Online cheating?

I have a friend who flirts online with men all the time. I thought it was just for fun but recently she has been talking to the same man for about a year. I feel like this is crossing the line. I have expressed the way I feel but she says its just for fun. I would be livid if I found out my husband had a online relationship behind my back. What do you guys think? If you never meet face to face is it still okay?

Hi Stacienicole , I agree with you . I would be very upset if my husband was doing this. What does her husband think about it ? or has she been hiding it from him. If you have to hide something from someone , its wrong! If you are doing something that makes the other person uncomfortable , it's wrong! If she has been chatting with the same guy for a year , it sounds like more then just fun to me . I think this friend of yours could be playing with fire and she could very well get burnt . That's just my two cents anyway ... meeting face to face or not wouldn't matter to me .

One night he got up and she tried to turn off computer sand he seen where she was chatting with the guy and he smashed her monitor. She told him it was just a friend through POGO the game room she plays in and she would not talk to him again. Well she now uses her cell to contact him when her husbands at home. I think she is crazy. She says it makes her feel good to have someone that talks sweet to her and likes to talk to her. Mind you her hubby works 12 hour shifts and she is s stay at home mom.

Personally my thoughts are Cheating is Cheating. No matter where you are at, when you take definate time to keep on talking with someone in an intimate way like you would talk with your significant other, then you are only asking for problems. Sure you have not met, but you are often creating Big problems when someone is leading someone else on as well.

I think that your friend is being selfish. She should treat her husband like she would want to be treated. If she would be crushed if he had a similar relationship online, why does she think it is ok for her to do so. I think that in some ways, maybe she sees this other man as a friend. Maybe she does not expect anything else to come of it, but it is still not right for her to flirt with him. It also gives the wrong impression to the guy who is talking to her. He might think that she wants more of a relationship than she actually does. Overall, I think this is a bad situation and I hope that she can work something out so nobody will get hurt.
