CYBER ROMANCE?

CYBER ROMANCE?

Internet affairs have replaced the office romance as a main cause of marriage break-ups.

Throughout World, a growing number of cyber cheats

are abandoning their spouses to pursue

 romances forged online.

Marriage counsellors say, they are seeing
more relationships shattered by secret cyber love trysts than ever,
while lawyers report a rise in internet-related divorces.

Half of the people who find romance
on the internet are already in a relationship at the time,
with some making multiple connections.

a lawyer with more than 30 years' experience,
says he has seen dozens of marriage
break-ups caused by internet affairs.

"All too often, it's more of a common cause
than office relationships used to be.
It's becoming more and more popular,"

 "I had a situation the other day where my friend,
allegedly while his marriage was breaking down,
decided to advertise himself online as being single with no children,
and somehow his wife sprung him.

"But that's only part of the problem from a matrimonial perspective.
We've had situations where one party has found true love on the internetand wants to go and live overseas or interstate
taking with them the children, and that's a further complication."

Love Online website,
interviewed more than 1000 people about their online habits and found that half of those who had found romance online
were in a relationship at the time.

Family law specialist who runs her own practice,
says internet affairs can break up an already
unhappy marriage but they also have a darker side.

"It can be anything from somebody putting
a big toe in the water outside the marriage
to see if the grass is in fact greener on the other side,
to quite explicit nasty sexual practices with
cameras on computers while their beloved
is tucked up in bed in the room next door,"

she says.
"But often when they meet someone on the internet,
the marriage is already dead anyway."

We have seen many marriages end
because of internet romances.
"Over the past five years,
it's been an increasing presentation for us,"
she says. "Many of these people are in very happy
relationships but they meet someone online,
they think it's just a chat room,
just a friendship, and it gradually develops
into something that becomes an affair and a betrayal."

"The ones that are most difficult and
that have caused the most problems
are when they're in a relationship with
somebody in America or in same town, and then
next down the line is interstate or neighbors problems."
