Cyber infidelity

[TonyG]

My local paper picked up a story out of Germany about a 26 year old woman suing a 38 year old man in court for cyber infidelity.

Here's the story: The two met on-line 5 years ago and began a cyber only relationship. They never met once until this court case. Last fall the man announced to the woman that he was stopping their on-line relationship because he had met someone else on-line. The woman in turn is suing him for the equivalent of 100,000 dollars claiming that he has ruined her life and had cyber adultery. She states that he had a contract with her because he continued to have cyber 'sex and love' for 5 years.

Do you think there is such a thing as a complete relationship when it is on-line only? What do you think of this whole case?

 

[jcgirl]

wow, 100,000???

I think it's bullshit. For all this chick knew, he was a chick, or something anyway. If you enter into these kind of relationships where you never even take it to real life, how the hell do you take claim over that other person?

What are you suing for? Because he chooses to no longer type sexually to you? It's not a marriage, shit you can't even sue a real life boy/girlfriend for breaking your heart. Why should you be able to sue a cybersex buddy?

 

[Shylady]

some people are just dumb.

 

[brazenblaze]

Oh my! The things people will do for attention.

 

[Matthew D]

Actually I was thinking the same thing Blaze..

 

[Siren]

Was the woman Patryn? Hahahaha

 

[Nobody Special's wife]

May be she didn't get him hot enough, He might not been able to get it up anymore

 

[bulld]

What I want to know is were there any cyber children?? If yes could she sue him for cyber child support??





Sometimes you got to laugh or you'll cry.

Some people are just fucked in the head! Excuse my language.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Bull, you remember that one time in the Family room? Well... I'm cyberpregnant. The doctor says it's twins. A PIII 450 MHz and a 56k Modem. No, I'm not having a cyberabortion, you said you had a trojan. It must have broke. I want cyberchildsupport.

Hey, Doc says we can have cybersex as long as we're careful about where we stick the firewall.

 

[bulld]

Whoops!!!!

But I had a cyber vasectomy. I'm gonna sue the cyber doctor who did the cyber vasectomy for cyber$1,000,000.00. At least then I'll be able to support a cyber family and we can get that cyber house you wanted!

 

[KillerMuffin]

Wonderful!!! Do I have cybermarry you or can I be your cybermistress and we can live in cybersin in the palatial cyberpalace you're going to cyberbuy? Maybe we could get a cybermutt or something.

 

[bulld]

Your call darlin, but I am kinda leanin towards the cybermistress idea. I think it would be cyberhot to live in cybersin with you. But then again there are the cyberchildren to think about. I don't know if I could face them if they were cyberillegitimate. Maybe we should put it up for a cybervote, just not her in florida(still need new voting machines here). What kinda cybermutt?? I'm kinda partial to cybergerman shepards.

 

[KillerMuffin]

There's so many things to consider baby. Do we need a cyberprenup? A cyberpremistressagreement? A cyberlawyer? What would be easier on your cybersettlement from the cyberdoc and cyberbotched your cybervasectomy, cyberpalimony or cyberalimony? Cyberchildsupport can be expensive. I like the idea of a cybergermanshepard to protect the cybermansion when we're on cybervacation in the cyberbahamas. I think we should find the cyberlawyer before we decide if we're going to cybermarry or just cybershackup. 100,000 is alot of cybercash, and now there is cyberprecedent.

What is real?

"There are so many things about life that we take for granted but as humans it isn’t whether our heart beats or our lungs respire that gives us life. It’s what we store in our minds over a lifetime that makes us who we are—human." Afterword--Emily's Vengeance

I wouldn't read too much into the woman's suit and the basis for it. Divorce laws in Europe are much different from those in the US. England only adopted "no-fault" divorce three years ago and, I read this morning, is preparing to drop it. Which means you have to prove a reason for divorce and apportion blame. As for the suit...women usually get screwed financially over here in divorce. During CD-able's divorce she found that even though she was joint on the mortgage (and had been paying it from her salary) and the bank accounts she was not entitled to ANY information or documents about those accounts because her husband was first named AND husbands are always first named on accounts automatically. So...take it for what it is.

As for cyber-sex...I don't do it. Even though this is all "virtual" it is, or can be, very real to some people. The only thing that makes us different from animals who lick their butts is our mind. Emotions are what make us human and this board is literally seething with them. For me, interacting in a sensual or sexual way is very real. CD-able and I had lots of cyber-sex before we were together (although we had known each other for ten years before that). I couldn't have cyber-relations with someone on this board without feeling it dilute what I have with CD-able. Of course, this is my personal feeling, but I can appreciate how partners might feel "cheated" by a parnter carrying on an on-line affair. I also think it's only a symptom of something more seriously wrong with the relationship.

Bloody Hell

1. I'm so glad we don't have a law system here where one person can sue another for financial reward (er sorry, damages, or what ever.) This case simply would not exist in ay for here and I for one am damn happy about it.

2. Ah I see, so this was the diversion to Iraq.

 

[Closet Desire]

That would make it simpler...

...I wasn't aware you didn't have a system like that. Just in the past few years I've watched England become more litigious including the dreadful adverts chasing people who have slipped or fallen. I sort of figured it was an international trend.

I've not been to your "island" but I understand it's gorgeous...lucky you! Now you tell me lawyers don't grow on trees...it must be paradise!!

 

[Busty]

What a sad life she must lead to stoop to this level. I can only feel sorry for her.

Pity from ones peers is a cruel punishment.








How very appropriate.

Like I said we have different laws here, any civil suit involving damages is predominately paid to the crown (state), so I have no idea . . . But does this seem as much a waste of everyones time to you guys as to me. Not to mention the money the guy is gonna have to fork out to get lawyers to toss the case out.

It seems to me that the whole idea from her point of view is to get an out of court settlement. Many cases end up that way and the person initiating the suit gets some money because usually the defendant can not afford a costly trial.

I contracted the cyberlaw firm of DEWEY, CHEATUM and HOWE and they assured me that any of our legal needs could be met by their firm! I am leaving any cyberlegal requirements in their somewhat competent legal hands. I will let you know which cyberagreement they cyberrecogmend. Take good care of our cyberbabies.

Re: Busty

It is not cruel punishment - having sympathy for someone who obviously has nothing else in her life is not a form of punishment. Maybe this is her call for help and no one is listening. Realistically speaking, there cannot be a lot going on in her life if she is trying to sue a cyber lover -someone from the land of make believe. Maybe now the people she does know or her family will try to help her.
