Ashley Madison the doom or gloom of a marriage!

I am not usually ignorant but I must admit, I was not aware that so many South African married people were part of the Ashley Madison cheating website; I was so shocked at the same time relieved I do not have to worry about my partner’s dirty laundry being put out for the entire world to see.

There have been mixed reactions from both married and unmarried people since it emerged that the website was hacked, the hacking part, well came as no surprise to me I must say, websites get hacked on a daily basis. BUT the shocking fact was the high number of married people that are part of the website, I can’t say I am happy that so many people are on the edge of their seats hoping that the owner cooperates with the hackers to prevent them from being shamed; it’s a bit sad but am glad this happened.

Not to generalise, but as a young woman I am happy that this happened I believe it’s about time people know the realities of marriages, it’s not all glamorous as Hollwywood film producers continually perceive it to be in most films. Yes marriage is a blessing and all but can make stop making it seen as if it’s all a girl should work to achieve in life.

As it stands over 175,000 South African cheating spouses have their data compromise, what do you do when faced with such an event, do you tell your spouse before anything drastic happens or do u just seat back and hope the information does not get released. Well you might decide to tell your spouse, but the problem then becomes the fact that the information would not only be seen by your wife, well that’s if exposed but by everyone who decides to check out the “ Ashely Madison Cheaters” yes, that amongst other nasty names is what you will be called.

Some people might argue that what matters is the commitment; at the end of the day that website is nothing more than a hobby and there is no attachment, oh well I guess like I am everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
