Second Life sex causes divorce

[Mr. Hrm]

Do you think that having an in-game, or online, virtual relationship with another person is cheating on a real life partner?

A couple are divorcing after a woman found her was husband cheating – with a virtual character in an online world.

Amy Taylor caught estranged husband David Pollard having sex with an animated woman in Second Life. 'I went mad – I was so hurt.

I just couldn't believe what he'd done,' said Ms Taylor, 28. 'I looked at the screen and saw his character having sex. It's cheating, as far as I'm concerned.'

...

Her character, Laura Skye, hired a virtual private detective to investigate his online adultery.
But Mr Pollard apologized and begged for forgiveness.

But the final bombshell came this April, when she caught her husband with his new online flame, Modesty McDonnell.

'I caught him cuddling a woman on a sofa in the game. It looked really affectionate,' said Ms Taylor, who filed for *divorce the next day.

'He confessed he'd been talking to this woman in America for weeks and said he didn't love me any more.'
Ms Taylor said she was down for a while – but now has a new man, who she met in the online game World Of Warcraft.

My thought here is, unless you've specifically got an open relationship where you say "It's OK to do this, this or this" then you should assume it's not. For example, some people might consider a little light flirting bad to do if you're hitched. Some people are full-out swingers. It all depends where the line is drawn.

Personally, considering that they MET in a virtual world, how can you not consider it cheating.

Though actually taking a moment to read through the article... they's effed up all around.
