A Two-Sided Double Online Love Triangle?
This had to happen sooner or later. Try to keep up:
An unhappily married couple separately seek solace in cyberspace and end up falling for each other’s online alter ego. When they meet in the real world and realize who each actually is, they file for divorce.
The couple met on an online chat forum while he was at work and she in an Internet cafe, and started chatting under the names Sweetie and Prince of Joy.
They eventually decided to meet up—but there was no happy ending when they realised what had happened.
Now they are both filing for divorce—with each accusing the other of being unfaithful.
Hey, you crazy kids, can’t you work it out in a chatroom?

This is all over the news this morning. Apparently, their online chats included complaints about their spouses. Clearly there was a communication problem here since neither recognized the complaints as “oddly familiar”!
This sounds like it would be a fantastic Dr. Phil show idea…”online dating, trysts and affairs gone wrong”

This is awesome!
I saw a movie a few years back that had a similar story line. An immigrant couple in San Fransisco which had drifted apart because the husband was too busy with work and the wife was overwhelmed with the drudgeries of domesticity. They met online and became friends and only ‘discovered’ that they were dating each other when they met. Since it was a movie and it focused on a south east asian couple (divorce carries a social stigma), they made up and decided to be like their on-line selves.

Not surprising, anyone see Cyrano de Bergerac? Some people are much better as writers then speakers. If only we could speak our hearts honestly all the time without the fear of being laughed at.
