I read in the newspaper over the weekend that a couple in England is divorcing over a relationship established in Second Life. A woman caught her husband "cheating" in the online world. No mention of whether the relationship had crossed over to any other real life activities.
I am on the fence with this. Would I like my husband having a make-believe relationship? NO! Do I think it is grounds for divorce? Probably not. I'm guessing there were some other problems in this marriage that led to it's disolve.
I know many people meet online and have successful relationships. Look how pervasive online dating has become. I know two couples that met through an online dating service and are happily married. Then there is the random hooking up through chat rooms or online groups.
How serious are these Second Life relationships and do they spell trouble for established couples?

Wow. Well, I can see how that can happen. It could be compared to online dating. That's a sad situation.
