My husband and I were stuck in parent mode – so I started a quasi-affair
Confirmed
In Short: A married woman has confessed to engaging in a quasi-affair with a man who was also married.
In her parents' day, in the 1980s, she says, removing a wedding ring at a drinks party would have been a sign of infidelity.
Or failing to mention a husband when someone offers to buy a drink at the bar could have been considered a subtle form of cheating.
She admits to 'micro-cheating' on her husband for 18 months, a term that describes a series of small, flirtatious actions that do not constitute a full-blown affair.
I’m not proud of it but I have been micro-cheating on my husband for 18 months,' she told The i Paper.
A woman in Indiana also found herself in a similar situation when she started dating a man who lived 1,000 miles away.
During a casual conversation at a post-race event, she mentioned that she and her husband were trying therapy.
The man then revealed that he and his wife were also ending their marriage.
As they started seeing each other, she noticed that his social media posts shifted from pictures with his wife to solo activities.
She then drafted a message to the woman, confessing her relationship with her husband and apologizing.
The chatbot misidentified cargo on a ship, leading to a near-miss situation.
The parts were headed from Australia to the US for repairs but were diverted to Hong Kong, raising concerns about sensitive military technology falling into the wrong hands.
