Anderson, I admire you & Love your show!
But really think that the MEDIA needs to STOP educating people on what is available out in our world...because really all its doing is helping the CHEATERS (which there are toooooo many of them now!). By putting out there websites like "Alibi's" and hearing these stories, gives cheaters more ideas to play with! I have been on the receiving end of betrayal and the pain it causes cuts to the core of one's soul. You can not buy Character, Integrity & Moral Values...I do want to believe people can change (IF THEY TRULY WANT TO, and if they do the work necessary to arm themselves against temptations of this world) IT TAKES A MUCH STRONGER MAN to NOT fall prey to temptation, to be committed, faithful & loyal, if you can do this you are a REAL MAN (A REAL GOOD MAN!) but there are to many weak (LOSER Men in this world). We will all have to stand before God one day and be accountable for our actions here on earth, (so Lie, Cheat, commit Adultry & Murder and lets see where it lands you in your next life!) People forget or don't want to think about where they will go if they die tommorrow (Heaven or Hell)...But the way you live your life here will determine your final destination.
I'm convinced a pet DOG is the BEST companion, they are LOYAL & FAITHFUL and LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY FOREVER...Something that is rare in MEN.
Why are men always depicted as being guilty? Look at the photographs. This is a large problem with the media today per gender relations. I know it generates $$ to lie to women {so they buy your product.} But how can good men respect & trust women when they are brainwashed by such one sided viewpoints?
Misandric articles turn women into private detectives...which turns men off to their untrusting attitude. Meanwhile good men get no credit. I was a stepfather, father, good husband who went out of my way to give my ex-wife every comfort she wanted.
Big mistake. She was a professional con artist. She cheated on me & after I divorced her-she cheated on her 10 year relationship with a Vet from the 1st Gulf War. He's a fantastic guy-he cried on my shoulders when he found out she cheated on him.
Come on media! Be fair. Tens of millions of heterosexual males refuse to become serious with or marry women today because of all the injustices, biased laws & misandric articles like this one.
What about women,,Seems like they have a way better chance of getting away with things that men don't pick up on,, My x worked the night shift,,I would get home at 4 in the afternoon, She was supposed to get in at 11 ,, Alot of time I fell asleep and she kept coming in later and later, saying she was talking to other workers and lost interest in sex when she got home, found out she was with my x best friend,,I think women cheat as much as men, now I won't commit for the same reason..
those comments are actually very general. Some people may hide behind fake goals, alliances and silenced phones, but if you have the guts to pursue your dreams, you shouldn't be punished for it. If you have a close circle of family and friends whom you support, you shouldn't be made to feel guilty. If family, friends, coworkers, business partners, etc, need to leave messages with you, it should be your prerogative to answer. You might not want to speak to a person sometimes. Since you don't spend enough quality time, you may not want a phone call to cut into the moment. That's the beauty of today. You can answer messages, texts and emails on your time. But I've been on the brink of break up for the past 4 months with my lady because she reads articles like these and then points the finger at me! I guess her friends and cousins advice aren't to helpful either (even though none of them are happy). I'm losing...
I had a friend that always took long drives, went to the movies alone, and had a secret E mail account. If he was given gifts, unless he could explain them away, he did not take them home with him. He wanted things to look like they were normal to everyone else!
The ones mentioned here can be signs of infidelity but they can also be signs of DRUG USE. Yes, even the appearance; it can do the opposite and the person can neglect themselves or it can be as mentioned here- they make the effort to look good so you don't suspect it is drug related.
There's a few more that I think are big red flags and these are: if your boyfriend doesn't have much time for you, if he's always making excuses for not getting together and if he won't show any kind of affection for you when you are out together, i.e., holding hands or putting his arm around you..in other words, he doesn't want people to even know you are together. BIG RED FLAG!Also, when his cell phone goes off in front of you and he looks to see who is calling but won't pick it up.
