Is online flirting, when you know your S.O. disapproves, OK because you "are only flirting online and not in the real world"?
My opinion (surprise, surprise) is that it's not OK, period. It's said to be OK because it's not face-to-face, and online it's just fun and games.
I call bullsh!t. People meet online friends in person all the time. They even meet their future spouses online. The "it's only online" argument is bogus.
I would also imagine that many of those who feel it's OK would be less than eager to have their own S.O.s discover their activity.
Since I wasn't willing to reveal every personal detail, I should not have posted this thread at all. I should've thought far enough ahead to realize that it would turn into what it did.
I apologize for the crude comments on this thread, save this one:
To those of you who think this shit is funny, f_ck you, your families, and anyone else near and dear to you. I'll remember this the next time someone requests prayers because Granny had a heart attack, or your dog was run over by a car. I will laugh at all of your misfortunes.
