| Nov 28, 2013 at 8:24 | comment | added | tylerl | @Adnan Almost everything can be fixed with an honest and calm conversation ... yeah... and sometimes a different spouse. A healthy relationship takes two people to maintain, no matter how reasonable one of them may be. | |
| Nov 28, 2013 at 8:14 | comment | added | Thomas | Why would you trust a keylogger to only send its stuff to the given email address and happily uninstall itself without leaving behind something even worse? The argument would have been valid if she had written the keylogger from scratch (sort of) and she obviously didn't. Nuke from orbit then have a talk. | |
