The Boyfriend Cuckold

Gov. Sanford just might have been outed by the other man.
Hell hath no fury like a man cheated upon. It’s not the classic definition of cuckold, but it fits. Providing this report in the New York Times doesn’t end up competing story with another storyline from somewhere else. It comes with a warning: women everywhere beware:
The associate, who asked not to be identified, is a Buenos Aires television executive involved in hiring the woman, whom he identified as María Belén Chapur, a producer at the television network America from 2001 to 2002.
Last December, the executive said, Ms. Chapur was dating a young Argentine a few months after her affair with Mr. Sanford began. The man happened to see the e-mail messages being exchanged between the governor and Ms. Chapur, said the executive — who said he had direct knowledge of the situation — and hacked into her e-mail account to see the rest.
Infuriated, the man sent the messages to The State, the newspaper in South Carolina’s capital, Columbia.
Why do I say beware to women?
Because as forgiving as our gender has historically had to be, because we couldn’t support ourselves in past centuries, so we couldn’t afford burning down the roof over our own heads. The male of our species is not very forgiving. Once a woman cheats on a man, I’ve learned through innumerable interviews, that most men never really forgive fully, always wondering, even feeling so stripped of masculinity that they can’t ever resume what once was in the relationship.
Fallout from a cuckold boyfriend, who is made a fool, is a lesson about privacy. Don’t leave a trail. Not anywhere, but especially in your email inbox.
