Expert in Online Affairs Speaks Out
Infidelity expert Ruth Houston does a good job of debunking several myths about online affairs in her article at ezinearticles.com.
The most common misconception is that an online affair -- sometimes referred to as Internet infidelity -- will not lead to real life infidelity.
This is just untrue. More than 30% of online affairs lead to real-life sex with someone else.
And this doesn't take into account the emotional distance that all cyber cheaters display. The long hours in front of a computer, the dishonesty and distancing from one's family and loved ones, can put a strain on any marriage or partnership.
This is why Houston suggests that the best test of such behavior is to ask to see what it is that your spouse or partner is doing online. If he or she is not a cyber cheater, then there should be nothing to worry about.
But what do you do if they say no? Well, there are many avenues to pursue at that point, one of the best being the use of email recording software.
Awareness Tech's WebWatcher does that and more; it combines email recording software with website recording, and chat recording capabilities to give a clear picture of Internet activity.
It may seem like a lot to do to discover the truth, but Houston makes it clear: 1/3 of all divorce litigation begins with an online affair. A threat this serious deserves an aggressive approach.
