- TKDWILSON, on 10/12/2007, -14/+59Sounds like he should have married her after 16 years.
Eric Wilson- dutter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Who's to say this is the first time it happened? This could be just the one he found out about.
- Pstonie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25I guess she got the last word on who's better; Kirk or Picard.
BTW: Picard - osbjmg, on 10/29/2007, -24/+43"Partner" after 17 years? If you can't commit after that amount of time, is it really cheating? That's called waiting around until something better comes along.
- Doggpound, on 10/12/2007, -27/+66Not everyone believes in Marriage. Just because you do not get married does not mean you do not love each other. If you think you need to be Married to be commited I think you have the issues.

Tell that to the homosexuals about legal unions. ("They don't want marriage because marriage is between a man and a woman.") - deweller, on 10/12/2007, -17/+24"If you think you need to be Married to be commited I think you have the issues."
If you are committed for 17 years but are too scared to get married, then I think you have bigger issues. - equusdc, on 10/12/2007, -8/+24Has nothing to do with being "scared" and everything to do with being unnecessary. If you don't have a religious context, it's just a public records issue. In states with common law marriage, they would in fact be married in the eyes of the state after that much time, public record or not. Formal "marriage" is purely an exercise in theatrics at that point. So, scared? Eh, how about "pragmatic."
- diluuk, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6Just because marriage isn't neccessary between two people who are in love, doesn't mean it isn't a good thing to keep people together. If you are married you have to share everything and that makes separation (and divorce) seem not worth it when you have to split up everything that's lumped together. In this way the threat of divorce encourages fidelity.
- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -9/+32You're joking, right?
After all, nothing says I love you like a piece of paper, correct?
I mean, come on. There is NO benefit in a man getting married. Your advice is TERRIBLE. If this guy HAD gotten married, not only would this woman have cheated on him, but when she did it she'd have been able to also divorce him and take him for half of everything he has and a life time of alimoney afterward.
Are you seriously that naive? Naive enough to put your entire financial life into the hands of a woman who can't even keep her legs together? It's poindexters like that who give men a bad name, because it makes us look like pussies.

