Is This Man Cheating on his Wife?

Yes, I think the man is too involved so it can be considered a form of cheating. The man is emotionally involved so this makes it a cheating. I hope that people should understand that virtual world should not be misused. Internet is really being misused nowadays and people do all sort of things and feel that they can escape. But, ultimately they have to face reality and has to deal with it. So don't lose your sense and spend quality time with your real life partner and friends rather than wasting time on virtual relationships. Take care.

hello,foxyfire. As the computers become more and more popular, many people have a 'second life'. It is virtual in the internet, you can talk to whom you don't know and maybe will not know for ever. So you can express what you think freely with not worrying about blowing the gaff. On the other hand, after all you don't understand each other well, how can he or she be better than you real-life friends? In my opinion, it is can be used to relax and abreact as a useful way, but it is really important to distinguish it from the real life. It is not deserved to let aside or hurt your family because of this!

I would have to say yes...even though they have never met, he is spending more time with his virtual girl friend then he is with his own wife. While he is not cheating in the physical sense of the word, he is cheating in the virtual sense. Cheating is still cheating whether you really do or if it is just in your mind. It is obvious from the article that the same emotional bonds are there just as they would be if this was a real life relationship.
