What I find interesting
in the Petraeus affair
isn’t that a high ranking General
got caught with his pants down.
It isn’t even that he shared secrets
with his lover.
What I find interesting
is that no one is concerned about
the information the betrayed wife likely has.
If the General shared secrets with his lover,
he likely shared secrets
with his now angry wife,
a wife likely now considering divorce,
a wife with no remaining loyalties
to the man she married.
But no one cares
because she’s his wife,
magically trustworthy.
In today’s society,
pillow talk between spouses
is acceptable.
If you’re going to spill workplace secrets,
spill these secrets to your spouse.
