Well, I’m not, but this blogger is:
Life is short. Have an affair.
Before you shoot the messenger, I don’t agree with this statement. I’m just repeating a slogan that’s popping up on billboards and TV slots around the country. AshleyMadison.com is a “cheating Web site”—specifically designed for unhappily married people to find each other and . . . well . . . you know.
I hope you are recoiling in horror and disgust that such a service exists—and so we should. Applauding and encouraging infidelity is a darker demon even than the casual sex mantra that so many of us fought in our college years (and beyond). However, one of the saddest commentaries on this dark cultural shift is how this Web site is being marketed.
It’s an excellent response, but I have to wonder if by responding, are we drawing more to it?

Exactly why I’m not married and may never be. I can’t accept societies “new” outlook on the institution.

I would agree, MarFrance, that marriage today is difficult because of the wrong pressures applied. Just look at the quote I posted today.
