Spying On Your Spouse
webmaster

Many people, not just the cheaters, feel that spying is morally wrong under any circumstances. I personally feel that there are times when knowing the truth (before it's too late), can save a relationship.

To me, the term "spying on your spouse" implies long term monitoring of a mate without their knowledge. I think most people would agree that this is unhealthy for a relationship. However, using a surveillance device, (check your local laws as to the use of such products), for a short period of time, to determine if a spouse is being unfaithful, may save a relationship by bringing the affair out of secrecy. 

Communication would seem to be the right approach. However, if you suspect your mate is cheating and you choose to confront them with your suspicions, they will often deny any inappropriate behavior. Without absolute proof of their infidelity, most people will not openly confess to doing anything wrong. This can lead a cheater to take increased steps to hide their affairs from you.

I didn't spy on my wife. Now she is gone. I never got the chance to save our marriage.  By failing to uncover the truth, I let my marriage slip away and sentenced my daughters to a lifetime of wondering why their once loving mother chose to leave them forever.

The real mistake was to do nothing. Whether you opt for counseling, talking or spying, do something to get to the issue out in the open.

Not only has the Internet made it easy to meet other people without leaving your own home, it has also provided spouses with a new instrument for starting (and carrying out) extramarital affairs. Whether the perpetrators are unhappy in their marriages, bored with their married sex lives, or merely flirting, "cyber-cheating" is now a common element in cases of marital breakdown.

Music Therapy

Music can be a great source of comfort through difficult times. Whether you sing, play a musical instrument or just listen, music can be therapeutic. Some music can help you to relax or meditate. Certain songs can remind you of better times in your life, perhaps when you were more independent. Try not to dwell on songs that remind you of your broken relationship. For me, that was difficult, since I practically grew up with my ex. "Itsy Bitsy Spider" was about the only song that didn't remind me of her. So I started playing the guitar and learned some new songs, to go with my new life. The best thing about it is that when I play, I think of nothing else. Just concentrating on the music lets me forget about everything else, at least for those few moments. It is my sanctuary and my outlet at the same time.
