My four-year-old said something really funny in the car yesterday. He called my husband a "kissey face" and said that Daddy kisses everyone in town. I said, "What? Who did you see Daddy kiss?" He replied, "I was just tricking you. He only kisses you." After the minor cardio infarction that I suffered, my husband and I had a conversation about cheating. He said, "How do people who live in a small town have an affair? I mean, everyone knows that you're married, I just don't get it."

Maybe they have an account on Ashley Madison? Have you heard of this website? I hadn't, but today I saw that Ashley Madison was hacked and it's 37 million members are in danger of having their identity leaked. Yes, you heard correct, 37 MILLION MEMBERS. This dating website is for married people to meet up and have affairs with other married people.

Below is the Ashley Madison website information:

~Ashley Madison is the most famous name in infidelity and married dating. As seen on Hannity, Howard Stern, TIME, BusinessWeek, Sports Illustrated, Maxim, USA Today. Ashley Madison is the most recognized and reputable married dating company.Our Married Dating Services for Married individuals Work.

Now that you have read this, do you have any questions? I did. Here are a list of the questions, and thoughts that came to mind after reading about this company and the current security breach.

1. #######? Is this for real?

2. No seriously, is this a real thing?

3. 37 Million people use this? Do these people have jobs?

4. If you're married, and have a job, where the hell do you find the time for a dating website?

5. I am really confused. Thirty-seven million people?

6. If life is short, shouldn't you love the one you're with? You know, the one you married?

7. Who is going to be liable for all of the murders that occur when the 37 million members information is leaked?

8. I hope John Bobbitt isn't a member.

9. I bet divorce attorneys love to advertise on this site.

10. If you're married, aren't you supposed to be monogamous? Am I thinking of something else?

11. You probably need to be really organized to cheat. I can't remember where I put my car keys. I would get caught in like five minutes.

12. Married dating is a thing? If you're married, why are you dating?

13. I am really having a difficult time with this.

14. This is the most reputable married dating company? There are more? Oh Dear Lord!

15. This website has a guarantee? How can you guarantee you will find the perfect affair partner?

16. This is a rabbit hole. I need to stop.

I am very interested to see how this security breach plays out. I am also baffled at the fact that 37 million married people are members of an online dating service. I guess monogamy is a thing of the past. Perhaps we are on the verge of a new definition of marriage. Maybe instead of saying "I do" people should say, "I'll try, but when I get bored, I'll try something else." Because life is short. Have an affair.

This breach got people shaking in their boots...

Without answering all the gazillion questions.. the thing you really need to know is..

IMHO people get hurt when you lie to them. It's much easier to tell someone straight up.. you can love them, maybe forever but you still might want a little treat outside of the relationship every once in a blue moon. You may find your partner loves you so much they might actually encourage you and support you. Not saying its for everyone but people don't get hurt as much when things don't come out of left field.

And the thing that truly changed my mind was when Maria Bello commented on her affair.. http://features.aol.com/video/maria-bello-opens-about-her-affair

And regarding websites with affairs.. really? People need websites to have an affair? How come JFK, Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, Martin Luther King, David Petraeus had affairs without going on Ashley Madison? It's not a requirement..

Three things that always help in affairs. Power, Money, Fame. The people you listed each had one or all three. They're looking for like minded individuals.

Unacceptable...

Unacceptable...

For me, yes. Unacceptable. But if both spouses agree, it is none of my business. I know people in open relationships that work, and in ones that don't.

the minor cardio infarction that I suffered

This is hilarious. Minor Cardio must be the offspring of Eppie Cardio and Perry Cardio.

Unacceptable...

To 50% of the population yes. But to the other 50% it is just harmless fun till you get caught and who's gonna get caught anyways?

For starters the 5 people you mentioned in your previous post????

If you subscribe to the "it's only wrong if you get caught" theory I'm glad I'm not your partner.

I'm saying that's their viewpoint as a few friends of mine are having affairs, they talk to me, but I sure am not going to tell their better half your boytoy has another plaything on the side.

I subscribe to the be truthful up front if you're not able of committing. Less getting hurt later.

Why get married just to cheat?

For me, yes. Unacceptable. But if both spouses agree, it is none of my business. I know people in open relationships that work, and in ones that don't.

Yes. For me too unacceptable. For others if they want to do it, okay... As long as I'm not the one who have to deal with them.

I caught a Bloomberg news blurb and analysis about this, overnight. Handled out of the London office. Their guest analyst mentioned that Law firms, specifically divorce attornies, will benefit the most from this data breach, over the next 18 months.

Wish I could be a fly on the wall so I could see this. And there will be some wives and husbands benefiting from this divorces as well. Can you say, mad alimony payments?

Come on, make 'dealing' profitable, aye?

From topless towelgirl to divorce lawyer, and everything inbetween,

there's money to be made on this.. Yer missing the real estate fire-sales, as well.
