Most men and women all over have one goal in common, to one day become happily married and start a family together. There isn't much argument when referring to marriage, it is assumed to be monogamous. There are certain exceptions such as swingers, where the couple has agreed to have multiple partners. For the more socially accepted there are the polygamists. Polygamy is a form of marriage where the person has more then one spouse. Although not recognized as legal in many states, it is for the most part accepted.
There are also certain cases where one person in the relationship wants to remain monogamous, but the other doesn't so it results in one person cheating on another. About 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women end up cheating in a relationship. Whether your partner finds out or not it is still not accepted, but it doesn't stop anyone from doing it.
In this day and age where anything and everything can be found on the Internet, you will be able to find more than a community of people who believe cheating and having affairs while married is OK. More officially there is a website dedicated to helping married people find people to have affairs with. With Online dating websites being at all time high popularity, this website follows them exactly. You just tell the website what you want and you will be automatically matched up with someone with the same interests. With over a million members, this website is no joke. To become a member is free and it comes with a standard membership, but to extend your membership to a full one charges will apply. Since this website is for people seeking affairs, most people are concerned with what will show up on your credit card statement which most likely your spouse checks as well. So there are an array of different payment options to be more discrete.
Upon finding this website it leads me to believe that such behavior has become more and more socially accepted. This kind of behavior will often lead to divorce and with the divorce rate being 50 percent, it worries young people still looking forward to marriage. Is there still hope for the young unmarried society to one day become happily married?
The website has been on shows like Dr. Phil, 20/20, CNN, and Fox news. Although on all these shows the website has been questioned and ridiculed, the website still prides itself that any publicity is good publicity. Now that this secret website is out, is it bad for business? But more importantly is this morally correct? This is a Canadian based website, where the founder, Darrel Morganstern has been questioned numerous times, does he see the damage this website could entail or if in fact this is purely for the money? People will take any new idea and run with it just to make a penny off of it. The owner reports that this kind of behavior is inevitable, but this website just gives these people and alternate outlet. This website is advertised on billboards with the saying, "Life is short, have an affair!"
