Your husband is cheating. You’re not sure what to do. Before wrestling with that decision, let’s focus first on what you SHOULDN’T do. Most women react blindly when they find out their husbands are having an affair. They let fear, anger, hurt, or a desire for revenge compel them to do things they later regret -- things which make it difficult or impossible to implement any worthwhile infidelity advice they may later receive.
This article will keep you from making a mistake that could sabotage the course of action you eventually decide to take. Regardless of whether you decide to leave your husband or stay with him and try to work things out, doing the wrong thing at the outset can make a bad situation worse. Let’s look at 5 key things you SHOULDN’T do and examine the reasons why.
1. Don’t put him out or leave him - yet.
Instead of your first move, putting your husband out or leaving him should be your last resort. You may eventually decide to do this, but for now, it’s the worst thing you can do. Right now you need to keep a close eye on what’s going on. It’ll be easier to do that if the two of you are still living under the same roof. If you put him out or leave, you’ll be hard-pressed to know what he’s doing, short of hiring an investigator. As long as you’re still together, you can keep your finger on the pulse of his affair and gather some much-needed facts. There’s a lot you need to know about the situation before you can make an intelligent decision about what to do. Continue monitoring your husband’s activities, attitude, the frequency of his contact with his lover and any other details concerning his affair. Write everything down in a journal for future use. Also bear in mind that as long as he’s still there, you have a chance to work things out.
2. Don’t tell the whole world about his infidelity.
It’s natural to want to confide in somebody about your husband’s affair, or rally friends and family to your side. But be very cautious about who you tell. The female friend you confide in could turn out to be the “other woman." Make sure you’re confiding in someone you know you can trust. Confiding in a male friend about your husband’s affair could complicate the situation. There are men out there who take advantage of women when they’re in a vulnerable state. Telling your husband’s friends or family may not produce the results you want. They might not take you seriously, or they may lie, make excuses for him, take his side, or warn him to cover his tracks. Confiding in your own family and friends can eventually come back to haunt you. Elephants aren’t the only ones who never forget. Some people have a tendency to remember unpleasant events long after they’ve been resolved. If you and your husband decide to reconcile, they could make things difficult by harboring anger and hostility toward him for what he did to you. Or they may show resentment toward you for taking him back. Exercise caution in who you tell about your husband’s affair.
3. Don’t ignore his affair or pretend it’s not happening. Going into denial will only make matters worse. As traumatic as it is to find out that your husband has been cheating, you need to face the reality of the situation. Ignoring his infidelity gives him the go-ahead to continue his affair. Pretending it’s not happening will make him think he’s getting away with his cheating, or give him the impression that he has your silent approval. At some point you should inform your husband that you know about his affair and make it clear that you want it to stop. The sooner you confront him about his cheating, the better. The longer you wait to bring it up and express your disapproval, the more attached he will become to the other woman. And the harder it will be to get your marriage back on track. Remember too, that affairs thrive in secrecy. Sometimes, just telling your husband you know about it, will be enough to put a stop to his affair.
4. Don’t confront him without the 3 P’s – Proof, a Plan, and a Purpose. Most experts agree that you should confront your husband about his cheating. But you need to have a plan. Choose the time and place carefully so you can discuss the affair at length without interruption. DO NOT ask your husband if he’s cheating. CHEATERS ALWAYS LIE. Present the evidence you’ve gathered that proves he’s having an affair - names, dates, places, times, absences, phone calls, physical evidence, etc. Then ask him some pointed questions about his affair: why he did it, how it started, how long it’s been going on, how he feels about the other woman, what he intends to do now that you know. Listen carefully to his answers so you can accurately assess the situation. Then you’ll be able to make a wise decision about what course of action to take. DO NOT CONFRONT YOUR HUSBAND WITHOUT PROOF OF HIS INFIDELITY. To do so will be a colossal waste of time. Unless you can prove he’s been cheating, the information-gathering phase will never get off the ground. If you need proof, there’s a way for you to get it without hiring a detective or buying software or surveillance equipment. “Is He Cheating on You? - 829 Telltale Signs" will help you find all the proof you need using only your eyes and ears, your personal knowledge of your husband, and the information in this book.
