One of the ways of dealing with the of the lockdown is that some of you have been binge watching shows. Although my initial reaction to this was unfavorable, I’m having second thoughts.
One of the positive effects coming from the binge watching is awakening an awareness of how often television shows push programming agendas.
Whatever social agenda is in vogue is pushed in order to shape your opinion. The programming has agendas regarding BLM, vaccines, gender bending, race relations and others. One of those agendas is promoting infidelity by either encouraging it, or downplaying the consequences.
I’m hearing readers waking up to the reality that many shows glorify cheating and make the betrayer out to be someone who’s either looking for love or leaving an abusive situation.
This tendency is far ranging, from hallmark movies to prime time network television shows. In binging, viewers are seeing how blatant the promotion of infidelity is.
At one time, media was expected to promote positive virtues and adhere to community standards of decency. Over time, they quit promoting virtue and wholesomeness. Instead they promote what entertains or what you can’t stop looking at.
Things really changed when the Clinton administration decided to stop enforcing federal obscenity laws in 1996. When no one is enforcing obscenity standards, what’s to stop them from promoting infidelity and recreational sex?
The promotion of infidelity brings with it many deleterious effects. It normalizes affairs, numbs you out to cheating and removes accountability from the cheater. The insidious part is that all this has been working on your mind and emotions a little at a time.
Each episode or movie you tolerate and let into your mind chips away at your morals and soul. The more you consume, the more vulnerable you are.
The danger isn’t limited to the days leading to the affair. When the programming continues during affair recovery, it opens the door to affair relapse.
Your marriage relationship has already been damaged. Weakening it even more is not in your best interest. One thing you can do is to counter the programming by verbally expressing how its sending the wrong message, or that its misleading.
When you counter the programming, you can start neutralizing it.
Another thing you can do is downloading the video on “Overcoming Affair Relapse”. It guides you through the high risk situations that you may not have even considered. There are hidden dangers of affairs re-igniting in places you didn’t think about.

Keeping It Real,