You are wrong. If a woman cheats on a man and then files for divorce, the man has to pay.
If a man cheats on a woman and then files for divorce, the man has to pay.
There is NO benefit to the man. Only benifit to the woman. Whether or not she cheats. It almost never matters in divorces. Marriage does not keep people together out of fear of losing everything when you cheat, because only one person has any actual risk.
Come on people, get your heads out of your asses. Don't put your entire life on the line for supposed "love". You can call me a dick today but it's better than spending the next 45 years of your life regretting the biggest mistake of your life because you thought it's what you had to do when you were "in love" and that the other person would "never do that to you". - Killerah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"Not everyone believes in Marriage. Just because you do not get married does not mean you do not love each other. If you think you need to be Married to be commited I think you have the issues."
I don't really think marriage had anything to do with the fact that she cheated on him. If you call that commitment then you are the one with the issues. - diluuk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wasn't giving advice to the guy who got cheated on, I was replying to the people saying marriage is unnecessary. I was pointing out a practical reason for getting married (that you share everything) and I was referring to more than just finances(custody of children, everything you've experienced together). Please don't crawl out from under your rock to write any more essays. Thanks
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Probably, but you know, some people are just weird like that.
- digg0t, on 10/12/2007, -5/+45That would suck, after 17 years. Back to pron hey?
- pyrix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2In the comments on his blog he mentions that she was a litigation lawyer. I would guess she probably kicked in more to the couple's assets than he did.
- schlagzeuger, on 10/12/2007, -8/+41at least he doesn't have to give her half (or more) of his stuff since they weren't married. bitch
- LoganKriete, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually, he said that he was in the process of dividing their stuff up...that's real unlucky for him...
- daza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5If you live with someone for that long, you still have to (at least in Australia).
- Nik420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7same in Canada - after 6 months of cohabitation you are considered common law. Courts see common law as equivalent to marriage.
- Drahkar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4In the US. At least in Oregon, Common Law Marriages go into effect after you have lived in a 'relationship' with said person in the same house for over 7 years. At that point in the eyes of the law you are considered married and can take legal action accordingly.
- djdole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They said they were dividing up their stuff. I'm guessing that it's probably just the stuff they bought together.
LIke I'm living with my girlfriend, and our stuff is a mix of my stuff and hers, and if we were to ever split it would take a few days if not weeks to sort out what's mine and what's hers.
Just like anyone else, I could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted his separation of stuff comment. - dougmc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For those talking about them being common law married ...
Common law marriage laws vary from place to place, but generally they require that 1) you live together for a period of time (and it's usually quite short -- in Texas I think two weeks is sufficient) and 2) that you present yourselves as husband and wife. Without #2, you're not common law married, no matter how long you've lived together.
It is quite easy to present yourselves as married, however -- merely telling somebody that this is your wife, or checking into a hotel as Mr and Mrs could do it. But if you don't tell people you're married -- you're not, at least not under the common law marriage laws.
More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage - Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7In a number of states, you have to pay a woman alimony equal to half the number of years you were together. If you were together for 6 years, you have to pay her for three. However, if you were together for TEN OR MORE years then you have to pay alimony FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE to her.
This is why marriage does not benefit a male. Purely from the standpoint of the male being unwise to risk his financial stability for the rest of his entire life. She can cheat on you, go off with another dude, hook up with him, build a new life with him and you are STILL screwed. There is NO pussy so good that you should still be paying hundreds of dollars per month for it 20 years later.
Until men get this romantic ***** out of their heads and look at the potential consequences, they will continue to get *****. Don't let someone talk you into believing that a piece of paper and an expensive ring somehow increases the amount of love between two people. It doesn't. And when you do fall in love later on, it won't be fair to THAT person or yourself or your future kids that you will have to be taking a chunk of money out of THEIR life to pay for some poon that you had back in your 20s.
- marthaphoebe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+49he says he doesn't hate her
o he will
he will- billyboobs34, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I will hate her for him
- ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5If he doesnt hate her for cheating then he's a pussy and it's no surprise she went roaming for a more adequate man.
This dude needs to grow a backbone.
- zoltan, on 10/12/2007, -29/+7oh man thats awesome..
- Jakerius, on 10/12/2007, -29/+6Haha, that's awesome. Cool that stuff like this happens.
- SeanMoney, on 10/12/2007, -24/+3dugg, nice tactic
- kimzor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Unlucky for the guy..nice geek way of doing things tho!
- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"If someones going to be unfaithful, marriage won't stop them from cheating."
Precisely. And unfortunately, who did the cheating almost never matters in a divorce. So you could be "the good guy" and your wife could cheat on you with an entire football team and she would still end up with your money. And unfortunately, even prenups aren't iron-clad. They are often overturned by a judge during a divorce in favor of the woman anyway.
I think there is a good reason for marriage if you have children. I definitely don't see a reason otherwise.
Also, you can never be absolutely sure who is and is not a gold digger. They're called gold diggers for a reason. So protect yourself.
I've never been married and I've also never been cheated on. I've seen enough people cheated on, however - in more than one case by someone who got married with the sole intention of getting divorced a few years later and wallowing in the guy's finances from the divorce (he made almost 500k/yr).
