What would you react if you find that your love one has an online boyfriend or girlfriend? Will you be very angry or you think it doesn't matter at all?

Since my husband and I met online ourselves, online interactions are something that we take rather seriously in a way. While we both have many online friends, we always talk about our friends with each other, and keep informed on things going on in those relationships. If I were to discover that he were doing something he hadn't told me about, or that something he had told me wasn't quite true, there would be a bit of an issue with it. However, as of yet in the eight years we've been together, I've never had to worry about this. I know a lot about his close online friends, and am very comfortable with them. If he were to become involved with someone online to the point where it could be considered breaking our agreements, then obviously it's something we would have to discuss, but I really doubt it would be instant divorce time or anything.

Hi lecanis, before I saw your comment, I always thought that online relationships are very hard or even impossible to real life relationships, but now I believe it will. Thank you for your response and sharing your story with us!

*nods* I consider myself pretty lucky that my online relationship did transition into an excellent offline one! Over the years talking to people about it, I've met many other people with the same experience though! I think meeting people online is just the same as meeting people anywhere else: you have to be careful, but you can make some really fulfilling connections. =)

There was a time when this would have really bothered me. But, my husband and I have grown so much now and we are both really like best friends with benefits. These sorts of things don't bother me, because I know that his heart is with me. Anything he does while he is online with someone is just entertainment. And vice versa.

I would kill her! Joke! I'll just tell her to stop it immediately because in the long run it's either she would hurt the guy or she would hurt me. Which she would not let if she loves me.

I think it is because you and your boyfriend also knew each other through internet so you felt qualms when your boyfriend talked to others online. Maybe you should try to let yourself trust your boyfriend since you both love each other.
