subject: "Who the [BLEEP] Did I Marry" Becomes Television Hit Overnight [print this page] The new reality television series "Who the [BLEEP] Did I Marry" became the number one premiere in network history after it aired on Wednesday, August 25 on the Investigation Discovery channel. According to the results of a recent Nielsen survey, "Who the [BLEEP] Did I Marry" captured 382,000 views in the 25-54 age group.
The series, airing this fall, revolves around bad marriage stories told by people who thought they knew who they were married to until a surprise past surfaces, leaving them to wonder why they didn't do a background check on the person before so readily saying "I do."
In one case, an unsuspecting woman met her future husband in church of all places. Ana claims she met her Cuban Don Juan in church and believed his story about being a defector from the Cuban military. They dated for three years before finally tying the knot. Less than a year after their marriage, her husband disappeared during a trip to Key West. It was then that she found out by watching a television news show that her husband was actually a Cuban spy.
Other cases involve a woman who meets and marries Mr. Right only to find out years later that he is capable of robbing banks, and a woman who meets a man on the internet, marries him four months later, then finds out that he is not only fleecing her out of hundreds of thousands of dollars but also doing the same to other women he's met on the internet. From secret spouses to criminal pasts to affairs lasting years, the stories told all come down to one thing, a betrayal of trust.
It is no wonder why this show is so popular with the 20-50 year age group. In today's society, making a love connection involves huge leaps of faith, especially when so many are going online to meet people. We've all heard stories of friends who've met the men of their dreams online, handsome, good jobs, great family background, only to find out that when the two actually meet in person the man is nothing at all what he described himself to be or worse.
However, taking chances in today's society isn't really necessary when it is so easy and inexpensive to run a background check on someone before you invest yourself and your finances in a relationship that can turn out as badly as those on "Who the [BLEEP] Did I Marry."
While many online companies offer free background checks and name searches, oftentimes the information provided is minimal, outdated and of no real help. If you find yourself in a situation that has you wondering who the [bleep] am I planning to marry, the small amount you'll pay for a quality online service such as www.MyBackgroundCheck.com to gain information for anything from multiple identities to criminal records will ultimately provide you the peace of mind needed to decide if you truly have met the person of your dreams. It's better safe than sorry.
