Is Having an Online Wife Adultery?

the fact that a person plays a game that involves marriage isnt the problem. even the amount of time online is scarey but not the overriding issue. its replacing a real existing relationship with an imaginary one thats wrong. if you would rather be online than with your spouse let them go...then lose yourself in a game. that way you only effect your own life.

People, get off your butt and doing something more constructive. Take a walk in the park, go bowling, attend a sporting event, anything! No wonder we're the most overweight nation; everyone's at home playing virtual games. RIDICULOUS!

PS. If you make a concerted effort NOT to spend time with your spouse then why in the world are you married?

i love big penis i love it anal too!

Personally, I think it IS adultery and probably one of the worse kinds because it's so pathetic. Picture yourself as the real wife, knowing you're losing your husband to a video game, an artificial world... that would make me feel low! That a husband feels spending time in a virtual world rather than the real one with a real wife- yikes. It's adultery because he's romancing someone else, whether it be online or not, a fake person or not. If my boyfriend were romancing something 14 hours a day I'd be pretty pissed too.
And I agree with the person who said he could be going to school instead- instead of faking a better life- why not spend those 14 hours a day to make a REAL better life- one he won't have to pay for the internet to see.
I can't imagine playing in a virtual world 14 hours a day and later on not regretting all that time I wasted.

Get off the computer and into life, BigBoy!

I met a man here .He said he expected it to be different at this time in is life in his marriage.Their sex life was not what he expected.He also said that disrespect for him as a man was an often hurt.Me I was living a platonic relationship in my marriage for 7 years and sleeping in seperate rooms. So between us sharing this we became closer in many ways talking on the phone and emailing and instant messing.It lasted for 7 month getting closer and clsoer.We were planning to meet even if it was just for lunch.We promised never to just go away form our online relationship without at least letting the other know and if it meant letting go we also promised to accept it and never cause problems for one another. Well one day, there was no evening chat no good night and no good morning email and the never missed morning phone call from him telling me he was on his way to work and I could call.He always said..I love you Babe and I said I love you my Steve (not is real name)it just ended.I was left wondering if he had died or was found out by is wife and he had more to lose then he said.I waited for the evening chats and goodmorning emails and the phone call for more then a month hoping.I kept my promise never to call him unless he called first.My advise to all of you men and woman out there that,online love and romance and promises are real emotions and feelings and can leave one or both people very hurt and sometimes even embarrased because so much information and intimacy was shared.I will always feel the love it was real for me.I will always hurt and that pain is real.I guess I also learned a lesson. Even though he just went away without telling me why like I was just a game and a fantasy. I've learnd today that is called being Played..I wish him well

online games ae the cause of some break ups ..but i believe that if the man or woman could so involved with soemone of the opposite sex online ..then it was only a matter of time before they did so in real life anyway. Some people can distinguish between real life and a game ..soem can't they let there feelings get to involved. being friends online is ok ..when u start talking about love and stuff like that ..or you start having problems in ur relationship, its time to put an end to the game. and if you dont agree you are a fool who is to wrapped up in some online version of love, instead of taking the love and reciprocating whats there with you now.

Its not just the fact of you cheating on your spouse it is the fact that you are spending so much time away from them to be on this stupid "game" if you REALLY loved your spouse in the first place you would not be spending all your time on the comp. you would spend it with him/her!!!!

I don't think it's "cheating" until it carries over into real life. And by the way, adultery actually means race-mixing, which is a huge sin. Just look up the word adulterate in any dictionary.

I just came out of a relationship that i felt was grounded and solid-not knowing that 'my guy' was indeed talking and leading someone on the internet- what started as innocent grew into sharing phone conversations,emails,birthdays,holidays and all. when i found out-i felt cheated on and lied to. i feel like, if a person is in a committed relationship and they 'feel' this person is THE ONE for them--they shouldn't HAVE to revert to a computer 'person' or to anything that takes time from the ongoing relationship. if we in fact, have to lie about doing these things--then its living an untruth. how miserable that is for all persons involved--and painful for friends and family members who are involved with the two people as a couple. its very sad what we consider as acceptable in our lives these days. i think we are worthy as humans to have a happy healthy loving honest relationship=and without those things,i will stay single forever. lol.

There is physical adultery and there is emotional adultery. Spending time and commitment with another person, virtual or flesh & bone, is emotional adultery. It is as hurtful and more difficult to fight than physical adultery.

Jesus said that if only you see another person with lust you are commiting adultery in your heart! Not only intercourse! How many adulterers are there??? Millions!

I for one believe it is cheating when the person interacting with another makes it real. When the player decides to hide things, takes the next step to the phone, and starts with the sexual talk and masterbation in front of a computer! When the player pines away during the hours they can't be online, becomes abusive verbally or emotionally, feels no guilt over lies, and stops any real relationship with the spouse. That can be male or female. I have been there and ended a very long term marriage with someone I loved deeply because he lost himself in a computer. Problem was the person he thought he loved so madly was all in his head,,, she stayed with her husband, she was only playing a game,,, he got played and lost a life that was so wonderful before the computer. People have to remember that when a person describes themselves on a computer it's the type of person they see themselves as, not the person the real world see's. My spouse became a very dangerous and abusive man, the computer became his real world, and the real world held no meaning for him. Never in a million years would people that had known my spouse believe he would ever put his hands on me and hurt me but that is what it came down to and he admitted it in court. Now he is a lonely old man sitting alone in front of his computer with the loss of a home and life that he worked so hard to attain. That is satisfaction enough for me.

Kitty s. When your home with your spouse you should spend time with him or her and spending 14 hours online with a pretend spouse is wrong on so many levels. Fact is if your doing this, theres a problem in your marriage and what maybe just a game can turn into reality. Avoid being a statistic salvage your marriage and turn your computer off!

*secual intercoarse*

Firstly, allow me to clarify, it's "sexual intercourse".
Secondly, and most importantly, there's more to marriage then sex. You most certainly CAN cheat on your spouse without laying a finger (or any other body part) on another person.
Marriage is a Union between 2 people (not husband & wife & virtual wife-husband) who vow/promise to Love, Honor, and Cherish FORSAKING ALL OTHERS.
When you enter into a relationship, online or in real life, with someone other than your spouse that is being unfaithful. You are no longer Honoring, or Cherishing your spouse, and you certainly haven't forsaken others if you're "involved" with someone you're not married to.

I believe that it is indeed adultery... There are two kinds of affairs, emotional and physical. This is a clear case of an emotional affair. I belive that Ric should devote those 14 hours that he is putting into his "online life" into his real life. Get his marriage back on track and if he is unhappy with his job, look for another one. An emtional affair hurts a marriage/relationship just as much as a physical one.

I'm guessing they're playing Sims on Line!

P.S In addition, yes when a married person is cheating here or out there in the outside world it is adultry.
