Woman discovers that her husband is cheating on her thanks to a photo posted to social media
Today we are all connected: the advent and spread of the internet has created a new way of interacting with each other. Instant messaging apps, forums, dating and social sites have made it possible to interact with others in a multitude of different ways - and without necessarily having to leave the house. However, all this technological evolution is a double-edged sword: we are "bombarded" by a myriad of inputs. Everything is just one click away and it is super-easy to meet people.
OK, but what's wrong with this? Check out Yulia's story:
Yulia is a woman who lives in Russia ,and is very active on social media, like many of us. Yulia is married to Nazar, both of whom lead a serene and peaceful life and things were going well between them. Or so Yulia believed: when she did a search on Instagram one day, she noticed something very unusual.
One photo in particular caught her attention, prompting her to click on it to view it better. She had no doubts: Yulia was certain that the photo in question depicted part of the interior of her own apartment! One photo showed a portion of her bedroom. Yulia, however, was quite certain that she had not taken the photo and had not posted it. Even more upsetting for Yulia was finding out who had posted the photo.
Vlada Abramovich was the name of the woman who had uploaded the photo. Yulia immediately began to fear the worst and she didn't hesitate to investigate further: "Nice view from my husband's bedroom window," was the wry comment Yulia posted to the photo.
Unfortunately, Yulia's fears were well-founded: following a long "chat" with Vlada, she found out her husband was cheating on her. Vlada confessed that she had spent the night with Nazar while Yulia was away on a trip and that she had taken the "incriminating" photo on that occasion. Yulia subsequently confronted Nazar, who denied having an affair.
But Yulia is nobody's fool, and she kept digging. She discovered that not only had her husband cheated on her with Vlada, but had been with other women who, once contacted by, confessed to having had an intimate relationship with her husband. Given this, Yulia divorced Nazar. Fortunately, she now has a new partner who treats her with respect she deserves.
In an increasingly interconnected world, the possibilities are endless: we can make friends, find love or even lose it. What do you think? Does social media help us to create positive bonds, or is it a destablizing force in the world?
