A divorce lawyer says the biggest threat to your marriage isn’t porn, Tinder or Ashley Madison. It’s the Instagram account of the mom from your kid’s soccer practice.
His reasoning is interesting:
→ Every reason to be on your phone looks innocent
→ A “saw you went to Tulum, where did you stay?” comment is how it starts
→ DMs are like meeting someone alone in a restaurant where nobody can see what you’re saying
→ You scroll while you’re bored on the subway or the toilet, looking at everyone’s best moments
You’re living your blooper reel and comparing it to everyone’s highlight reel.
Then he says divorce lawyers owe the people who built these platforms a debt of gratitude for their job security.
Most affairs don’t start with a decision. They start with a like, a comment and a quick reply when you’re bored, and by the time it feels like something, it has been something for a while.
