A lot of people are sloppy as hell when it comes to two-timing on their significant others. It’s almost as if they want to get caught. They’ve caught their lovers, literally, with their pants down.
Even the most sophisticated serial cheater eventually will get cocky and slip up. It’s the law of karma. The universe has a way of surprising you when you least expect it.
From the cheating stories I’ve heard, there are a few major ways to get busted:
Firsthand observation
Some of us have had the traumatic experience of walking in on significant others in the throes of cheating — the firsthand witness bust. I’ve heard countless stories about people who were cheating in the very homes that they share with their significant others. Some have spied their sig others in public, canoodling with someone else.
Messaging
E-mails, text messages and picture mail are technology conveniences that often are used for evil. The proof is right there on a technicolor screen, and there’s no good defense. Don’t bother to say: “I don’t know why she sent me naked pictures and an invitation to come over at 2 a.m. Maybe she accidentally sent them to the wrong person?” You’re busted. Just accept it.
Hard, cold evidence
Women notice things like earrings left on the nightstand, a random tube of lipstick in the bathroom and an abundance of stray strands of hair that don’t match ours. We will observe the two wine glasses in your sink and note that one has a lipstick ring.
Guys will become suspicious to find a toilet seat in the up position, a forgotten condom wrapper and the mysterious presence of size 16 gym shoes under the bed.
Some evidence can be explained, but your significant other will be on notice.
Informants
Most people don’t like to get involved in the domestic disputes of their friends, but sometimes it can’t be helped.
For example, ladies, if your boyfriend’s best friend bumps into you while you’re with another guy on a weekend that you’re supposed to be away, you’re probably busted.
Guys, if you’re macking to a girl who happens to be your girlfriend’s sister’s best friend, you’d better know she’s hitting the speed-dial button before you’ve left the club.
Investigation
If your significant other is perceptive and suspects that something might be going on, he/she will investigate the origin of the smoke, which often is a five-alarm fire. Your honey is on a mission to figure out what’s going on by any means necessary, and if you’re guilty, you will get busted.
Tired of getting busted? I have a surefire remedy. If you follow my advice, your days of getting caught with your hands in the cookie jar are over. Forever.
It’s very simple … stop cheating!
If you’re keeping it in your pants, there’s no chance that e-mail messages, eyewitnesses or evidence can compromise your relationship. Even a perceived indiscretion has a reasonable explanation. You can rest easy, knowing that you’ve done nothing wrong, and that there are no skeletons in your closet to come back to haunt you.
And if you have a problem and simply can’t stop, either get help or be careful.
