Lixy, you offered a very good response BTW.

As for where I stand, well, I am not sure. This whole online thing can get sticky and strange sometimes. It all depends like Lil said above on the guidelines and boundries that have been set up. Even once those boundries have supposedly been set up, the issue is still a little unnerving.

We all know we have lives outside of this place or outside of the internet.

Again sometimes you even have to go back to the "Is it cheating" thread for some of the answers. I guess if it is truly only an online relationship and there are no (real) thoughts in either parties heads about an actual IRL hook up, then I suppose it should not matter if the other person slept with someone else in their real life.

However, if there is always a discussion about getting together and planning such a meeting, then maybe one would not want to know. But if there is the notion of an actual encounter, then those two should get on with it and get together. We all hide some part of ourselves from others here and if there is never that actual meeting, then it is truly not a serious relationship. Hence the online lover may feel a little uncomfortable about the news but to be actually mad about it or very jealous is not a good thing because the computer separates both people and IRL you are face to face, cheek to cheek, body to body, one on one.

Well that is just my opinion. Actually I don't know if I offered an opinion or if I just babbled on aimlessly but such is the nature with this online/cyber/internet/virtual world we share here.
