Computer use has given us so much in terms of information, communication, and completion of our daily tasks whether at work or at home. With the introduction of the Internet, such use has magnified ten-fold as everything became easier and faster. Sadly, the business of infidelity has never been briskier as well.
Now comes cheating in a morphed form - cheating without physical contact. Everything happens just over the Internet, usually with assumed identities and physical appearances. The opportunity to engage in anonymous relationships has never been greater than during this technologically-advanced times. People who do engage in this kind of activity are quick to defend themselves that this is not cheating. Hey man! No contact, no foul, remember?
Internet cheaters can justify their acts all they want but no amount of justification can erase the fact that the essential factor of trust in marriage is violated through cybercheating. Even if a cyber partner is located in another part of the world, a committed person still choose to build a "relationship" having sexual undertones with another.
Some signs that indicate Internet infidelity include spending more time online especially late at night, unfamiliar bills for online services, interest in online virtual worlds associated with finding cybersex partners, and unusual demand for privacy, particularly the preference for locking the doors during computer use. Not a few Internet relationships prospered into actual sexual relationships. Even if it does not, an Internet relationship can make the involved spouse withdraw from his/her spouse and their relationship, and ends up destroying the marriage just the same. Curious people should avoid playing this deadly game lest they find themselves in circumstances which they cannot handle.