5. Don’t waste your time and energy on the other woman. One of the worst things you can do is become obsessed with the other woman. It’s natural for you to be curious about her, but she’s not worth your time and energy. Repeatedly questioning your husband about her, referring to her or dragging her name into the conversation puts the spotlight on her instead of on the real issues where it belongs. Don’t obsess over the details of what happened between the two them. Concentrate on working things out between the two of you. Do not humiliate or frustrate yourself by calling or confronting the other woman and demanding that she leave your husband alone. She’s not obligated to take orders from you. Harassing her or threatening her will put you on the wrong side of the law. Name-calling, criticizing or belittling the her will only make your husband come to her defense. You’ll be driving them closer together instead of forcing them apart Forget about the other woman and focus your energy and efforts on getting your marriage back on track. Will you end up sabotaging your marriage or saving it? The final outcome depends on the way you handle things when you first discover your husband’s affair. In the initial stages, you may be unsure exactly what you’re going to do. But at least you know what NOT to do. Whether you stay with your husband or leave him, avoiding these mistakes, leaves the way clear for whatever decision you eventually make.
LITTLE SURI CRUISE TOPS "MOST INFLUENTIAL CELEBRITY CHILDREN" LIST
Suri Cruise, the cherubic daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has topped the list of the twenty most influential celebrity children. Second place in the list is David and Victoria Beckham’s cute toddler Harper Beckham.
The two celebrity babies were chosen by a Daily Beast poll which measured likeability and media coverage equally. Also among the top four in the list was five year old Shiloh, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt; and Max Anthony, the three-year-old son of Jennifer Lopez.
Mason Disick hit the fifth spot in the list, which surely must have made his mother Kourtney Kardashian mighty proud as her hectic endeavor seems to have paid off. Rounding off the top ten in the list was another celebrity - Britney Spears’ son, five year old Jayden Federline.
One of the highlights of this year’s Daily Beast poll is that in many cases it has been found that one sibling is rated much higher as compared to the other one. Moreover, even age does not seem to have played a major role.
For instance, in the case of Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony’s children, son Max has been rated at fourth spot, while his twin sister Emme Anthony is way down at seventeenth spot. Daily Mail reports that while Shiloh is found at third spot, his sisters Vivienne and Zahara are at 8th and 11th spot respectively.
Two kids who are rarely clicked by the paparazzi nor much in news are the children of Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Chris Martin. So it’s no surprise their son Moses Martin is positioned at twentieth spot, while elder sister, Apple just didn’t make it to the list.
Other kids who managed to be in the listing instead of their siblings were Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ daughter Lola Sheen. Harper and Cruz Beckham hit the 2nd and 7th spots respectively, sadly their brothers Brooklyn and Romeo were missing from the list.

NIGERIA PROPHET WHO CLAIMS TO EXORCISE EVIL SPIRITS WITH HIS PENIS. ARRESTED
A self-styled Nigerian prophet, Efe Ese, who claims he specialises in exorcising evil spirits with his penis, has found himself in the grips of the police after stealing from one of his victims.
Efe, by his trade, hypnotised women he prophesied to and lured them into believing that they were tormented by evil spirits. He told them he had to have sex with them so he could exorcise all the demons which, he claimed, were responsible for all their misfortunes.
The lid was however blown off his activities when he bolted with a digital camera and a laptop computer during a prayer session with one of his victims after a hot bout of sex. The Divisional Crime Officer of Tesano, ASP Stephen Donyina Kyeremeh, said on Wednesday December 7, 2011, at about 5pm, the suspect met one of his victims at Alajo where she was about boarding a bus.
He confronted her with some prophesies of happenings in her life which she admitted were true. The sexy prophet then continued that the lady needed prayers urgently so they had to return to her abode.
The lady aborted her errand and took the strange man to her house at Alajo.
In the cause of the prayer, the self-styled prophet managed to convince his victim to have sex with him in order to exorcise some evil spirits which were presumably tormenting her life.
