How chatrooms and cyber affairs can harm your marriage marriage

Cyber affair wrecked my marriage

Is it really worth it?

I have been in complete turmoil because I was so devastated. I have cried for England, have been through the 'fog' and have now at least come out the other side.



Although we had been living together just over eleven years, my husband has gone and found a new woman on the Internet. Our marriage is over and she is going to move over 800 miles to be with him, and they haven't even met!

06-5-2008Just because someone has an affair, this does not make them a bad person. You have given your side and we'll never get to learn of the other. For all we know, you may be the most irritable person on the planet and your husband has had enough. This may not be the case in this instance but ca...moreMaz

10-4-2008I hate the way people blame the net for this. Get real and look at the state your marriage/ relationship was in before this occured. Very often one partner shuts their eyes to the truth and refuses to see the cracks in the relationship. When the other partner discovers the net they find people who a...moreJaz McKenzie

26-3-2008No, I didnt do any of those. I went on to the news paper forum, to see what was so facinating for him to stay up until 3 & 4am. You do not have to log on as anyone to read the posts. I knew his user name because he stupidly told me it. Then I saw what he was writing to this & other ladies. ...moretrodden on wife
25-3-2008The sad fact is that cyber affairs are nothing new, the only new thing is the word cyber in front of affair. People have been having affairs cyber or otherwise since the dawn of mankind and will continue until the end. Sadly, it's human nature. Even before computers and the Internet sly notes...moreMutty

22-3-2008A very sad tale.. and i'm sure we all feel for you. This sort of thing is rife. As a man I can say so many men use the internet to chat up women. I don't know a man who doesn't. That said - the majority don'y actually go through with meeting up. I suspect your partner will regret it ...moreold grouch
