Body Language of Cheaters
Posted on 06/09/11
There are cheaters in all of our lives - whether or not we want to recognize or admit that is another story.
Of course, this week the big news is Anothony Weiner and his...um, well his weiner. (Sorry - I just couldn't resist!).
Yes, another week - another political powerhouse brought to its knees. When confronted initially, Weiner (natch) resorts to the old standby of deny, deny, deny.
No, it wasn't him that sent the picture in question - it was a hacker. No, it wasn't him in the pic (though it could have been with the proper photoshop genius). No, he does not know this woman or any others (he's been as faithful as Lassie during his 11 month marriage).
Fast forward to this week - and once again - we have the truth spillng out. On national television. In the newspapers. On the internet.
The fall from grace is swift and ruthless. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
For most of us - the scandals we enounter in our own lives won't be played out in the public arena - but they will have the same damanging effects on our relationships. Hearts will break. Trust will be broken. Ties will be cut.
This is why it is so, so, SO important to pay attention people! Pay attention to the words and actions of those around you to save time and heartache. Just knowing a few key gestures, expressions and facial movements can clue you in to what the other person is saying without saying a word.
Think about it - what if you could pick up on your husband's lip pursing - and know that this is often an indicator of underlying stress or internal struggle?
Does your teen express sadness with a mouth that turns down every time you bring up school?
This morning I tackled this very subject on Good Morning America. Take a peek - let me know your thoughts, and by all means - ask questions!
Healthy and happy relationships are the foundation of our society - without them, we are nothing. Learn to make each and every one of your interactions count - and don't be deceived by those that don't deserve your attention.
