WILL you sleep better?
Will he love you more?
As a general rule, I don’t enjoy devoting my time and energy to foolishness, but sometimes one just has to go there.
I recently discovered a website whose aim is to name and shame any woman who has been caught “stealing” someone else’s husband.
The way the website works is that the aggrieved wife posts a picture of the homewrecker (as many pictures as she likes, it seems) together with the name and location of the calamity and a description of how this person damaged her happy home.
A typical post would start like this: “After 12 years together with my husband, this whore came in and separated my family. My husband and I have three kids together and he has raised my oldest since she was a baby. They adore their father completely . . .” or “My husband and I have been married for 15 years (together 18). In January 2011, he met this homewrecker at a party of a mutual friend. They had never met before. My husband was intoxicated . . .”
Visitors to the site can post comments and presumably the idea is that the perpetrator of this domestic injustice can be shamed into mending her wicked ways and the victim (aggrieved wife) can somehow be vindicated.

I am reliably informed that there is a proliferation of such websites and I am left with many questions concerning the entire project, the first one being: When this is all said and done, will it hurt less?
Will your husband come back? Will it make the past go away? Whatever happened to maintaining your dignity?
More seriously, I would like to know how it is possible for one human being to steal another adult, who is in possession of his five senses and perfectly able to make choices.
Did the homewrecker bind him up and stash him in the trunk of her car?
Did the so-called “slut” not engage in a willing-buyer willing-seller transaction, which would, therefore, leave no room for the concept of theft?
Finally, how much proof is there that this so-called home- wrecker is in fact, wrecking your home?
Firstly you would have to prove the affair is taking place. Secondly, it may be a case of mistaken identity.
Also, there may be so many other factors which have left your home vulnerable to wrecking that the weighting which should be given to the accused may come to naught in the final analysis.
And so as I continue to ask myself these questions, I am left with still more questions. Is there something about love that loosens some of the wiring in our brains?
Is it only some personality types which are susceptible to this malaise?
In the end, what does love mean if it births this level of drama? Or, as Tina Turner would sing: What’s love got to do with it?
