Cyber Affairs: How Real Are They?

"Hello Goldilocks,
Thought of you all of last night. Hope you were thinking of me.
Yesterday was great. Luv ya.
Magic boy."

If this note fell out of your girlfriend's jacket pocket, how would you feel? And what if you found it in her Inbox?

What is infidelity?
Twenty years ago people were sure about what constituted infidelity. A husband seen in a restaurant with his secretary, pink lipstick on his collar, strange silent phone calls, unexplained absences.

With the advent of the world wide web, you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home for dalliances. But does the romantic message in the Inbox wreak the same kind of havoc as lipstick on the collar?

Turns out it does indeed. It is the concept that the spouse feels they are not adequate compared to the virtual affair outside of real life. But should we treat online affairs as part of real life if they have such an effect to minister such actions?If is getting to the point where it is interfering with normal everyday life, then i think it acts inside Real life.

What do people think?
