        The statement is more direct as to the cheating: Original: "I became unfaithful to my wife." Now: "I have been unfaithful to my wife."

        @chrisgeidner "I became unfaithful" isn't active or passive voice; it's intransitive so it doesn't have a voice

        @fvguima I may be wrong, but I don't think so. A lot of people have the misconception that "became" makes something passive.

        @IvaCheung (I thought "passive" as in "shifting blame", not... confusing an intransitive verb with actual passive voice.)

        @fvguima There's a popular belief that anything that hides agency is passive. I think @sesquiotic can back me up: http://theweek.com/articles/445035/grammar-quiz-know-passive-voice ….

        @IvaCheung and I had somehow not come across @sesquiotic before. so, an inadvertent #ff (#ft?) there.
