Show Notes:
Spying on cheating spouse
- Technology is changing relationships
- We can track spouses by the GPS systems in our phones, we check their emails & texts, and social networks like Facebook are allowing people to reignite old flames
- None of this is helping the relationships become closer, more secure, and trustworthy. Why? The technology answers some of our questions but it doesn’t solve the problem. The problem is the level of anxiety we feel about our relationship and our trust that it will continue well.
a) You see something and anxiety goes up
b) You see what could be something and your anxiety goes up
c) You see nothing and think, well I just didn’t catch them this time
d) We think we will get anxiety reduction from these activities, but that never happens! Catching someone cheating doesn’t mean they will stay in the relationship!
* We are more likely to find out indiscretions in the relationship if we leave it alone, mostly b/c people get lazy.
