Have you ever wondered if there was such a thing as an “Affair Trap“? You may have even heard your spouse say “I was set up” or “It was a trap!”
At the time you hear those claims, your initial impression is that they’re an excuse. They certainly sound that way.
Affair traps and set ups happen. Like police stings are used in setting up criminals, affair traps are used in creating adultery.
An example of this is Frank and Katy Gifford’s situation. Although it’s now well know he cheated on her, the part of the story often left out is that his AP set him up. She was paid to set up cameras and lure him into the affair trap.
So, he was lured like a fly into a spider’s web. He had the affair and it was all caught on tape. With the tape, the scammers had leverage to hold him hostage.
One of the ugly twists in this drama is that the AP was a married woman! She was paid to have the affair in a room with hidden cameras.
So the Gifford’s marriage was damaged and lives ruined just so that someone made a few bucks and sold more sensational advertising.
This is one of the dangers of being a celebrity or having money. There are scammers who prey on those populations and use their vulnerabilities against them. When scammers grow desperate, they go after anyone who they view as vulnerable.
They use those situations like blackmail in order to line their own pocketbooks. For them, relationships are merchandise to buy and sell. Affair traps are just another way of making money for them.
The traps don’t make the affairs acceptable. Bad choices were made. Being caught in one puts the cheater in a position where they’re taken advantage of covering up the bad choices for money.
Affair traps use the fear of being found out to squeeze more money from the cheater. They betrayed you and ended up being betrayed by their AP at the same time.
The affair, even in the case of traps needs to be dealt with. The two of you can move past what happened. The affair doesn’t have to mean the end of your marriage.
In the downloadable Affair Recovery Workshop, I guide you through what needs to be done, talked about and changed in order to turn things around.
The two of you can work at your own pace taking as long as you need or as quickly as you need in working though the important issues.
