Holy friggin’ matrimony.
AshleyMadison.com, a dating site devoted to helping married men and women have affairs, reports that more 31,427 women signed up for their site the day after Mothers Day. That’s more than ten times the number of women who register on a typical Monday.
Oddly enough, AshleyMadison.com’s biggest day of the year is usually the day after Valentine’s Day.
The site claims to have more than 5.2 million members.
CEO Noel Biderman says, “on Mother’s Day, women in general expect to be celebrated by their partners. However, for many already suffering from a lack of appreciation, this day represents a continuation of neglect and disappointment.”
A personal note to Mrs. IHateTheMedia.com Editor and Mrs. IHateTheMedia.com Administrator:
We love you.

yes, because marital issues can be solved with more marital issues
or like its now known "the obama method" works on relationships, world standing, and the economy!
seriously, if you think cheating will solve anything, you are an idiot, i cant think of a single situation where that wouldnt be detrimental
Adultery is not the answer to any neglect or abandonment. It is definetly not the answer to abuse either in that case it is definetly better to divorce. If there is SERIOUS neglect or abandonment then the best thing to do is to separate AFTER providing the spouse with a warning and time to fix the problems within the marriage. If the neglect is not serious going out to have commit adultery is not going to make things better it will make it worst, it is best to discuss the problem and attempt to fix it before it gets serious. If the spouse is not able nor willing to provide what the other spouse needs or wants then separate and be done with it. Adultery may feel good for a few moments, days or even weeks and years, but in the end brings nothing but shame and pain and problems not just to the marriage and the individual, but also any children, extended families and communities.
A lot ppl these days are lazy, stupid and they believe in revenge and payback without any consideration of the consequences. Ppl can be so self-interested and egocentric on either side. Women should want to be pampered on special days but are they pampering their husbands on special days? and viceversa. You cannot expect something if you are not giving it.
If they are pampering but not getting it back, then what is going? The problem is then communication. If a woman wants to be pampered and loved on Valentine's Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries and on Mother's Day or they just want general attention then they should tell the husbands what they want. Men are not mind readers. I am a woman who has lived with my Mother for a long time and she was the typical woman/mother wants something, but doesn't say anything, gets mad because she doesn't get it; because she expected me to know what she wanted in the first place. She feels that she shouldn't have to tell me something I should just KNOW. Like telepathically she is telling me what she wants and my mind should be open to her mind waves. Mothers do this all the time and it sucks. I cannot be that way I totally refuse. I had to tell her at one point quite forcefully that I am not her, I will never be her and if she wants something she has to communicate and say it. I am not going to walk on eggshells wondering why she is pouting, nor will I care to inquire. After a while of pouting she got the message and things have changed dramatically. She tells me what she wants and if it is in my power or care to do it I do it and I do the same to her. Communication... it works. I am sure that many men have this problem. Although some men do this too (expect women/ppl to be mind readers), but usually my experience is that when a guy wants something he lets you know most of the time and there is no confusion as to what he wants.
If a person doesn't tell me anything, then I naturally assume the person doesn't want anything. If I feel like asking what the person wants and still the person doesn't tell me or acts coy or says do whatever you want then I will do whatever I want and if the person doesn't like it that is their own damn fault!
I cannot read any guy's mind and I won't assume that a guy can read my mind either so if I want something or I want to say something I say it, if the guy wants to give it to me or he agrees with what I am saying, then good if he doesn't we talk about it, I cannot convince him and this is a deal breaker then it is done, if it is isn't a deal breaker then find alternatives. Communication is what separate us from animals it is high time for people to implement it and practice it in their lives.
Points to you, Kimmy Q.
Thanks Matthew, but I already have kid and grandkid and your right about that, love them like nothing else but to get married, she wouild have to be very special indeed, sure don't need the company.
John,
When you find the "right" person-taking that chance on forever is a joy-it is what life is all about-having been through the dark side-I remarried and have a family-and what led me here is what guarantees that it will work this time! After a decade of marriage and 2 beautiful children, I have to say-I rarely think about the previous situation. I hardly remember how I thought or felt, before my kids were born.
There is nothing better-and I mean nothing on earth, than having a giant thunderstorm, and having your kids sprint to your room to be saved and protected by you, in the middle of the night. Nothing in my life before now ever gave me that level of contentedness, fulfillment, and happiness-NOTHING.
Why I'm not married and never will be.
Think about this......
You have people who are "members", who are trying to maintain anonymity, and they are not telling their spouses where they are going. In that 5.2M members, there are rapists, murderers, etc.
So, when a woman leaves the house to go rendevous, no one knows where she went, or with whom, and you are going to see a gigantic increase in disappearances, and bodies being found in the woods.
Every serial rapist and serial killer in the US is one of those 5.2M-and you can bet on it. This is a tool for criminal intent. What better way to find victims than anonymously, online, where no one knows you/them.
This a bad, bad thing-and I shutter to think what the outcome of this very bad idea will be......but I know it will be bad.
And, as a guy who's ex wife cheated on him-I can say this-if you are going to cheat-just get divorced! Save everyone the pain, cost, and lost time of a nasty divorce-and save your conscience before you make the mistake of a lifetime.
If I could only click that thumbs-up button a hundred times!
The scenario you paint is chilling indeed... and all too easily possible. However, I just can't pity the victims. (I don't know if that's where you were headed: pity for them.) There are very pragmatic reasons for morality; safety is one.
It makes me think of that scene in "Crimes & Misdemeanors" where Woody Allen's character's sister relates the tale of the guy she met in the personals who went to the bathroom on her.
It is absolutely crazy and scary. Some people do deserve what they get when they act recklessly and it is so easy to avoid.
Amen to all your points.
And this is where America is going--there's nothing holy about the matrimony any more. Instead of really getting married (you know--that whole union blessed by God thing) people are just signing contracts with their local governments and each other.
No matter how neglected someone feels in their marriage, there's never a good reason to cheat (work it out!!!) and that web site is just a gathering ground for a bunch of total scum.
