Woman sees husband cheat in Second Life, divorce ensues

November 13, 2008 in News comments 28

A British woman has divorced her husband following what is described as "[walking] in on [him] having sex with another woman. On the computer. In a game." The game here is Second Life; apparently it's a homewrecker. It gets funnier (not that divorce is funny really, but it's hard not to laugh with this one), so read on..

"I went mad - I was so hurt. I just couldn't believe what he'd done," Amy said, of finding her feckless hubby having pretend sex in a game with a stranger.

"I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned."

"The solicitor wasn't at all surprised - she said it was her second divorce case involving Second Life that week," she added.

Amy's Second Life alter-ego was called Laura Skye. Pollard's was called Dave Barmy. Amy has now met a new man. In World Of Warcraft.

      This is one of the most awesome news posts EVER.

      Can't believe she thinks finding someone else on WoW of all places will help her >_>

    I knew a guy in FFXI who had recently had triplets and he caught his wife sexing it up online......he was so frickin' hurt he moved out, and then in an odd twist became a Paladin to compete with her new love interest and would follow them everywhere. It was really really creepy and extremely disturbing.

      That's taking cyber stalking to a whole new level.

    Now, wouldn't be an even better twist to find out the cyber women he was having pretend sex with was really a man.

    I loves the internet. People just make up such strange rules. And better still will do things online that they would never do in real life.

    She should've just joined in, what a boring wife.

    Really sad times though. In all honest, he could've just said it was an npc.

        HAHAHAHAHA. Great idea Kevin.

        But then he would have had to explain to her what an npc was, it still would have been an awkward lie. But feasible is orchestrated carefully enough.

      Why? It wouldn't be all that strange to get a divorce because your spouse was having phone sex with someone.

    ^^^

    That was the part of the story that really blew my mind!

    Personally I never understood the whole cybersex thing. It's not much in comparison to the real thing. I think I would laugh my head off if I walked in on my wife or GF giving some Second Life loser a cyber-blowjob or whatever the heck monkey business they were up to. Actually I'd feel more embarrassed for her than angry, I think.

        Yea, the ridiculusly expensive pay accounts. Nothing about second life is worth paying for. And even less is worth actually playing. But whatever.

    Seriously, this is the most shameless thing I ever read involving a video game. Get a real girlfriend and not some fake cyber Second Life girl who's probably a guy.

    This is just one of the many, MANY reasons SL scares me, and makes me shudder at the thought of ever even trying SL out to check it out!
