Often they begin innocently -- two people chatting about a common interest. A friendship forms, then expands and grows into a cyber-romance. In other cases, the anonymity of online lures an otherwise faithful spouse into "playing around." |

| Couples | It is
commonly believed that a person who has an online "affair" would have strayed
from the marriage anyway if they had the opportunity. The big difference is that
online presents so many opportunities. And they can justify (in their own minds
anyway) that it's a "safe" affair. After all, it isn't really
"real." It doesn't count, right?
Wrong.

Singles
have discovered that online is a terrific place to meet. It allows you
to become acquainted without the distractions of the physical. You
have the time to sort and screen for the requirements that you have for a
partner. You have the opportunity to break free of patterns that haven't
worked for you before. But the emotions that develop in an online
relationship are often more intense than in real life. Sometimes the
fantasy of what it would be like to be with your cyber-love often exceeds
any real life expectations. You dream of the day you finally
will meet in person. |
|
|
That's often where the trouble begins. Offline reality sometimes
doesn't match the online image. You have developed a sense of knowing each other
without the distraction of physical appearance, and when you do meet you are disappointed
to find no "chemistry." And the resulting emotional letdown can be
devastating. |

The lure of online and the internet is strong. It can
be a wonderful place for social interaction, for pursuing hobbies and learning new things,
for exploring the world. Sometimes, though, the lure is too strong and the interest
becomes an obsession. Real life responsibilities and interests are abandoned, sleep
is foregone, family members are ignored.