You'd like to think that you can trust everyone, but you can't. So it's wise to be cautious. You wouldn't hook up with someone at a night club and pass on using a condom just because they tell you "oh, I'm clean". This is sort of the same thing.
- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"If someones going to be unfaithful, marriage won't stop them from cheating."
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -50/+3haha truley why call him a geek... not even smart enough to marry a girl he's been with for nearly two decades... It's about time we just called him gay and said he made the whole thing up, unles that would be too immature for this crowd.
- Stockwell, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Do you need to get married after X number of years?
Stupid reasoning.
Marriage would've given him the worse deal of the bargain in this case. - djdole, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11@jer2eydevil88 (troll)
Exactly HOW would marrying her stop her from cheating?
If someones going to be unfaithful, marriage won't stop them from cheating. - Frinkiac7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I totally agree, djdole.
After being in a cheating situation with my ex and seeing so many other couple deal with cheating girlfriends/wives, I'm starting to pick up a trend. When back in the olden days, women had such a difficult time getting a guy in a committed relationship, now it seems the gender roles have flip-flopped and now girls can't keep a commitment.
To me, it seems to tie back to the feminist movements and the whole "independent woman" trend. Since women can now live with the mindset that they can do everything for themselves and don't need others to help them, they no longer feel it necessary to stick with a commitment they made to that other person. I also found, in congruence, that women (in a committed relationship or not) will still knowingly flirt with other guys and lead them on (even if she has no intentions of doing anything, though that can change) in order to simply boost her own self-esteem (straight from a female source!).
Given there are amazing, trustworthy women out there, they seem like they are quickly becoming an endangered species.
Has anyone else noticed these trends or is it just me?
- Stockwell, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Do you need to get married after X number of years?
- arestme, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21I hate her!
- fullstop102, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Well at least because he didn't marry her, he can get straight onto eHarmony and get dating again :P
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/living/community/14199052.htm?source=rss&channel=siliconvalley_community - QueenOfSwords, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29I'll just state the obvious here and say that if you are considering setting up a laptop for packet sniffing so you can catch your gf or bf cheating, save yourself the expense and just dump their ass because it sounds like the relationship is over anyway.....
Cool bust though. :)- equusdc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Busting their butt for something like this is a good way of either bleeding them dry in court or preventing them from even thinking about doing the same to you.
- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Busting their butt for something like this is a good way of either bleeding them dry in court or preventing them from even thinking about doing the same to you."
Most states have no-fault divorce, meaning it doesn't matter who did what.
- cyrix, on 10/12/2007, -28/+5They were together for that long and didn't get married? No wonder she cheated!
- Stockwell, on 10/12/2007, -8/+26No marriage = cheating ??? what a simpleton way of reasoning.
She would probably have cheated on him earlier if they would've been married (psychology lesson now - see google)
Where do you guys come from? the Bible-belt? 19th century England?
This is the 21st century.
Marriage is no garantee that your partner won't go cheating. - cyrix, on 10/12/2007, -18/+4Hi.
It was a joke, get over it.
- Stockwell, on 10/12/2007, -8/+26No marriage = cheating ??? what a simpleton way of reasoning.
- dutter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Half his stuff could be at stake depending where they live if there are provisions for common-law marriage. Insert usual legal disclaimer here.
- kakos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Unless they called each other husband and wife, there is no common law marriage. If simply living with a person for so many years resulted in marriage, there would be a fair number of people who would be married but have never even been intimate with each other. Case in point, a friend of mine's best friend is female. He's lived with her in various apartments for the past five years, but would never consider each other married (they're both gay).
- lane.montgomery, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2@kakos
So if they were married would it be gay marriage?
j/k, but I couldn't resist. - MrUnderbridge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hey Kakos, I think that depends substantially on your jurisdiction. Many states *do* have common-law marriage provisions, often after 7 years of cohabitation.
- ph713, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1
Around here (it varies by state), you have to live together (I don't think it matters how long), and you have to refer to yourself as "Mr and Mrs" something to others enough that people "know" you as that, or use the "Mr and Mrs" thing somewhere official, like a hotel guest registry, etc.
- pendetim, on 10/12/2007, -19/+4Too much time spent being a "geek" and not enough being a "partner" ? Still after all that time, must really hurt.
- Iconoclast5000, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Why the assumption that he is at fault because he wasn't being a good partner? She was the one who was cheating. Would we be saying that she was a bad partner if he was the one cheating? No he would just be a cheating bastard. This modern notion that men are always in the wrong is sickening.
- djdole, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6How is HE at fault because SHE cheated?
Cheating is not justifiable. If she wasn't happy she should have talked to him, not cheat and put him at risk for whatever STD she could pick up. - Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7You are an idiot.
I'm tired of hearing bitches excuse their infidelities because "he spent all his time at work" or "he didn't pay enough attention to me". Look, bitch -- men have to work. We don't have the option of sitting around the house doing nothing and letting someone else take care of us (unless you're Kevin Federline). We work from a teenager until the day we die and we live fewer years because of it. You can't have the good life and have us provide for you AND bitch about us working too much. Grow up. You're not daddy's little princess and the world doesn't revolve around you. - TylerDurden0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Your men drop like flies from coronary thrombosis while your women sit around all day under hair dryers, eating chocolates, and arranging for every 2nd Thursday to be some sort of Mother's Day."

