Apple's Find My Friends App Catches Cheating Wife

[J.J]

So if they do break up, the guy is pretty eff'd for the future. Like, can you imagine when this conversation comes up?

Woman: "So you said you had a previous marriage?"

Man: "Yeah, I found out that she was cheating on me..."

Woman: "Oh my god! What happened?"

Man: "Well I installed a tracking app on an iPhone and then gave it to her. Then I located her at another mans house."

Woman: "So...you... tracked... her... without her knowing...?"

Man: "Yes."

Woman: "O-oh..."

Man: "...So you wanted to talk about moving our relationship forward?"

Woman: "Did I say that?"

In all seriousness: Legalities. Trust. All in all this is some bull from both ends of the spectrum. I'll leave it as this: I hope the both of them get whatever they have coming to them from these actions. There's is not nearly enough information to pass any sort of judgement on the either of their situations outside of "Oh, the app works. That's some fine, new technology!"

Its going to be hilarious when she turns around and sues him for doing this. Between personal privacy and tampering with property, you just know there's a broken law there somehwere.

Don't quote me on this, but marriage is about co-ownership. I wouldn't be surprised if legally, the phone is just as much his, as it is hers.

I may just piss many people off today... but...

1. This is stalking to the next level! GPS on your wife?

2. Installing a tracing app with out her knowing, isn't that against the law?

3. He posted this on public forum? Isn't this like... personal life?

4. This is clearly plotting for court action! Maybe even suit for money!~

5. Clearly, this marriage have no love, at lease from the guy's side, distrusting the wife first, and took action too... what ever happens to "talk it out"? what happen to honesty? doing so, he had become something worse than his wife... she just lack love, couldn't decide, torn between 2 men? (thinking romance?) but he clearly just want to kick her in the ass, and probably get some a$$et while doing so... yes, she lied, but you are worse, you tapped/GPSed her/Plotted your divorce while PRETEND to be innocent... that's just messed up....

there... I said it... need to get that out of my system...

1. No argument there.

2. No, the phone was his when he added the app, she didn't remove it, it is a really grey area.

3. No, he was anonymous enough.

4. Court action like divorce?

5. As many smart people said above, of course the marriage should be over no matter which way this goes, I would argue against her though for keeping the relationship up while cheating with some other guy, and pretending to be innocent. She's taking advantage of him the whole time, and while I wouldn't invite either of them to a barbecue, I fail to see why you hold in worse regard.

ok, i always wanted to have an app like that, finding people like this is awesome idea.

as for the story itself, guess she shouldnt have hidden it from him in the first place.

It's her. The one having sex with a third party. That is the person more in the wrong here. Cheating on your spouse is a worse thing than installing an app on someone's phone. This is not debatable.

For a man named Canus your pretty thick. Violating personal privacy is FAR WORSE than having sex with third party. Infact the only wrong thing was her hiding it, the actual act is not wrong anyway.

Of course the actual act is wrong. You enter into an exclusive marriage with one other person, that's the person you share yourself with. You want to play around, you don't get married. Fucking logic.
Also - my girlfriend's and my phone are pretty open. If she wants to pick up my phone and read my messages, she can. And I can do the same. Is this an invasion of privacy? Well, we live together. There is really nothing to keep private anymore. And we're not married, so a married couple has even LESS reason to keep secrets. I still say diaries and such are off-limits though, but communication with other people has no reason to be kept private.

If she wanted to install that app on an iPhone she bought for me, I'd be fine with it. I'd be annoyed if she used it to actively follow me and physically show up where I am all the time, but if it's just so she can see at a glance where I am, then it's fine.

Try thinking before you call somebody else thick.

 

[Continuity]

He didn't do anything wrong... its not breaking her privacy any more than hiring a private detective.

She on the other hand is despicable and deserves to get nothing in the divorce.

If you want to go to court for it (cause this seems to be the common complaint in small claims civil court shows) it would come down to the idea of if a gift is legally transferring. So is it hers cause he gave it to her, or it his still his causehe went out to get it in the first place.

Then again I could be wrong.

 

[PunkZERO]

Might have been said here before but:

If he has to lower himself THAT much because of distrust and she actually IS cheating on him...well it couldn't have been the happiest marriage in the first place.

 

[SharpRus]

Well, it's good to know that Apple is providing cutting edge software with their new phone. Wait, no, Latitude was around for years now. Well, at least it's another reason why the 4gs is better than the 4g. No, you can get latitude on 4g. Why is this news again?

As for the privacy invasion, there is a difference between knowing the location of strangers and knowing the location of your family. She isn't home at 1 am on a Friday night, and lies about her location. No, that doesn't prove anything, but it is at least suspicious. And the pics are enough to confront her and get her to admit it.

Going on a forum to brag about how your clever ploy came together is at best immature. This is a private matter, and should have been dealt with without getting the public involved.

um... because I am a Christian, and to my thought, both are wrong, but I do not encourage divorce, after all... "..to health and to sickness... To rich and to poor..." they oath-ed and they should work it out, not by dumping each other at the first sign of trouble.. or worse, plotting against each other in the name of vengeance... that was just messed up... at lease to me... (what if she was just planing a surprise party? with a male friend... and he thought she was cheating... look how that would turn out to be?) a relationship lack of communication, and trust, is one on the verge of clasping, in this case, he is planting TNTs at the foundation...

 

[EHKOS]

I feel really bad for the husband. Just because he found out his wife is cheating it means now he's in trouble. And a lot of Escapists agree with that. Geez people there is legal and then there's right. Don't let the law tell you what to do and then blindly follow it. He doesn't deserve the counter-sue he's about to be served with.

Even if you don't support divorce, you could at least see that this marriage was not going to end well after what they both did. If you are Christian, then wouldn't the cheating be worse as it directly breaks two of the commandments?

I don't see anything wrong with his actions. My cheating husband left me when he got caught 8 months ago. I would have loved to have known how long the affair had been going on ahead of time. It would have saved me so much heartbreak. If he confronted her about the cheating, she would NOT have told him the truth, and would have just gotten better at hiding it.

I was under the impression that there is no expectation of privacy between husband and wife. This was how I was able to look at my ex's bank statements to find out he was spending money on the mistress.

Seriously, if you suspect your spouse is cheating, they probably are. How are you in the wrong for wanting to make sure? I am also pretty sure that New York is one of the few non "no fault" states, meaning that proof of an affair DOES impact the way a divorce goes down. In Florida my ex could sleep with the whole state and we would still have had to split everything 50/50. Why should the husband lose his home, his car, his life because his wife could not remain faithful?

 

[Low Key]

At least the man had justification for doing it. That's all I have to say about that since it's not really the topic.

Electronics are getting creepy as hell. All of the stuff that can be done on them and what kind of data is saved. I guess people just don't really think about their phone like that though.

 

[Nickolai77]

Good for Mr Metz, i applaud his actions.

About 4-5 years ago i suspected my ex was cheating by cybering with this guy in the US, so i went through her conversation history when she was asleep and found her out essentially. That makes me and Mr Metz guilty for betraying a partners trust, but by far the more guilty party is the one caught cheating. And besides, if the suspecting party does not act on their suspicions then whomever is cheating does not get caught and get's away with it.

 

[shadowstriker86]

im with the guy on this one, let that cheating skank burn and let it be a lesson to people: if you wanna cheat on your significant other, just dump them and save the drama
