The New York Times recently released an op-ed articles discussing Sandra Bullock’s divorce from Jesse James.  The author used Sandra Bullock’s divorce from her adulterous husband and her recent Academy Award for Best Actress to pose a philosophical question about happiness.  I personally thought the article was in bad taste.

Sandra Bullock is obviously going through a very challenging personal time and she is very emotionally vulnerable.  Catching your husband cheating on you is an extremely painful shock.

More recent news reports recount Jesse James fleeing a sex addiction rehab center, Sierra Tuscon, after Bullock refused his phone call.  Allegedly he wants to save the marriage, but Bullock has decided to call it quits.

Mel Gibson did not have a pre-nuptial agreement.  Costly mistake Mel.

Mel Gibson and his soon-to-be-ex Australian wife, Robyn Moore, are selling their Malibu family mansion for $16 million dollars as their divorce enters its final phases.  Gibson has been forced to carve up his estate and assets throughout his long-standing divorce proceedings.

Gibson’s divorce could have been a lot faster, cheaper and less painful for his family had he and Robyn had the foresight to enter into a pre-nuptial agreement before taking the plunge to get married.

Today’s technology has enabled amazing advancements for modern society.  It allows us to communicate easier, find people with similar interests faster and trade media at lightening speeds.  The internet has also spurred on what our ancestors termed adultery in new ways…

Pornography, chat rooms, dating sites, “hookup sites” and the like have spread like a forest fire through the Net.  Today, if you are cheating on your spouse it is easier to cheat, but its also easier to get caught.  Our parents and grandparents may have spoken in hushed tones about seeing lipstick on his collar or the smell of perfume or cologne.  Today, there are cell phone call logs, text messages, emails, account registrations, cookies or the cache on your computer, or getting caught with hardcore porn on your browser.  All of these things can easily lead to divorce.  Tiger Woods (and countless others) have been caught via incriminating text messages.
