Well addiction is another topic-- a friend is struggling with her husband's and it's the nasty sort too--

Arseholes are arseholes, tho, surely no one HERE is one of THOSE???

Yes.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone had not already compiled statistics listing the percentages of divorce due to "Internet Addiction."

Naw, I just get them online too!

And I have been assured that one's 3D love can do things one's virtual loves cannot, and encouraged to play and seek things I need to bring back into our 3D world. It helps that I am extremely open with my partner about my online activities (so be advised, all you 'CatPals o' Mine!). So the occasional neglect, perceived or actual, doesn't last very long.

'Course I waited till I was nearly 40 to pick the winner. And I tend that 3D love with care and intention, too.

I was speaking to a girlfriend of mine who mentioned she had developed a close friendship with a man she was corresponding with through email but that their correspondence had to stop because his wife was feeling uncomfortable about the amount of time he was spending on the computer chatting to another woman.

I knew another woman who spent so much time On-line playing backgammon and chatting with her ICQ friends that one day her husband picked up the computer monitor and smashed it onto the floor. Soon afterwards she and her husband seperated. I spoke with her husband some time later about their separation. He felt that much of their marriage problems were due to the fact she spent way too much time with her internet friends and not enough time with him.

Made me wonder if other Mudcatters find they have family members who feel somewhat neglected due to the amount of time they spend on the computer.