After satisfying his libido, this dialogue took place:
Prophet: Which of your possessions is very dear to your heart?
Lady: My digital camera and my laptop computer. They are gifts from a relation abroad.
Prophet: The items were possessed by some evil spirits before they were sent to you.
The camera and the laptop ought to be cleansed because according to the prophet, they were the remote causes of her problem, telling her to bring them.
His victim, like a lamb being taken to the slaughter slab, obediently brought the items and another prayer session began.
While the victim was busily praying, the suspect bolted with the computer and the laptop. In the middle of the prayer, the woman opened her eyes and to her shock, she was alone. After several hours of waiting, she gave up until a week later, Wednesday, December 14, when Ese called the woman on her phone.
The sexy prophet, who did not know that his plan had been uncovered, told his victim that he had seriously been working on exorcising the evil spirits from the two items but the spirits were so recalcitrant so he would need another bout of sex to speed up the process. The victim, who had then become aware of the suspect’s intentions, informed the police who ambushed him.
At the appointed time, when Efe showed up, he was arrested and whisked to the Tesano Divisional Police Station where he admitted to the offence and handed over the camera and the laptop to the police. A search through the camera showed nude photographs of several women suspected to be his victims. ASP Kyeremeh said while the police was yet to charge him, a female caller who was later invited to the police station came to corroborate a similar event between her and the suspect.
The second victim told the police she had come to remit the suspect, adding that usually after their sex escapades and prayers, she remitted the sexy pastor for his effort in exorcising the so-called evil spirits which she was made to believe tormented her.

THE ACTOR MICHEAL FASSBENDER, A RISING EUROPEAN STAR IN HOLLYWOOD
AFP - sex addict in "Shame" or incarnation of the psychoanalyst Carl Jung in "A Dangerous Method," Germano-Irish actor Michael Fassbender in 2011 became a rising star in Hollywood, which could offer him this winter a few golden statuettes.
The career of this actor of 34 years suddenly accelerated this year, with no fewer than five movies in theaters, and a Golden Globe nomination for his role tortured sex addict in "Shame" Steve McQueen - a film that had brought him Best Actor at Venice.
Previously, Michael Fassbender was particularly illustrated in "Hunger", the previous film of Steve McQueen on the last day of "Bobby Sands Irish independence, and" Inglourious Basterds "by Quentin Tarantino.
The year 2011 also saw the lend itself to big-budget Hollywood movie with a role in the latest installment in the series "X-Men".
Wednesday, he was again on display in France with "A Dangerous Method", David Cronenberg's latest film, in which he plays the Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung alongside Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassel.
"For a long time I did not have a job. Now, I take this opportunity while it lasts," the actor said recently about his honeymoon with the American cinema.
Born April 2, 1977 in Heidelberg (southwest Germany) of a German father and a mother in Northern Ireland, Michael moved with his family in Ireland at the age of 2 years.
After abandoning his studies at the London Drama Center, he made his debut on television in 24 years, especially in the series on World War II "Band of Brothers" (2001), produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. He goes to the movies in 2006 in the epic "300", signed by Zack Snyder.
But it is really about in 2008 with "Hunger", for which he lost 14 pounds. His role earned him Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards, and the interest of Quentin Tarantino, who is in "Inglourious Basterds" a British officer, an ally of Brad Pitt and his battalion of Nazi killers.
In 2011, he found Steve McQueen for "Shame", which she could, in addition to his candidacy at the Golden Globes, an Oscar nomination.
And having accompanied David Cronenberg in his exploration of cross-influences and friendship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, the actor has lent the camera to another director-author impeccable pedigree: Steven Soderbergh, for thriller "Haywire" (released in France on February 29).
David will also be in the "Prometheus" by Ridley Scott, currently in post production.
Actor faithful, he will recover in 2012, for the third time director Steve McQueen for "Twelve Years a Slave."
With a career already rich and great versatility, Michael Fassbender recognizes an inspiration, that of the actor Daniel Day-Lewis.
