I just wanted to say that I never thought of it as cheating I got on line for my 1st time 4 & 1/2 years ago because my best friends mother had gotten on line & told us how great it was she was 48 married for the 3rd time & bored so my best friend got on line & for 9 months we spent time driving from place to place after getting her husband to babysit her kids to meet guys she had spoken to on her mums pc I was finally able to admit to her it agravated me to know she was cheating on a nice guy even though she didnt have sex with them . but then she broke up with him & started meeting guys form further away like rockhampton & sydney as such .1 day she decided that the net was just a pain in the butt & we ended up tlaking about old boyfriends so I took her to see 1 guy we had both dated well he told us he was on line & I started chatting to him regularly we left our respective spouses & are now married . but I never saw it as cheating why you ask after all we were both married to other people & yes people got hurt over it but we had dated back in high school & I had taken his virginity so to me it was destiny .
but on the subject of my friend she fell pregnant with 1 of these guys babies then took her husband back & they have been raising the baby ever since .....my point I guess is its cheating if your heart says its cheating my ex husband met up with some chick usin the nick barbie_girl while we were together & then when I finally left him for my current husband he admitted it to me even though he had denied it in the past & said she was a psycho so while some may have success in internet affairs others just live to regret it & I think its how you percieve it to if it's cheating or not follow your heart & your gut instincts if your partner is the 1 you truly want to spend the rest of your life with even internet flirting wont break you apart ....

dunno if this made sense but I tried giving a view from someone who has lived the lie & still has a great friendship with her ex husband because of truthfulness on my part ....jadeL :heart:
