What do you think the price we have to pay for enjoying the technology that we got now - from mobile phones, computers and internet facility. These are just few of the technology that we enjoy to use now. But this is also the carrier of the virus if irresponsibly use, if mishandled and if we allowed it to our family to be crippled. I'm talking about the common flat form now a days of infidelity - text messaging and chatting. I have seen right before my very eyes the effect of such. A 12 year young boy who is very depressed knowing his dad left them with another woman met by his dad via chatting. what a sad and cruel reality. It just didn't cripple their family but it took away the life of the 12 year boy - he hanged himself to death for he can not accept the pain of losing his dad whom he truly adored and called his hero. I cannot fathom the pain but this is not just a 1 boy story for i'm certain there are zillion out there who are on the same crippling disease. How to cure this? - is beyond my comprehension but the weapon is pray and stay strong.

People have become too liberated. They have made themselves always available even if they truly are not. Technology has indeed made a dramatic impact towards our lives, but the reason for perfecting such technology was for making things easier for us, uplifting the businesses. They never realized that people would make use of this technology as a reason for their downfall.
I guess building a relationship nowadays is 10x harder than the previous years. And it would take a lot of self-control to be able to stay away from this disease.

Hi,
The way I see it, it is not technology that is the main culprit for this "modern" phenomenon. As far as I can see, infidelity has been around since the days of bush drum communication and snail mail. The modern electronic age has only abetted it, making it more easy to communicate, to set schedules and such.
Now, you ask for a cure. I can't say abolish the internet or mobile phones, the phenomenon has always been there and as long as there are willing women who take in a married person and married persons looking for another partner, the game goes on.
