So you decide to buy some surveillanve equipment to spy on your cheating spouse.
Hidden cameras, listening devices or GPS tracking systems will allow you to monitor the activities of your spouse. Specific software installed in your spouse's computer could monitor your mate's online presence and activities. Hiring a detective to spy on your cheating spouse is another popular method.
It is not illegal to buy these products or services. But it may be illegal to use those products to spy on others without their knowledge. Especially if you hire someone to use the equipment on your behalf could be a violation of various wiretapping laws. These strict laws apply to electronic communications such as email or computer communications (chat rooms, instant messages), telephone calls etc.
If you plan to buy surveillance equipment from a store or online, you'll notice that most stores have disclaimers mentioning that the products must not be used for illegal activities. Most surveillance product manufacturers clearly state that their products should not be used in an illegal manner. These disclaimers also point out that the buyer is the only one responsible for the use of the products. So watch out!
What else may be illegal?
- If you call a company and pretend to be someone else in order to get access to phone records.
- If you hire a detective and he/she uses illegal methods to spy on your cheating spouse. It's your liability!
- Loging into websites with your spouse's username and password without his/her knowledge. (e.g. online banking account)
So is there a way to Spy your cheating spouse without having trouble with the law?
The answer is YES! There's really no need to use any kind of surveillance equipment or hire a private investigator. Use your own eyes and ears. Use your mind and knowledge of your spouse. I mean, it's your spouse! You should be able to tell if he/she behaves strangely or changes his/her habbits for no reason.
And what are the signs of a cheating spouse?
Men and women behave the same when they cheat on their spouse. The secret is to know what to look for. There are different types of extramarital affairs (Emotional, Cybersex, Same sex etc). And there are different types of "cheating signs" (Work habbits, everyday behavior, car and telephone and computer signs etc.)
Is the affair serious or just a game? How long has this been going on? These are some of the considerations you should make. For example an online affair with an unknown person is not that serious as if your spouse is meeting with someone in person every other day.
Cheating On A Spouse
Scientists characterize a monogamous relationship as a breeding pair who share the same nest in a common territory but most importantly ‘have frequent contact'. It has been clearly noted that monogamous males are involved in parental care, spend there energy ensuring the safety and security of their family and reject intrusion into the ‘nest'. Those who enjoy a greater freedom in life and roam a wider territory are more likely to cheat on their spouse than someone who enjoys the confines of an all encompassing and close relationship.
The most monogamous animals are birds with over 90% of species pairing up with exclusive rights and joint parental care. Not all scientists are in agreement but evidence suggests that birds show far more commitment to their partners and family than humans with very few opting to relinquish their duties as husband, father and family provider.
What is interesting to note, and a fact that can then be associated with our continually changing society, is that monogamy (in females) rarely occurs when the female is left to roam through a larger territory with free access to other males rejecting the confines of a solitary environment. It is then easy to see that animals as well as humans are susceptible to cheating on their spouse when it comes to an opportunity, as they see it, being handed to them on a plate.
When studying nature and combining it with what we are now seeing within society its then more easy to understand that society as we now know it is developing in such a way as to actively encourage both cheating men and cheating wives to seek sexual relationships outside of the marital bed. The ever increasing number of cheating spouses has a distinct link to the life we now live.
The freedom that we have in our modern world with the general practice of partners enjoying different activities and generally doing their own thing in much of their spare time acts as a catalyst for cheating spouses.
If you consider how easy infidelity can occur and understand why we are, in a way, channeling our relationships in such a way as to actively and openly encourage cheating we begin to understand and accept the theory that for a relationship to grow and flourish you have to spend quality time with your partner and not base a relationship around ships that pass in the night.
