Using The Internet For Marital Cheating
Does your spouse or boyfriend or girlfriend spent way too much time on the internet? If they do don't be so quick to dismiss it as just having harmless fun on the computer.
A surprisingly large part of the population that is married or in a relationship is conducting some sort of online affair. Something intimate enough that they would hide it from their partner.
As far as the person conducting the online affair, the cheater, if you catch them they will probably claim that it is nothing and that you are making a big deal out of nothing. They will say that it's just talking over the computer and that everybody does it. As far as the other person in the relationship, the person who catches or suspects the online infidelity, I have no clue how knowledgeable you are about the Internet today but there are actually websites your boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse can go to and meet with their online lover and do everything imaginable next to actual physical contact with web cams. And of course your partner is going to say they never met or never will meet. But how can you really be sure that is true.
How you should react to the Internet affair
For the safety of the marriage or relationship your best attitude about your partner or lovers online affair should be viewed as a possible prelude to something more. It is quite possible your mate is already engaging in phone sex with the person as well when you are not around or perhaps more. If you developed the attitude that is just harmless stuff over the Internet then I hope you have the same attitude if you ever actually catch them together in bed sometime in the near future.
For your own sanity at the very least you should install some sort of computer spy program on the computer. These programs run invisibly and capture everything that happens, every e-mail sent and received, every instant message sent and received, every website visited including usernames and passwords. If it really is as harmless as they say it is then it shouldn't matter to your partner but you shouldn't tell them about installing the computer spy program as obviously that could alter their default activity on the computer.
