves the less enthusiastic spouse feeling guilty, less attractive, and vulnerable."

Amen to that one! I can' count the # of marriages I have seen WRECKED over the years from swinging. Which is just another cute name for ADULTERY. No matter what cute name we place on it, adultery is adultery, and adultery is the most destructive thing you can do to a marriage.

This should be 10 sign your spouse is having an affair. Except for the gaining weight part, all the others would be red flags for affairs.
