It was the maintenance workers who smelt something fishy in the rented house. They had been hearing the TV @ full volume all day. And no one responded from inside. They called up the police who broke down the door.
Wife’s face was plastered by marking tape. She had been strangulated to death. The husband had hung himself. They had married out of love and it wasn’t that bad for a murder and a suicide.
During the investigations his mother revealed that the wife had been receiving late night calls from someone unknown. It was indigestible to him and the suspicion might have aroused the devil.
My sister told me about a girl friend of hers. She is engaged to a guy working across the seas in the sands of Arabia. They started off by chatting through Gmail. He took up no time in spilling out all his sexual escapades. The problem started when he wanted her to reveal hers. She did not feel comfortable with sharing the past. Do you think knowledge of her past would make him feel more secure?
It’s easy to slip into an illicit relationship today. We have got social networking sites and free text messages for aid. You find someone in the internet, then enjoy yourself in the virtual /real world and slip out at the right time. In reality you can’t call quits before burning your fingers. And sometimes the ghosts of the past will be back to haunt you.
Having said all that I do not claim to be a saint. I have fallen in many unpleasant situations while trying my luck online. Yes, I’ve had my share of fun too. The reality is it’s very difficult to control myself, in spite of knowing the consequences.
Disclosing the little secrets to our better halves can be tricky. Rather than an ‘open book’, the secret of a decent family life can be ‘trust’. Trust is something built mutually and may take years to happen. So laying yourself bare in front of someone you hardly know could be dangerous.

It's dangerous to build a relationship on a hollow foundation of mistrust.
And online relationships rarely work.
On-line relationships are a new phenonomen; they really cannot replace old-style because as you say they are not based on reality.
I find it odd to think that a man is so self-absorbed that he cannot accept that his wife/girlfriend had a past... that her life didn't begin the day she met him - because that is in effect what they are assuming by demanding that she have no previous relationships!
I said to my sister the other day "Everyone seems to come with so much baggage nowadays" she laughed and said "At our age (we are in our 50s) if they don't have baggage they have lived at home with their parents all their lives ... would you want to meet someone like that?"
We all need to live a little - to make mistakes and learn from them!
uve said this well..:) Something when told can create problems..they are better off hidden..
