subject: Top 3 Ways Spouses Were Caught Cheating Last Year [print this page] When a suspicious spouse wants to find out if their partner is having an affair, one of the first things they need to determine is the method and/or methods they will use to get the evidence they need to confirm their worst fears.
Here is a list of the top three ways spouses were caught cheating last year. The data used in this list was collected from numerous news sources online dedicated to infidelity, relationships, marriage and divorce statistics, and related blogs.
TOP 3 WAYS CHEATING SPOUSES WERE CAUGHT LAST YEAR
1) PC Spy Software. Usingcheating spouse software that is installed on their spouse's PC, is still the most frequently used method suspicious spouses caught their partners cheating. Today's PC spy software records chat conversations, emails, takes screen shots, and a few of them (such as Sniper Spy) even have options where you can monitor their PC live. Most of the research I've read indicates that spouses were caught cheating via the contents of the chat conversations and browsing history. One thing to point out though, is that it might be against the law to install any type of software without the owner's consent, even if it's your spouse!
2) Spy Phone Software. A surprising number of spouses were caught cheating by phone spyware that was installed directly on their partner's cell phone. This surprised me a bit because this type of software is relatively new, so it's quite shocking to see this method make the headlines as one of the most popular ways a spouse caught their partner cheating last year. The way phone spyware works, is that a suspicious spouse installs it on their partner's cell phone. The software will then secretly record all incoming and outgoing text messages, call logs, and even track their every move via GPS. Some of the more advanced versions of this software even give you the ability to listen in on live calls and remotely activate the cell phone's microphone.
3) Stealth GPS Trackers. GPS tracking devices have surged in popularity in recent years. It's no surprise that this has quietly become a popular way for spouses to catch their cheating partners. A simple search on Google, uncovers hundreds of companies selling very small GPS tracking devices, which can easily be placed on or inside their partner's car. Once the GPS unit is activated, their every movement is tracked, giving the suspicious spouse visibility into the location of their partner. This will enable them to find out if their spouse really is "at the office" or someplace else.
Although there area lot of ways to catch a cheating spouse, the above three were by far the most often used last year. It will be interesting to see what tactics are used in 2010, as more people are using cell phones and social media to communicate and meet up. Perhaps we'll see roughly the same methods or maybe something entirely new? Only time will tell.
