Auntie Janey’s Old-Fashioned Agony Column, Crowdsourced edition: Spot the cheater
Auntie Janey is taking this week off to obsess about the romantic lives of Jon Snow (How can I get him to break his oath of celibacy?) and Daenerys (Could she hook up with Jon Snow? But what if he’s not really Ned Stark’s son, but a Targaryen??)
As you know, the second season of Game of Thrones premieres on Sunday, 1 April 2012. The teasers seem to suggest that the Red Wedding of the third book will figure in the second season. Aaaaaaa! Must they hasten our traumas?
While Auntie Janey plays matchmaker to various claimants of the Iron Throne, we call upon you, our helpful readers, to write the agony column this week. Tell us how to spot a philandering partner. What are the clues? Must we really check their text messages and facebook accounts? Better yet, tell us stories of dirty rotten lying cheaters and how they were caught, drawn and quartered.
The Comments box is waiting.

I’m still trying to find out the address so I can stalk. It’s really near where I live and I have seen him twice around the area already (he picked up his Thai takeaway barefoot, cute!).

Reporting from The Wall, Westeros:
It’s really cold here at the wall even though the sun is up. The Wall is weeping and the ice is slippery. I think the stewards need to grind new gravel. I’ve just seen Jon Snow burn a wight by throwing a burning lamp at it. His hand got burnt from touching the very hot lamp. Targaryens do not burn easily. Hmmmmnnnnnnn… He may not have Targaryen blood. This foils my plans for him and Daenerys. I do think they will make a lovely and powerful couple but the breeding program must be observed. Targaryens do not reproduce with lower beasts. For my plans, I need somebody who can ride one of the dragons of the three dragons. I actually need two more. If Daenerys is amenable to polygamy…

Some cheaters have multiple mobile phones so they don’t sending wrong text messages to their multiple girlfriends/boyfriends.
Some cheaters address all their GFs/BFs one term of endearment so as not to slip up.
Or, if your GF/BF/spouses try on new things, and it doesn’t or he/she doesn’t want to involve you in them (like a new sport, hobby, whatever), then something is up. If there is a sudden change of attitude towards you, more on the keeping-secrets-from-you, or hushed-phone-conversations-but-your-birthday-is-not-coming-up, there’s a red flag.
I’m paranoid and it’s not a great thing to have when you’re in a relationship. I think it’s more of a trust thing. I think I should work for those PI detective agencies in India wherein the brides (who pay dowry) have their fiances’ checked to see if they’re being faithful hehe. I would make a fortune lol!

1. Always “busy” or “tired” and gives vague reasons like “work”. Doesn’t make an effort to meet up / go on dates.
2. Doesn’t text as often as he/she did. Is weirdly protective of his/her mobile phone.
3. Can’t account for where he is at certain times of the day.
4. Weakened or excessively heightened sexual appetite.

“A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you, you looked at the ground…”

(It’s a cover version of a Bill Withers song, but it’s much more interesting to hear a woman singing this.)
