AFTER having an illicit online affair via virtual community Second Life, British man David Cornwall now faces divorce proceedings. As his web of sordid cyber sex unravels, our users have been debating whether a wandering eye on the net is as bad as real world two-timing.
Is it a bit of harmless hi-tech hi-jinks, or should you be worried if a lover spends more time on a keyboard and mouse than between the sheets?
I lost trust in my partner ... Who can say if we will ever get it back? Fallen-Angel Add a comment
bunny_cuddles fights Mrs Cornwall's corner: "While he hasn't done anything PHYSICALLY, he's been cheating on her mentally.
"For women, emotional infidelity is worse than sexual straying."
stuie14 thinks there are no two ways about it: "It's a person they are chatting up so they must want to sleep with them."
Fallen-Angel has first-hand knowledge of this: "My partner pretended to be a lesbian in Second Life and was having cybersex with various other 'lesbians' while I slept in the same room.
"I lost trust in my partner and even now 18 months later it is still missing. Who can say if we will ever get it back?"
