For some time, cyber cheaters, or those who rely on the Internet to pursue or maintain an affair, have argued that Internet infidelity isn't always 'cheating.' How can it be, they say, if it's only happening online? However, modern divorce statistics are telling another story.
This argument, that an Internet affair isn't really adultery, must only apply to those cyber cheaters whose affair never involves face to face meetings. But, as people become more and more attached to their computers, and spend less and less time at home, it seems that even face to face meetings aren't required for someone to leave their spouse.
Did you know:
Most divorces today involve Internet infidelity of some kind?

At
rctimes.com, Elisabeth Lynch of Counseling Professionals in Nashville says that "I've had clients leave their spouse (for someone else), and they've never met the person before," she said. "They've conversed for six months, a year, and they have a more intimate relationship with the people in the chat rooms than their spouse."
And almost every divorce today involves Internet infidelity of some kind. Whether it's a cheating spouse looking to meet others online, like the highly publicized split between Sara Evans and her husband of 13 years, or simply using emails and chats to maintain an affair that started somewhere else, computer data turns up again and again in divorce court and proceedings. According to one private investigator, it's pretty standard to assume that if you've got a cheating spouse, the evidence will be on their computer.
So yes, if it's a leading factor in the large number of divorce proceedings we see today, it's safe to assume that cyber cheating is indeed cheating.
What should a worried spouse do? Statistically, if you are a woman and you suspect that your spouse is having an affair, there's an 85% chance that you're right. For men, that number is much lower since women aren't as likely to cheat, but the signs are all the same. If your spouse spends all hours online, seems emotionally distant, and is protective or sneaky about their online behavior, you may want to get computer monitoring software for your home computer.
