From Electric News... My grandson is my son. Taiwanese man jailed for affair with son's wife http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,145616,00.html IN a twisted case of adultery and incest, a grandfather from Taichung was convicted of adultery and fathering his own grandson after an illicit affair with his daughter-in-law, reported Apple Daily Taiwan. The confusing web of relations started spinning five years ago when rice dealer Lai Yan Xiong, then 60, found a Chinese bride, 23-year-old Chen Mei Hua, for his mentally-disabled son. All was well until three years ago, when his wife Mrs Lai Zeng Yu, now 65, caught Lai and Chen in bed. A furious Mrs Lai sued her husband for adultery, but the case was dropped due to lack of evidence. She then entered a settlement with her husband, who gave her NT$40million ($1.8m) in cash and title deeds, to drop the case. Not long after, Chen gave birth to a son. But Mrs Lai felt that the baby did not look like her son at all, and suspected her husband of fathering the child. She took saliva samples from both her son and the baby and did a DNA test. The test results confirmed that her son did not father the baby. Mrs Lai went to court a second time, but her case was declared void as Mrs Lai had already entered a settlement with her husband earlier. FRESH EVIDENCE Lai then sent Chen and the baby back to China. This move, however, was seen as a sign of guilty conscience by the prosecution. They re-opened the case after receiving new testimony from the younger Lai who claimed that he 'saw Ah Pa (father) and wife sleeping together many times'. A second DNA test proved Lai's paternity of his grandchild. And on Thursday, Lai and Chen were sentenced to three months' jail and fined NT$162,000 each.

this is great...

Husband gets £870 life-size tattoo of his wife - then discovers she is having affair

After 15 happy years with his wife, Alan Jenkins decided it was time for the ultimate expression of love.

So, determined to prove his devotion, he had a lifesize image of her face - along with those of their two daughters - tattooed on his back.

The painful procedure took 20 hours and cost £870.

Unfortunately for the besotted Alan, it also backfired on a monumental scale after Lisa, 36, absconded with a 25-year-old Latvian hunk she had met at work.

Speaking last night, the jilted steelworker, said: "It's a real sickener. I thought she was happy.

"I had it because I thought we loved each other - I feel very betrayed."

Lisa met her new love, fitness instructor Kaspars Gavars, at work and now intends to move him into the family home in Port Talbot, South Wales, - once Alan has moved out.

"I didn't plan to fall in love with Kaspars - it just happened," she said.

"And I never wanted Alan to have my face tattooed on his back in the first place."

Alan, who has two girls Daniella, ten and Jade, 15, only grew suspicious after Kaspars started giving Lisa lifts to work.

He could be forgiven for wanting his wife off his back for good, but despite his heartache, he has no plans to have to tattoo removed.

"Lisa may have left me but she'll be on my back forever thanks to the tattoo," he said.

"But I've still got plenty of room on my chest if I get hooked up again."

Marina-based adultery 'how-to' business appears on Montel Friday

An unhappy husband decides to cheat on his wife and, not wanting to get caught, enlists the help of a private consultant to coach him on how to keep it secret.

It’s an unconventional scenario, yet it’s exactly what men (and women) considering having an affair can do with the help of the “Anne Noble” Web site at www.annenoble.com.

Marina resident Deborah Barnhart, who founded and runs the site, will appear on “Montel” today to talk about her company’s services.

She’ll be joined by the founder of The Ashley Madison Agency, a similar venture, and the couple behind the online advice column “Ask Dan and Jennifer.”

The 37-year-old Barnhart said she began brainstorming the idea in 1992. The site’s name was inspired by her maiden name, Deborah Anne Noble.

“That’s back when I was in the Air Force,” she said. “I did 10 years in the military. All my co-workers were men, so I heard a lot of stories from the guys being unhappy in their marriages but still loving their wives.”

Barnhart said she started researching topics such as human psychology, mating instincts and dating.

“I started to see how women and men just don’t mesh when it comes to sex, and how men … if they’re dependent on it, go elsewhere,” she said. “To them, it’s like eating; it’s something that they need and require. When they’re cut off from that, they just suffer in silence.”

Barnhart launched “Anne Noble” in July. Users pay a monthly fee of $499, which allows them unlimited e-mails and two 45-minute phone calls per week with a consultant. The consultant provides advice such as how to have an undetectable affair — or how to end one.

“We offer strategies and game plans to offer what they’re missing at home,” she said. “They don’t want to tear their family apart. These men — 99 percent of them — have already tried marriage counseling and have had bad experiences, or the wife refuses to go.”

Not that men are the only clients of “Anne Noble,” Barnhart said. She said she helped one woman fulfill her fantasy of having a sexual relationship with another woman.

Not surprisingly, running a Web site that helps people commit adultery has garnered plenty of criticism. However, Barnhart said most critics tend to side with the spouse who’s cheated on rather than try to understand the reasons why a husband or wife would stray.

“I don’t think that it’s any more right than a wife willing to withhold sex from her husband because she simply doesn’t want to,” she said. “Is he supposed to hold it in because she doesn’t want to?” (excellent question!)
