Why It's Easier to Have an Affair These Days
We don't all have $1 million in campaign finance funds to conceal our mistresses like John Edwards, but there's no denying that having an affair is easier than ever. Now, that doesn't mean you should have one; we're just saying that with the advent of technology and other additions to our busy lifestyles, it's a lot easier to maintain an illicit relationship and cover it up. With the advent of texting, numerous social media sites and chat rooms, it's simple to carry on an emotional affair, perhaps the most detrimental kind for a relationship. This type of affair may not be of a sexual nature - participants simply turn to one another in times of need, talking out problems, supporting one another...basically, what one would turn to a partner for in a committed relationship. Chatting online takes the face-to-face contact out of the equation and makes it easy to carry on a long-distance relationship. And with a less tech-savvy partner, the cheater has the advantage. It's easier than you think to be able to erase your online footprint.