"For me, Daniel Day-Lewis is a giant hand," he says about the British-Irish star, winner of two Oscars for "My Left Foot" (1990) and "There Will Be Blood" ( 2008).
"It is amazing and has always been a model of excellence," said he.

ARE NIGERIA GIRLS TAKING FASHION TO AN OUTRAGEOUS LEVEL?
We were so livid when we saw this outfit, because the fashion scene is already bidding farewell to the low-rise trend. We actually heaved a sigh of relief when a new bill was signed in the National Assembly recently on low rise jeans. But what we don’t understand is the motive behind this style. Why would you deliberately open your booth for every Tom, Dick and Harry to peek through?
This is one of the things you should consider if you are thinking of marrying a club girl.

VANESSA BRYANT RECEIVE AT LEAST $75 MILLION IN DIVORCE FROM KOBE
Vanessa Bryant is positioned to make out like a bandit in her divorce from Kobe Bryant, in large part due to the couple's apparent lack of a prenuptial agreement.
Coupled with 10 years of marriage, her settlement should be upwards of $75 million - half the L.A. Lakers guard's fortune - along with support for their daughters.
Vanessa Bryant's mom told the Los Angeles Times that the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement when they wed - entitling Vanessa to half of their assets.
Estimates put Kobe Bryant's net worth at $150 million. The NBA's highest-paid player, he earned $24.8 million last season, part of an extension worth $83.5 million.
Forbes magazine estimates that with endorsement deals, Kobe last year earned $53 million before taxes and agent fees. So basically, Vanessa is sitting pretty.
The fact the marriage lasted 10 years also gives Vanessa big advantages under California law, as she is allowed to maintain her standard of living after the split.
In the petition filed Friday, Vanessa cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. The couple says the terms have already been settled privately.
The NBA star was caught cheating with multiple women by his wife, according to sources, with good old-fashioned gossip among basketball spouses to blame.
His latest mistress is rumored to be Jessica Burciaga, but that has not been confirmed.
The lesson in all of this? Get a prenup and/or don't cheat on your wife all the time.

JAY-Z & KANYE WEST RESPOND TO SYL JOHNSON's LAWSUIT
The Throne files a response to the soul veteran's copyright lawsuit.
This past October, soul veteran Syl Johnson sued Jay-Z and Kanye West, as well as Universal Music Group and Def Jam, for sampling his song “Different Strokes” without permission for “The Joy.” Last Thursday, the duo combated the lawsuit, denying the allegations though acknowledging that the song was released prior to Watch the Throne.
According to Billboard.biz, Hov and ‘Ye cite federal copyright law, claiming that because the song was made before 1972 (when the law was enacted regarding covers), they were legally able to use it.

MARIAH YEATER STILL PURSUING PATERNITY CLAIM AGAINST JUSTIN BIEBER
The 20-year-old California woman, who filed a paternity lawsuit against Justin Bieber, is still adamant that the teen popstar is the father of her 5-month-old son.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Mariah Yeater denied ex-boyfriend Robbie Powell as being the real father, saying that she does know him but he was not the child’s dad. “He is not the father, and he’s locked up and out of the picture,” Radar Online quoted Yeater as telling the publication.
JustinYeater told the paper that she is still pursuing her paternity claim against Bieber out of court, through her attorneys in Chicago and Los Angeles.“I dropped my lawsuit, but never my claim."
“I still definitely want a DNA test and I want to refile my paternity case -- I do believe he is the father,” Yeater said.
While Bieber claims he took a DNA test last month, Yeater’s Chicago counsel, Jeffery Leving, said that the singer’s camp has been sluggish and non-cooperative in getting on the same page as Yeater’s, concerning the test.
“Bieber’s counsel hasn’t told me where Bieber’s alleged DNA is secured, nor has provided information substantiating the chain of custody and protocol utilized in the claimed DNA collection and testing,” Leving said. “If negotiations with Bieber’s counsel does not result in DNA testing of everyone under mutually agreeable and controlled conditions, then the legal proceedings will likely need to be refilled,” he added.
