With the recent rash of male celebrities caught cheating on their wives, you might think that men cheat more frequently than women. Not so, according to statistics. While it’s difficult to gather accurate information on infidelity, most surveys indicate that women cheat as often as men. But if that’s the case, why do the infidelity scandals that hit the news every week always seem to involve a male celebrity cheating?
Spouses of adulterers, beware! Two iPhone and BlackBerry apps just made having an affair even easier.
AshleyMadison.com, a personals website with the telling slogan “Life is short, have an affair”, has iPhone and Blackberry applications designed to help married people find partners without leaving a trace of the affair on work or home computers.
If you suspect your husband is having an affair, the day before Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to find out for sure. February 13th is commonly referred to as Mistress Day, the day when cheating husbands see “the other woman”. Since a cheating husband would be spending Valentine’s Day with his wife, he’ll be spending the day before with his lover.
From early 2006 to August 2008, former presidential candidate John Edwards was able to keep secret an intense affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter. Although the scandal eventually became public, Edwards used some key tricks and techniques to hide his affair, detailed in former aide Paul Young’s new book, The Politician.
Have an accomplice. Paul Young helped facilitate and hide the affair in a number of ways. From booking hotel rooms under his name to falsely claiming paternity of Edwards’ and Hunter’s love child, he was the perfect accomplice (until he wrote his tell-all book, that is).
With the rise in popularity of text messaging, it’s no surprise that increasingly more adulterers are being outed by their cell phones.
The most prominent recent example is Tiger Woods: After allegedly carrying on secret affairs with numerous women over several years, he was finally undone by text messages sent to Rachel Uchitel, the first mistress to be unveiled. A friend of hers told the National Enquirer about the affair, claiming she had seen incriminating text messages. The published rumors likely led to Tiger’s fight with his wife, Elin Nordegren, and subsequent car accident. For further embarrassment, another one of Tiger’s mistresses, Jaimee Grubbs, then gave illicit text messages incriminating Tiger to US Weekly, which then published them.
In an adultery investigation case, finding evidence like the email exchange between Cornell Business School employees “Lisa” and “John” would be like winning the jackpot. In case you haven’t already heard about the scandal, John accidentally copied the entire school on a very long and explicitly tawdry email exchange with his mistress Lisa. Both are married and, as is made abundantly clear from the email, engaging in a steamy affair. Read the full email transcript for the R-rated, torrid details.
I am often hired after someone has already tried and failed to catch a cheating spouse on their own. People often assume that being a private investigator is easy because how hard can it be to follow someone, right? Well, the reality is that it requires a lot more skill than it might seem, and that if you hire a private investigator, you’ll have greater success than going it alone. Here are five reasons why you should hire a private investigator:
1. The private investigator is anonymous to the subject.
One of the main reasons most people hire a PI is because they know they are likely to be recognized and caught if they try to do the work themselves. If you are trying to follow your cheating spouse, it is almost certain that he will recognize your car or spot you, and your cover will be blown. Not only will this result in embarrassment for you or suspicion by him, but it will jeopardize the entire case. If your spouse now believes you are suspicious of his behavior, he will be more cautious in the future, making it more difficult to catch him.
If your spouse is spending a lot more time than usual on the computer and acting in a very secretive manner (for example, using the computer only after you’ve gone to bed), he may be committing online infidelity. Our private investigators can perform computer forensics and surveillance to find out exactly what your spouse is doing on the computer. We perform these services to retrieve past and current computer and online activity:
Computer Data Recovery – Almost all past computer activity is retrievable. Most computer users assume that when they delete a file, it is permanently destroyed. In reality, the deleted files remain stored on the computer’s hard drive until the hard drive is full. As the hard drive needs more space, it starts to destroy the deleted files. Until that point, our private investigators are able to retrieve deleted files, emails, instant messages, and history of Internet activity, including websites visited.

As a private investigator, I have many clients who want to find out if their spouse is having an affair. One of the first things I ask them is why they think their spouse is cheating. The one thing all infidelity cases have in common is that the client always notices some changes in their spouse’s behavior. These are the ones that I have heard over and over again:
Long absences, often unaccounted for. Typical behaviors: She goes out to buy milk but returns three hours later; starts working late nights at the office; or joins a book club but never reads. Explanation: She is meeting up with her boyfriend.
I just came across an interesting article on online infidelity by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). The article states that an estimated 20 to 33% of Internet users go online for sexual purposes. Most of these users are male, 35 years old, married with children, and well educated, which is very similar to what I’ve found during my investigative work. This problem is likely to grow as the number of households with Internet access grows. Check out the article to learn about the reasons for and signs of online infidelity, as well as how to get help.
