This website is called ashleymadison.com and it is just another ordinary dating website, Password: Username { Nickname: ried.

On the 0 alone ot hts ant on a : other hand, there is something y Po START >> | a little different from the rest of ‘would create this site. The foundation of marriage has never been as sacred as the media or the facilities of religions that endorse it wish that it was. Divorce rates are higher than ever at this cur- - rent point in time, with fifty percent of couples splitting up before “death do they part.” So what place does ashleymadison.com have in all of this? This is a website that preys on the unsure spouse that finds themselves without the thrill that they had at the beginning of their relationship. It’s a fo- rum for a person to find someone to have an affair with and since it is so out in the open, a person could easily feel justified in the act they are preparing to perform. After all, their motto which is on the front of the web page is, “Life is Short. Have an Affair”. But are we really the type of culture that would stoop so low as to turn our relationships into something much more counter- feit in the hopes of satisfying ourselves? Is there anything more selfish than planning and in some cases explaining the nogessity of an affair to a loved one? The site claims that it has garnered over three million users that are apparently working together to create a more sexually satisfied existence for themselves. According to the site, they encourage the users to explain them- selves to their spouses and work through their difficulties along with the help of ashleymadison.com’s special “therapy”. It should be mentioned that this website asks all users for their credit card information in order to speed them through the site and allow them a quicker, more time efficient affair. Some people would consider this an alternative to divorce, but I think those people have yet to realize they harm they are bringing upon their rela- tionship. When two people are married they become bonded to one another whether it’s religiously or strictly socially and to bring another person into that significant bond could be a costly mistake. Intimacy between the couple would not be replenished all of a sudden and the nail could easily drive deep- er into the coffin that the two people have dug for their relationship. I think that it is easy to say that ashleymadison.com is a website that is beneficial to married couples due to the aforementioned divorce rate in our country, but I don’t think that one thing should lead to another in this case. The line must be drawn in our culture that infidelity is wrong and people who think they are strong enough to stomach the idea of their spouse bedding another person are just as naive as the single people who crave the attention of the married people that inhabit this website. If you believe that sex is the most important part of a relationship then I suggest you grow up or get help before you find yourself sliding down a slippery slope of decep- tion and the inability to be faithful. If your marriage is in the gutter, then get a counselor and if that doesn’t work then consider splitting up but don’t try to. rationalize bringing strangers into your relationship to spice it up because it ~ sounds as ridiculous as it certainly is and in this case it could easily ruin the thing that you were “trying” to save. Strangers can carry STD’s, they can make themselves out to ho people that they really aren’t and they could become attached and begin to meddle into your relationship. To wrap up, I don’t think that the creators of ashleymadi- son.com had the best interests of their users in mind when they came up with the idea. It’s simply another scam to take your money and leave you with something that you will most likely regret “purchasing.” The World's Premier Discreet Dating Ser with over 2,315,000 like minded member: the of the dating service web- sites.