- infra172, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3"Partner"?
- Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, when you get to a certain age, saying girlfriend/boyfriend sounds ridiculous, even if you are in a new relationship.
- Stockwell, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Good thing they weren't married.
Is there a reason to get married? If you're a woman prolly yes --> you can pluck your ex dry even if she's the one going double.
A nice tech savvy way of getting busted.
oh well, used the same tactic on my g'friend for 9years (and mother of my son) a couple of years ago.
I came out of it better than she - she had to take anti-depressants for months to come and I got custody over my son.
That'll teach non-tech-savvie bitches to go cheating on their tech-savvy boyfriends.
Oh I love modern day technology.

- KingAdrock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3its the same thing as tapping your phone
- jaypatrick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A packet is the fundamental "chunk" of data that goes over networks (internet included). At it's core, it's nothing more than raw binary data that can be easily transformed back into readable text if it's unencrypted. That's what a packet sniffer does...intercepts the data (packets) and turns it back into readable text. This is why websites that gather confidential information (i.e. credit card or SSN's) use SSL (https)...the packets are encrypted and can't be deciphered by a packet sniffer.
Most folks would have used a keylogger...the way this guy did it is actually quite clever.
- nigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Reminds me of when I suspected my long-time girlfriend was cheating - I set up a keylogger on my PC to capture her webmail password and then later set it up to forward all her new mails to another mail address specifically created for that purpose.
Didn't find anything using that method but I just followed my gut instinct and confronted her anyway. Turns out she'd been shagging some other guy for a couple of months behind my back.
I continued to read her emails for months afterwards out of sad, stalkeresque curiousity .. worst thing ever to do. Every time her new bloke emailled her I'd feel angry and sick. Eventually I realised what a fool I was being and changed the snooper mail account password to something random that I'd never remember, and gave that ***** up. - techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Maybe because you were dating for 17 years!? That's longer than my Dad has been married to my step-mom.
:P - Hanthus, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3His post is dated march 22.
2 days later, she posted this:
"Just after we returned from this year's trip to Megève I was bemoaning the fact that I was back, keen to "run away to the circus" and do another season and wondering how it could be possible to fit all of the interesting ski related things that are going on around "real life".
Well, due to a completely unexpected and major change to what's generally referred to as "real life" (see my techie blog for details). I suddenly find myself in a position to be able to do pretty much anything I want... In an effort to give myself something to look forward to and focus my mind away from my current problems I've booked onto the Peak Leaders BASI Ski Instructor course in Argentina this summer. So, at the end of July I'm off to Bariloche in Argentina for a couple of months. Should be fun!"

- jhub908, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33 points for technology! Just goes to show, us geeks are quite resourceful. Don't cheat on us.
I wonder how many people have pulled off technology based spying to some degree on unsuspecting girlfriends? - PirateX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Geez, that situation sucks!! ..Wouldn't be easier for that guy to get a keystroke logger instead of setting up a sniffer? (Laptop, Hub, Ethereal , Remote Desktop and then analyze dumps) . They lived 2get her...
Dugg for the geek style, but so much effort if there are better ways.- kosmicki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It sounds like he was trying to sniff a WiFi at first, she likely has a laptop. Hard to install a hardware logger without her noticing. And as far as a software one, she may not have allowed him access to the laptop, she was cheating on him from it.
- 3lite, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2ok.. so what? who cares? and on the front page, too. gosh
- elamr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Keyloggers work better. But you will feel dirty spying and learn quickly that if you can't trust your partner then the partnership is not worth having.

