Woman Divorces Husband After Catching Him Cheating in 'Second Life'
Taylor and her husband, David Pollard, are divorcing after three years of geekily wedded bliss after Pollard, described as a "jobless 40-year-old," was caught doing the online nasty with other Second Life women. The couple originally met in a chat room and moved in together after exchanging photos, emails, and calls. The 28-year-old Taylor actually caught Pollard having virtual sex only a few months after they started dating but they reconciled and got married, both in reality and in Second Life.
The couple spent hours together in the virtual world as "Laura Skye" and "Dave Barmy," but Taylor still suspected her husband was up to no good online so she hired a Second Life private detective to find out what was up. Eventually, Pollard admitted to chatting up an American woman for a few weeks and said the relationship was over. Taylor filed for divorce the next day, and found her case was the second Second Life-related split that week.
The divorce will be finalized next week and the former couple have already moved on to other people -- Pollard is engaged to the American woman, who he's never met in person, and Taylor is dating a man she met playing 'World Of Warcraft.' No joke. [Source: Sky News and The Telegraph]

THEY REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NancyNov 14th 2008 9:03PM
Both are extremely immature people who have no clue what real life and commitment is. All they want is their fantasies fulfilled, then they move on to another. They need to face the real world; only then will they start to grow up!

That Jessica Simpson link is on almost every forum I've seen no matter what the topic.Surely there must be some way to block it!
MichaelNov 15th 2008 7:51PM
Sorry Ron Brad just happens to be a loser that is virtually everywhere posting for nude pics. He has as big a loser life as the two in this article!
MirandaNov 14th 2008 10:15PM
I play that game but I have a life. Its fun to play but come on! Those two have no life. I do get tired of Second Life getting known as being a place for prevs and sex maniacs! I own a clothes store in there I dont go around sleeping with guys and all that crap.
Jo AnnNov 15th 2008 1:16AM
Is this for real? I've never even heard of this before reading this on here, and I have to admit, I do have a little time on my hands, but come on! Step into the real world and go meet someone the old fashioned way, like outside your house..Incredible. This seems so pathetic for two young people to be going through.
mikeNov 14th 2008 11:53PM
people are taking this online life to the extreme, getting divorced over it? me thinks that the marriage was over already, what kind of person male or female needs a online sex life to actually be happy gees its getting tough in the real world
StevenNov 15th 2008 4:32AM
This had me laughing so hard. R O F L
LisaNov 15th 2008 5:58AM
~laughing~ Oh goodness. I went in there (second life) long ago...I never made it past the first little park. Maybe that's a good thing. : )
LisaNov 15th 2008 6:04AM
Also, the way i found out about it was...the site was in the NY newspaper. A man was being sued because his avitar broke into a virtual apartment and stole things and they saw them in his virtual apartment. They callled the police!!!!!! LMFAO! Apparently, this is serious crap. Because the IRS got into the mix because of all of the many millions of dollars being exchanged on the site by shopping and building in the vitual world (real $). I couldn't even afford an apartment in there....haha. Maybe the American woman couldn't either so she had sex with his avitar so she could shack up with him. LOL

Okkaaayyy so - California says loving gay couples who live in the real world don't have the right to be married, but these two losers can? What a crock!
AngiebabyNov 15th 2008 5:06PM
Why didn't she just load him up with virtual life insurance and throw a toaster in his virtual bathtub? Ahh haa ha. Actually, this is a sad reflection on two ridiculous people. Apparently the woman caught the guy pretending to have sex with someone on the computer, but they worked it out and got married. Then she caught him pretending to cuddle with virtual woman, but this isn't what ended the marriage. He had fallen in love with another woman who was pretending .... Oh, damn. Never mind.
connieFeb 12th 2009 7:36AM
I couldnt have said it better myself.That was funny. Sometimes i gotaa wonder if some of this crap is evevn true LOL
samNov 17th 2008 9:30AM
In a day where the computer reality is all too real for some people and people to people contact becomes less each day it is understandable how this woman felt threatened by her husband's virtual affair. Actual physical contact is not necessary to constitute an affair, withholding companionship and affection to direct it to another, whether flesh and blood or virtual is neglectingn the relationship.

I was joking with my friend about how some geeks never leave their houses, but this crosses a line.
