With new technologies comes new challenges and opportunity for a spouse to be unfaithful. But the ease of technology doesn't make it right.

When a partner discovers that their spouse is involved in a relationship with someone who they have close ties with and that relationship crosses the line of being friends to that of a more intimate one, you are bound to experience a wide variet of emotions and reactions.

1. Guilt may arise when a spouse is feeling guilty over breaking the trust with their husband or wife by crossing that line of privacy and checking into things such as personal email accounts, cell phone records, and brief cases.

2. Sadness may arise over the fact that your spouse is now sharing the more private and intimate parts of their day and life with the other person when they used to share it with you.

3. Anger may arise towards your spouse for putting effort into the relationship with the other person when really they should be putting effort into your own marriage.

4. Feeling neglected by your partner because he or she is sharing a connection with the other person and not with you.

5. Being defensive towards your spouse for coming down on you due to the fact that their privacy and personal accounts and belongings have been searched through.
