How do we affair-proof our marriages if our spouse is living a digital double life?
It's a good question these days because divorce lawyers say Facebook is their new favorite investigative tool. Why? Because so many people are finding and documenting their affairs on the social networking site. The news this week was ablaze with the story of a man charged with bigamy after his two wives 
accidentally ?met' each other through Facebook.
It's a hot new marriage-wrecking trend of finding ex-loves on Facebook and rekindling old flames. It's seductive on so many levels. The social networking site allows you to create your public image with only your best, well-lit pictures and your wittiest, grammatically correct posts. It happens quickly. You see you've got a message, click on it and in an instant you see the face of an old love. Somehow, maybe it's the magic of Photoshop or your failing midlife eyesight but somehow he has aged gorgeously.
...How are you? Didn't realize you moved back here. Your kids are beautiful. So are you, no surprise, ha ha. I'd love to grab a cup of coffee, catch up. I'm a venture capitalist/partner in my law firm/retired at 52 so I make my own hours. I run a soup kitchen on Mondays and Wednesdays; I have joint custody of my kids but they're in school all day...I'm free and available.....
It's only coffee, you think...couldn't hurt to catch up.
People find each other and despite a 20, 30, or 40-year span, time stops and there you both are, in the heat and hormones of high school prom night, like not one second has gone by.
I had no idea this was going on until I kept hearing about it from old friends I got together with after finding each other on, of course, Facebook.
Here's how to protect your relationship from old flames on new media.
