Tall dark and handsome

I have formed an opinion some may not agree with.... I believe that the internet is an underlying factor in MORE than 50% of todays divorces... Its such a predator errr well I believe it harbors SO MANY predators... What I mean by underlying is that it could start there or end there... someone becomes bored with the other and uses porn or chat or personals to make up for what they may be missing and it spirals out of control... People can be anyone they want to online... A little fun and maybe much needed attention turns into lying, sneeking and possibly acting on something you know your spouse wouldnt approve.

Bored spouses go online find a new friend... one thing leads to another. Porn has become a new hobby.. what the hell happened to woodworking?? I know people have cheated for centuries but has it ever been this easy? YUCK!

I bought my first computer in 1996, it didn't take long for my ex husband to find the "goodies". Before anyone comes down on me... Im not blaming the internet for my divorce... there were OBVIOUSLY already problems. But the computer was such an outlet that there was no interest in working things out the conventional way. I always felt like I was competing for attention... After I found out about the habit... I became forever suspicious, I was preoccupied by trying to catch him or trying to find the answers to unanswered questions.

My girlfriend called me the other night said her husband failed to empty his history and wastebasket on their computer... Not only that but he left his applications up including his 3 different email accounts... She saw and read the end of her marriage. He had personal ads posted, he was corresponding with several women and had been having a physical relationship with at least one person for the last 3 months. After she confronted him... He confessed and said it was just to easy and he abused the freedom (he is a pilot based in PHX, family is in DEN). Shameful. My heart SANK for her, they have a baby and a mortgage and she trusted him.

I really dont know what to say.

i could talk for a long time on this. But long story short, it's not the Internet. And he probably wanted to get caught.

Trust is not enough. Keeping a relationship healthy and strong is a lot more than just giving trust. A lot more.

Heartbreak and the end of relationships are horribly difficult. But people usually to find peace in the end.
