Have You Googled Your Spouse?

By J. Benjamin Stevens

Do you know your spouse?  Do you really know him/her?  Check out the following article to see what a wife learned about her husband through a simple Google search:

Faye Miller was having some marital problems and went to counseling to avoid a divorce. Her therapist suggested she do some digging on the internet concerning her fears about her husband. He was a podiatrist who she thought "was working a lot of hours and away at medical conferences." It turns out he was away a lot given he had 2 other wives, one in California and one in Canada. Her research turned up that the doctor was married to one woman when he married Faye and then married another woman in Canada after they were married. Well, the battle is on. She has filed for an annulment and also seeks child support for their two children. The husband claims it was just a misunderstanding. You can read more about the case here.
