Do you think cell phones promote more illicit marital affairs or cut down on marital affairs? If you're having an affair and the wife calls while you're hitting it pretty hard, you have to stop and answer the phone, right? If you don't, then why didn't you answer?

Don't know and don't care. If you can't trust someone, you don't need to be around him/her. If you DO trust him/her and still need to know every call, you're a control freak or just insecure.

So true. My wife never answers her cell phone, leaves it in the car, turns it down, but guess WHAT, I do the same thing. If I answered mine 100% of the time, I would still trust her. She is my wife, and we care about each other.
Also jmbo35660, just hurry and finish, I promise, the phone will still be ringing ;P
If you would actually stop and answer the phone while you are "doing it" - I have to wonder - is it really "so good" as to risk ruining your marriage?

Cause honey, if I find ANYTHING that would merit me destroying my life, it certainly wouldn't be something worth a little phone call disturbing!! Wouldn't that kind of ruin the mood a little? Confused

33rd, why do you say that? They didn't have cell phones when I was a child. People think they can't walk into a public place without yapping on one. Besides, this post is about cell phones and marital affairs. Do you know who your significant other talks to everyday?


You know, I understand the issue if someone is ordering food or paying a cashier, but what does it matter if you walk by someone in an aisle at Walmart talking on a phone? Would it bother you as much if you walked by them and they were talking to whoevers on the phone in person? Truth is, they are carrying on a conversation with someone they know, be it on the phone or face to face.

I think you have cell phone envy, which is easily treated by buying a cell phone ;o)

You're right Julie.If somebody stops to answer the phone,imagine what else they stop for.

jjuliesmiles, you make me laugh. That is an excellent point.

But another comment on the original question is yes, in one way it does make it easier. Especially for guys who mostly cheat while they're out of town. Some wives are so used to just calling their husband's cell phone that they wouldn't think to call the hotel and ask for their husband's room. So it's easy for hubbie to pick up the cell and say, "yes, I made it to California but we've been working non-stop" but from his hotel room in Vegas.

I was married to a sportscaster...i actually heard statements like that...along with, rolling over and looking at watch, "half time should be over by now...." and "why not in the living room this time...it's closer to the big TV."
My favorite was "your water broke? ...but i'm supposed to interview the softball coach this morning."
You could also monitor that "cheater's" behavior a lot easier if they have a cell phone. Like if you were "suspicious" you could monitor the calls on the bill or you could pull up the bill on the computer and see who they talked with 30 minutes ago - depending on how fast your computer's speed is.

I do it all the time if I am bored. Why not - if he makes me mad and I need a reason to crawl his hind end, I just start looking on line and calling and going "who's number is === ----? and why were you talking to them a few minutes ago?" that is always good for a SUPER GOOD fight and words like "B---- - you are crazy - why are you checking my phone calls?"
