haha. i hear ya. the horse has gotta run. :-).
It's not a society any more. Not even a civilization. It's a tribe, and it's governed by superstition and raw power.
I would imagine it would be best to stay mum and be happy. What some, who are against trying to find out, think is that it just an invasion of personal privacy. In the world today, with so many diseases and other potential ramifications of a cheating spouse/mate, I am of the mind it can be looked at as an act of self defense.
If you do not want to be tracked, do not get married.
You see, if you are not cohabitating, it becomes illegal to use a gps tracking unit for your girlfriend.
So the answer here is to never get into the institution of marriage
If you ever get the urge to get married, just find a girl you don't like and buy her a house.
It saves time.
Seems like a lot of techno-work for an accident!! I know one Mom in our neighborhood that has a GPS on her teen son’s phone. Not sure how it works (I am technology deficient) but I think I remember that she can pinpoint where he is at all times. Maybe her son has given her problems or concerns. Not sure... I seem to always know where my teen boy is located (school, football practice or in front of the fridge).
You have learned “the lesson”, Free Vulcan. (that is what a group of my closest gal friends called it when we were young and single). You start going out with someone because you like them. However, you really value fidelity after something like this happens. (not that you didn’t value it before but you learn that it is a trait that is put on the top ten list). I am so happy that you now have a more positive outlook on life!! Good for you!
I hope that she learned something not only about her husband but herself. Any friend that I’ve known who discovered a spouse cheating “knew” for quite a while (deep in their gut). Perhaps some people are neurotically suspicious or overly suspicious because of past experiences? Maybe that ingrain suspicion twists things in your mind. Perhaps when all is said and done, their relationship will be better because his fidelity is confirmed. I hope so!
I can definitely see if you own a fleet of vehicles for a business. You want to know that the person driving the vehicle your company not only purchased but insures is where he or she is suppose to be (not at a bar, for example). Thank you, Dragnet2, I learned something new!
It is good (for your sake) that you don’t live close to me. I have some great friends and we would sit you down and analyze you! LOL! Why were you mislead? Why did you think this was the perfect girl? Then, we would help you set out and find “the girl” with more advice then you would ever want! (all done with good intentions, of course). I guess I am a romantic but I still believe the right girl is out there for you. (one is out there for Laz, too. Don’t tell him that because he gets annoyed at me!!)
Yes, and I assume yes.
There are a number of people who sell hardware for this market.
Good for you! Two little boys certainly keep you busy, laughing and happy. Of course, your dating situation has become more “complicated”. Not only do you have to evaluate if a gal would be a good wife BUT you have to evaluate if the gal would be a good Mom to your boys. The two traits don’t always go hand in hand. You sound like a wonderful man and Daddy... I have hope!
I totally agree. Here is the weird part - she was conservative. Officer in the local GOP, active together in politics. We were perfect for each other really. But, looking back now I see things that I could never have seen before because they were so subtle at the time. They look glaring now.
I’ll boil it down this way: some women want a man and some women want a man to care about them (and vice versa). They’re very similar and hard to distinguish, but the women who want a man to care about them are the ones you want. They’re holding out for the real thing. The other kind have a tendency to always be looking for the best deal they can get.
Now that my eyes are opened, I can discern the difference much easier by picking up on clues they send out whether they know it or not. It’s a much more secure, positive feeling. That and realizing that although I like my life, there are areas I want to improve on before getting involved again. Being settled and being where and who you want to be is a great buffer and leverage in keeping your spirits up when someone tries to burn you.
I am a firm believer that we learn something very valuable with each relationship (good or bad). The bad ones keep us pondering a bit while the wounds are fresh. How could I have been so wrong, so stupid, so trusting? I think we tend to beat ourselves up a lot more than we should. That being said, we learn. Oh boy, do we learn. We learn especially that while in the relationship, we are blind to some bad things that other friends/family see very clearly. If they are close friends and family AND you are open to what they see... we get a glimpse into a behaviors we can’t see. I have a very close friend who got divorced about three years ago. She was just astonished that after the separation, people close to her told her that they never liked him, trusted him etc... When she looked back, she wished that she had been less defensive about him while they were dating. Just life I guess.
Probably stick it to the bottom of their car with a magnet.
That’s true, but what I do is legal.
That’s true, but what I do is legal.
I actually ran across her a couple years later—unusual in that she had been living out of state. They got back together, but the relationship was deteriorating again. Se la vie.
What was odd is that I didn’t detect it in my own family until it was OBVIOUS. Sometimes the desire & reason to believe in them surprises you.
