I think its virtual cheating but not real adultery. My husband knows I play SL but he’s very cool about it (although to be fair he doesn’t know what I get up to!) but its just escapism.

Meh, I have an online wife, but we don’t take the relationship seriously…

@macrotis:

But you have to realize, alot of internetkind really is stupid.

I think its dependent on who it is. I mean, sure there are people who do it just for the interaction, and it can’t really be taken as cheating because they don’t take it seriously. However, if you really take the internet as serious business and then get a SL Wife, then yes, it should be cheating. However, if you’re really that much of a loser, how is it you have a girlfriend IRL in the first place. Riddle me that, riddler.

I really have to disagree on this one.

People have to realize that MMORPGs ARE NOT REAL.
It’s well known that some people get to the point of obsession, but games like Second Life are not meant to replace life itself.
Taking any MMORPG that seriously is just stupid.

It is only cheating if a)your gf/wife thinks its cheating or b)you’re hiding it from her.

What is the point of online dating or in game dating anyway? I mean, its bad enough to be playing an MMORPG in the first place, but then you let it take the place of a girl? Jesus christ.
