[quote=Anonymous]In a 2013 article in The Guardian, Tim Lott, a British author suggested that people are maybe “over” adultery in their real – as opposed to cultural – lives.  He suggests that because adultery still happens regularly enough on television, and in drama and literature, it is rarely the central trope of a single piece of artistic endeavor.  I wonder how many people share his view.  Maybe not for the same reasons [b]but because the nitty gritty destruction that adultery creates is continuously obscured.[/b]

I am convinced that adultery destroys everyone involved in one way or another.  I know my own devastation as the betrayed spouse and I am watching in a ring side seat the devastation that it has wrought upon my husband, even three years post D-day.  Betraying me was one thing but ultimately he betrayed himself.  He wants to be honest and sincere but his idea of himself and his reality do not meet.  This is a bit of a psychological unraveling.

How can the correct messages about adultery be transmitted?  Ashley Madison’s trite message that life is short, so have an affair, sums up casually the totally naive and cavalier attitude that drip feeds the fantasy rather than the misery of adultery.  The truth is, adultery can and does lead to murder.
