Don't even get me started on the spectacle of televised cheating and how they completely trivialize one of the most agonizing aspects of a struggling couple's life together.
Though Jerry Springer is now long-gone, it doesn't change the fact that there is no shortage of unscrupulous souls out there who are dying to get a crack at picking up where he left off case in point, Cheaters.
Thankfully, Cheaters doesn't feature a gang of rowdy, completely insensitive goons cheering on as a couple gets mixed up in a heated conflict, but that doesn't make this show any better in taste as Springer's lurid circus. As much as it's every victim of infidelity's right to know if something is going on, why make such a public mess of things?
But there is one aspect of this situation, very little seem to consider how many of the allegations we see on the tube are genuinely warranted? Are we really seeing the whole picture?
Setting up the unsuspecting for a cheap thrill is nothing new and neither is getting entertainment at the expense of a potentially innocent party. Let's face it...Hollywood has quite a long history of lesser-known scandals as far as realistic and accurate depictions of "real life" situations go.
Do you ever read every contract given to you word for word? I don't. Imagine the following scenario:
When someone presumes their spouse is cheating on them and approaches Cheaters, do they read the fine print? What if there's something in the contract that waives the show from any responsibility to prove guilt 100%?
Simply put Are we being subjected to a drama factory simply for the sake of ratings?
I mean, let's not forget that one of America's largest and most globally recognized entertainment firms had us believe that all lemmings throw themselves off cliffs each spring.
Facts always get in the way of good drama and it's been uncovered a time or two that supposed reality TV was staged, but when so much is on the line in terms of the value of a marriage, how much is too much?
If my significant other ever tried to resolve anything with me on TV, be it cheating or even who does more cleaning around the house, the realtionship would end on the spot. No debate, no reasoning.
If you suspect your spouse of infidelity, you have an uphill battle to tackle as it is. By bringing the public into your mess, no matter what the outcome of the "investigation," you're setting yourself up for a far greater bit of trouble.
Innocent before proven guilty Remember that one? Just keep in mind that if your relationship means anything to you that by approaching your spouse with suspicions you'll be bringing some potentially painful stress into the relationship.
But to escalate your suspicions and airing the dirty laundry for all to see and maybe even slandering your potentially innocent spouse's name in public you could be destroying a far smaller problem that could have been more easily fixed than you thought.
