Putting your reality on tvIm from Texas we have a tv show called Cheaters up in Dallas(for those who never heard of it its a reality show where private eye follow cheaters on video and later confront cheaters with the "other person" and the third party.)My friend called the show and are going to be one of the people selected for the show. My question is would you go through those extremes to catch a partner cheating? - Asked by A Player, Female, 18-21, Houston, Self-Employed |

No, I would not. If I had a relationship with that little trust, I'd have ended it already.

LOL! I've seen that show. It comes on really late at night and I usually end up watching it with friends when we're all drunk. lol. No, there's is no way my relationship would ever get to that point. If I didn't think I could trust my partner, I would confront him and find out the truth on my own. If it was bad enough to go to that extreme, the relationship probably isn't worth much at all.

Im a Licensed Private Investigator who investigates suspected cheating spouses. I do surveillence and investigation much the same way as the CHEATERS TV show. I gather my information and evidence and turn it over to the client. Usually, that is the end of my involvement in the case unless I'm called upon by the client for a further followup or if it ends up in the legal system I may be called upon by the Divorce Attorney.As far as professional ethics go, I would NEVER do what the CHEATERS TV show does,creating a Dog and Pony show for the viewing pleasure for national television. This isnt in a PI's job description.

As much as I love the thought of stuff like this on TV, I don't think I would ever need to go through that process in order to fix my problems. If I had a crummy boyfriend like that and I suspected he were cheating, I would talk to him about it, or as a last resort, spy on him myself. Bringing a third party into the equation not only publicly embarrasses him, but wouldn't it suck if my accusations were wrong and he wasn't cheating!? Now the whole nation knows about are private life, and I'm pretty sure the dude would be pissed out of his mind at me.

I wouldn't b/c if someone is cheating, it comes out in the open eventually. People can't always live a lie, it'll catch up to them.

No, I think its ridiculous. If you honestly suspect your partner is cheating, then you should just leave. What is the point of trying to catch them? What is that going to achieve? It also suggests a massive lack of trust. If you are that untrusting of your partner (whether for real or imagined reasons), then what are you doing in a relationship with them?

I don't know. We have that show at about 3AM here in Ohio.. don't remember what station, but I've stumbled across it a few times.

I would don't because sometimes that's what it takes to find out the truth. And for the embarrassment and disrespect that the cheater caused the other person, they shoud be exposed on national television. That show just isn't in Dallas.
