Good lord, what did I start here?
Anyway, if your spouse was texting some married-but-estranged hobag/manho "friend" that you have never heard of before in a different city tens of times per day, don't you think you would be thinking "IS THIS FUCKER CHEATING ON ME"? Even if he isn't cheating on his wife, it doesn't look good in the court of public opinion. And if you are an elected official, that's pretty much all that counts.
I'm with Scott here, I mean no you shouldn't be fired from a job for getting divorced but maybe you might think twice about someone who is so deceptive or disrespectful to their spouse-- someone who is supposed to be the most IMPORTANT person in their life. If they treat their spouse that way, what the fuck chance do the rest of us have with them?
