Cheating made easy app

Happy New Year one and all.

2016 seems to have started with some good news for those cheaters out there! Whilst this story made me laugh this week, I can't help but think that in many ways, technology is getting to the point where it is somewhat detrimental to long lasting relationships.

Swytch - a revolutionary app, allows users to have up to five additional mobile phone numbers on their existing smartphone. As The Mirror reported, Chris Michael, CEO and Co-Founder of the app said:

‘’while this [app] may assist people who have already decided to have affairs, I cannot believe that would be a factor in their decision to start one…Facebook made it easier to meet people and dating app Tinder literally made it easier to hook up with people.  There will always be innovative services bringing great value to the users they were built for, and they will always end up being hijacked by a marginal number of users with ulterior motives."

So agreed - Swytch is not going to give cause to cheat in the beginning, but is definitely going to help those who wish to hide something.  Let’s hope that many individuals see sense and instead choose to talk through relationship problems rather than living double lives.

Mediation is a process to help couples who are on the cusp or have decided to separate or divorce to talk things through.  As a trained mediator, I can help you reach agreement about how to make the best arrangements for the future.