Be careful with marriage. Just ask Anthony Cumia about the checks he writes to his ex-wife.

I feel this guys pain- TheTankengine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How the hell do you "social engineer" a password?
- jaypatrick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Start typing in random stuff like dog's name, cat's name, city of birth, since she's a chick froo froo stuff like rainbow, sunshine, etc. Or trick her into telling you after feeding her a bottle of wine. Etc. Getting passwords out of people you know well is quite easy actually. Sites that have "password reminder" questions are even easier to bypass if you know the person well.
- t1da1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I think we're missing a lot of details on the nature of their relationship. I find it tough to believe that his girlfriend found a relationship of 17 years with seemingly no prospect of permanent commitment to be satisfying. I'm still young so I probably am just naive, but from my experience it seems that women like to have stability and know their partner is committed to them. If they've only been "dating" for 17 years I could easily see her wanting to settle down in a relationship that has prospects of marriage, children, you know... things that are rewarding and fulfilling. Don't all flame me, I'm just trying to say we don't know the details and I'm willing to bet that I'm not too far off the mark on what probably happened here.
- freebirdpat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It may not be as simple as her finding the relationship unsatisfying, a may be a simple thing as it was a risky thing for her to do, and quite taboo, which is sort of exciting in a way for some people.
Psychologically, its probably not as simple as you or I make it out to be.

- t1da1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's probably true. I did leave out the kinky factor. I suppose it's impossible to really know what goes in in people's heads. I'm still thinking that dating for 17 years probably had a big part to do with it though.
- NoSalt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1DUGG BABY!!!!
This guy is my new hero! - Polaris75, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4oooo ... this is *SO* cool! And *SO frontpage worthy! This guy is totally 31337!!!!!!!eleventy-one!
Give me a freaking break, I did all this crap like two years ago when I suspected my ex was cheating on me ... people sniff crap all the time, there is nothing special about this guy ... this is user-level skills plus reading a couple "HOW-TOs", and he didn't even do it on unix ...

If this person had to packet sniff to figure out there was a problem in the relationship, he probably should've spent more time sniffing his girlfriend. It's not -that- hard to figure out when your S.O. is cheating, unless you're paying all your attention to packet sniffers and none to your girlfriend. - sbin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Doesn't seem like he trusted her anyways. If it's like that then there's probably a good reason. And when you don't trust someone after 17 years. Just get out.
Anyways there's worse than cheating. She could love someone else. Tell you about it. And not break up with you basically because the guy won't be with her. Then tell you about that also. Leaving you wondering "what am I for?"... true story folks- deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If my GF told me that, I'd drop kick her (figuratively) right out the door. There is such a thing as self-respect, my fellow Digg member.
- TylerDurden0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Goddamn, man... thanks for the uplifting story. You just ruined my day.
- vernsan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1People posting that hes an idiot for not marrying her over and over and over on the site isn't gonna help the guy, but I also do think that it may have contributed them to go their seperate ways, because of the wanting to be married thing can get stressful. Plus I wonder how old they were.
- mkrygeri, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I nailed my beotch Xwife with a keylogger. No need for the sniffer. She got her cloths I got the house... heheh
- joshthejest, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is quite possibly the saddest story on digg that I have read so far. Some say that he didn't trust her already, but he had a right not to trust her.... SHE WAS CHEATING! It is neat that he used technology to catch her, because I don't think that I would have thought of it.
- metalaaron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it's actually fairly simple and becoming more popular these days. people get a false sense of security and anonymity on the internet when in fact it's the easiest place in the world to track history.
- thepaulm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In response to some of the technical stuff in TFA:
Most switches will allow you to do port repeating, so that you can have all traffic on port X be repeated on port Y - thus allowing monitoring of the traffic and the ability for
ethereal to work. Not sure about the wifi. - Veamon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2I call *****. Someone wanting their blog popular, so they post it here. If this guy is so technically minded, why is he using Remote Desktop where it locks the computer out. I think someone would notice if all of a sudden they had to unlock it everytime they tried to use it.
