I find it amazing that you can clearly understand what is on a tiny screen in some one else’s hand, but so totally not get the point in this thread.
I know what I have to do. I need to summarize this thread into a few text sized nuggets and have someone read them over my shoulder while at a baseball game. They in turn post pictures up on Twitter, along with lots of emoticons and smugness. That kind is stupid lowbrow thing is sure to get picked up by your favorite sources. Yep the Daily News and Daily Mail will be all over that. Then you can read it and immediately start a thread about it.
Let’s assume that the woman in question is the most duplicitous cockmonster in the whole world. When did it become the duty of total strangers to do anything about it? Gossips and scolds have never been esteemed, and for very good reason.
You’re acting as if the only two choices here were: a) To stay silent or b) to expose this woman to the WORLD. Surely you could have come up with a solution that satisfies both your conscience AND this couple’s privacy. Because even if you think that SHE deserves to be exposed to the entire world, HE clearly does not.
You don’t know ANYTHING about this couple. You don’t know what prompted her to have an affair. Maybe he cheated on her first. We have no idea.
And if you cannot appreciate the difference between a private humiliation and a public humiliation, I hope your next boss fires you via a billboard posted on the most heavily traveled highway in your town, with you unnamed but photographed from behind. You know, to protect your privacy.
I’d find this to bizarre, too, if such a thread actually existed.
No, it’s more like if she sat on a bench with a gap on it, someone noticed something she thought was private was visible and took a photo of that, and spread it around.
Unless invited, don’t read what’s on my phone. Period.
Seriously, if I had read something on a strangers phone, I’d be too embarrassed to tell anyone.
You don’t accidentally read the e-mail of someone sitting in front of you. If your eyes dart in that direction, you glance away before you’ve had time to read what’s there. Anything more is prying into something private.
That’s his typical level of reading comprehension. Why try to actually understand something before you go off half-cocked spouting an uniformed opinion? That would take all the fun out of being a knee-jerk bloviator.
Yeah, this. Growing up, I remember being told that it was rude to read over someone’s shoulder. That was in a print context (reading a book over someone’s shoulder), but it applies to pretty much anything. Maybe the rest of the world didn’t get the memo…
What’s funny is that **ace **usually is bemoaning the passing of “the good old days” - where people, for instance, had manners. But this time he’s flipping the script and saying we all need to get with the program and realize we’re in the damned future and we’d better get used to it.
Exactly. Yes, sometimes it’s impossible not to be aware of someone else’s private moment. But this idea that because you can intrude you are justified in intruding is simply not okay.
I am nosy, but I wouldn’t invade someone’s privacy like that. Sadly, to my shame, now that the privacy has been invaded – I would like to be able to read the messages that are in green - the ones from “Mark Allen”/“Nancy.”
Yes being a cuckold is painful, at least for normal majority of men and not those who get off from their wives cheating on them. But he is not a fool because he did not know, I think you are a fool when you know and turn a blind eye. Hopefully he leaves her.
Shame on the wife. Trust is everything in a marriage.
