Suspicion Your Wife Having an Extramarital Affair?
(Thu Jan 22nd, 2009, by Ed Opperman)


Copyright (c) 2009 Ed OppermanYou have a sneaking suspicion that your wife may be cheating on you. Maybe you do not even have anything to go by other than a "gut feeling" that your wife may be talking to, or even seeing, another man. The feeling is a horrible one, to be sure. However, before you go and confront your wife on your suspicions, it is a good idea to have proof of an extramarital affair, or one in the making, otherwise you may do irreparable harm to your relationship.Identifying traits of an unfaithful wifeThere are certain traits, or signs, that may indicate that your wife has started seeing, or at least talked to, another man. While these signs may present themselves for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with her having an extramarital affair, they are also telltale signs of a cheating wife -- especially if you notice several of them.-Your wife has a renewed interest in "looking better" -- she may start up a gym membership, start jogging, or start to take a renewed interest in her general appearance. Your wife spends an unusual amount of time on the computer-Your wife sets up a secret email account-You receive strange calls at your home, or your wife starts to clear the Caller ID and/or voicemail out of the blue-You find birth control pills, or even condoms, when they are not a part of your relationship with your wife-Your wife becomes overly affectionate, or at least much more so than in the past-Your wife seems distant, withdrawn, or even indifferent to what you say or think-Your wife suddenly stops wanting to share her days' events with you, or her feelings about something that has happened-Your wife's sexual drive changes -- either she wants to incorporate new ideas into your relationship, or she starts to make up excuses to avoid physical intimacyNow, if your wife is displaying any of these signs, it could be an indicator that your wife is having an extramarital affair, or it could just be that she is going through one of life's many changes. Do not jump to conclusions, though -- accusations can make it more difficult to catch a cheater, and false accusations can destroy an otherwise good relationship.How to catch a cheating wifeIn today's high-tech world, a common starting place for an extramarital affair is on the internet. Because of this, investigation of extramarital infidelity requires a different approach than infidelity investigations of even the not-so-distant past. There are online services that will allow you to either confirm, or disprove, your suspicion that your wife may be cheating on you.Do not harm your potentially good relationship over a gut instinct. While thinking that your wife is having an extramarital affair is a bad feeling, potentially destroying your marriage over a false accusation is the wrong way to go. Before you confront her, get evidence that she is, in fact, in a new relationship, or at least looking for one. Online fidelity investigation services are a great place to start with your research.

New Innovations - A Fun Way To Create Them


How do you dream up new innovations? There are many ways. One of the most fun, though, is the modifying-word list. It all begins with the question, "What if it was...?"You may have heard of this problem-solving, idea-generating technique before. The basic idea is to start with a particular problem or product and ask "What if it was bigger... smaller... cheaper... more expensive... less complicated... more complicated... more colorful?" and so on. The words are from a list that you work your way through for each problem or invention.This is an easy way to come up with ideas for new innovations. Suppose you make refrigerators, for example, and need a new product. You ask "What if it was smaller?" A thermos-sized cooler operated by a small battery comes to mind. "What if it was cooler?" makes you think about the fact that the heat removed blows into the room, fighting against the air conditioning in the summer. Perhaps you could design a refrigerator that vents the hot air outside. Each word has the potential to give you a new idea.What if you don't have a specific problem or project in mind, though? What if you are just looking for a new innovation in any areas to work on, or you just like to invent things as a mental exercise? In that case, there is another way to use a modifying-word list, and it may be even more fun. Just start with the word instead of the thing or idea. Then apply the modifying word to everything you can think of.For example, if you start with the word "easier," you just look around at things and ask, "What if it was easier?"Lights. It would be easier to turn them on in the dark if they were voice-activated.Plants. Sell a line of plants that are almost impossible to kill, for those of us that can't seem to keep house plants alive.Democracy. Maybe that company that makes the "For Dummies" books should add "Democracy For Dummies" to their line. Perhaps secure online voting would make it easier than going to the polls.Brainpower. Three deep breaths always wakes up my brain. I bet it would work better if I had a small and easy to use oxygen dispenser.To get in the habit of using this technique, you can either use the traditional technique - write down a few items and create innovations in your mind using the word list. Or you can try this other version - pick a modifier, like "more common," and apply it to everything you see today, asking, "What if it was more common?" You never know what ideas and innovations will come to mind.The New Innovations Word ListWhat if it was... easier... more difficult... larger... smaller... farther away... closer... sooner... later... softer... harder... poorer... richer... higher... lower... longer... shorter... certain... uncertain... newer... older... divided... combined... more common... less common... faster... slower... better... worse... cheaper... more expensive... hotter... colder... added to... subtracted from... unchanged... imaginary?The list above is a basic one. You can start with that, but there are hundreds of idea-generating words you could add to it. Any adjectives, descriptive phrases, or words that can change your perspective can be potentially useful for stimulating ideas for new innovations.
