Caught in the act

Here's an Australian study that says 25 percent of cell phone users found out their partner or someone else's was being unfaithful through text messages.

It got me thinking about the "best" way to find out your partner is having an affair. I'd much rather walk in on my guy making out with somebody than stumble upon piles and piles of amorous letters he'd written behind my back.

That scenario does give you the unforgettable image of your boyfriend kissing another woman. But it makes it easier to regard the affair as a purely physical thing.

When you find a bunch of sappy love letters, or a couple gushy texts, you realize he actually has feelings for somebody else.

Yes, when it comes to cheating, the ideal scenario is no scenario.

But if you had to discover someone was lying to you, how would you want it to play out?
