Broken,

I’m sorry to hear such a sad personal story involving infidelity and polygraphy. Being suspected of infidelity when you are innocent of such allegations is an awful situation.

If it’s any consolation, rest assured that your husband paid for nothing more than the equivalent of a “Tarot card” or “palm” reading. He could have simply saved himself the money and flipped a coin. The coin-toss result would have been just as accurate as the polygraph exam.

In addition, I suggest that you download and read [for free of charge] “TLBTLD” available on this website. You may also want to provide a copy of “TLBTLD” to your husband, to help him better understand the trickery and deceit involved with polygraph testing.   

I wish you the best with respect to your marital situation. I sincerely hope things work out for you. 


Good luck.

Broken,

I’m sorry to hear about your separation from your husband. However, it’s strictly my opinion that there is more to your husband’s insecurity than the failed results of your polygraph exam. It sounds to me as though he is very insecure with himself. Regardless of the outcome of your polygraph exam, he more than likely would have still maintained the same personal convictions with respect to your relationship situation.

What I’m trying to say here, is that even had you passed the polygraph exam, your husband probably would have then blamed the polygraph’s unreliability and vulnerabilities. 

Granted, he may be correct in saying that you can find anything on the Internet to support any claim. I must agree. After all, if so inclined, one could find nearly anything on the Internet to support most any claim…

The overwhelming majority of people have long believed for many years that polygraph testing is irrefutable and undeniably accurate. However, as there are pro-polygraph supporters, there are also anti-polygraph supporters. I personally do not believe in the accuracy of polygraph testing. I [in my own personal opinion] feel that polygraph testing is flawed, unreliable and susceptible to countermeasures. I base my belief in a methodology of testing [polygraphy] that strongly relies on trickery and deceit to mislead the test subject(s) in order to make the test more reliable. “yea right”…

I personally feel that your husband probably has “his own agenda” in which he is obviously not sharing with you, to warrant his desire of separation from you.

Please don’t take anything I have said the wrong way. I sincerely believe there is something else behind your husband’s actions. Perhaps the true motivation prompting your husband to act in such a manner will soon be made clear to you.

In closing, do not beat yourself up too bad over your failed polygraph results. Based on your own version of events, your husband wrote the polygrapher a check prior to the polygraph exam, and then at the conclusion of the polygraph exam, “tipped” the polygrapher another $50.00 cash. At best, this seems highly unethical to me. One could easily interpret your husband’s method of payment, as an attempt to “influence” the polygrapher to support his predisposed personal belief. Although, keep in mind this is strictly my personal opinion… There will be some on this board that will no doubt dispute my position and opinion. Unlike some, I respect other peoples opinion.

Good luck, and I hope things work out for you. Keep the faith.

Respectfully,
Triple x

Washed-up Fed,
Is that the new "official" position of the Federal Government? Now guys suspected of cheating on their wives are to be considered "perverts"?

Fed-up Fed,
You seem to chime in quite often yourself around the board. So what's your excuse?

Now that's a scary thought, Orolan   From what I've heard, our government would then be peopled largely by perverts.
