Just curious, i want to know if online friendships affect Real life.

And how sexually and emotionally.
 
You don't want to know...

much do you?? :)

Need to have a "other" response in your poll, babe.

It isn't always cut and dry, yes or no.

Are you talking about online lovers meaning more to you than your partner?

Or just in general how friendships affect you?

Just Curious

No i mean sexually/emotionally.
I have heard stories of people leaving their spouses/marriage/kids for someone that is online. A person that can can tell You anything You want to hear.
ad then after You give all that up, You realize that it isn't always greener on the other side. You get my meaning???
I came out here 3 years ago. I met a gal online, she promised me the world, and it just didn't work out. I didn't leave any relationship except for my family. Crazy Huh? I decided to make it out here instead of running back home with my tail between my legs. Anyhow enough of the book, just wanted to know if it really happens.
 
Oh, ok.. I see..

You are talking from personal experience.

Your attitude about what happened to you is refreshing. No bitterness, well, maybe a little?:)

Would you want to experience that again? Finding someone online? I would think that is a difficult relationship to maintain.

I can only say that my online friends are my friends and they are my friends even if i am not on line. Just as my face to face friends are always with me.

I have never had a relationship fall apart due to an online romance but i have never had an online romance when i was seriously involved.

I think it is very possible to fall in love on line. Several reasons.

1) I think people show much more much more quickly online. I think because they feel protected by being annonymous.

2) because of number 1 I think people are gererally more open about what they want, and i think in general peoples fantasy life is more intense than the reality.

These two things only apply to those who are being reasonalby honest. Without that, there is no chance to have any worthwhile relationship.
 
About 5 years ago I "met" a man online. We chatted everyday and everynight. I am married but there were problems in the marriage at the time so I was vulnerable. I gave this man that I was talking to my phone number. We began talking to eachother on the phone every night. The next thing we started doing was telling eachother we loved eachother and then making plans for me to go see him. Well I have a son too and didnt want my marriage to go down the tubes because of my ignorance. So my husband and I started going to a therapist and we worked several things out. So needless to say I didnt go see this guy and we immediately stopped talking to eachother. So yes I do believe you can fall in love with someone online and want to leave everything to pursue the relationship. Now my marriage is stronger than ever. And I am thankful for that.

Good For You

Enchanting Beauty good for You. It is sometimes hard to be strong. I would think this would more pertain to people that are being physically or emotionally abused, or their spouse is having an affair.
Thank You for your honesty.

I wish You a lifetime of happines. :)

How long were you chatting before you gave over your phone number?

Just curious,

If I am not mistaken I believe it was about 6 months after talking to eachother everyday online.
 
I enjoy the people I have met on line.

I see them as my friends and a while back I met this amazing sweet funny guy and we are the best of friends, since the minute he IM' me I have felt comfortable about him. We plan to get together and go have some Japanese food ... soon.

So ... yes I do see my online friends as real friends. :)

No regrets? You don't talk to him now?

If this is too personal for the board, just pm me. :)

I have no regrets about not going to see him and leaving my husband. Yes I did love 2 men at the same time. But my marriage was worth more to me. I also dont have any regrets about talking to this man online and falling in love with him. He was someone I could talk to when I didnt have my husband at the time. I no longer speak to this person. I would not do anything to jeapordize my relationship with my husband anymore. I didnt know if I should share this with anyone because I didnt want to look like a fool but thought what the heck things like this happen and why not share my opinion on the matter.
 
Lots of married ppl here at Lit are having online/offline affairs. Plasticman and *bratcat* are both married toother people but f*&king around with each otherhere AND trying to meet irl to. Tiger_in_NJ and lovetoread, to, but they are only online. Cymbidia and MS are both married but not to each other but they are getting divorces to be together. Who else? There is lots of this going on here.

You do not look like a fool. I appreciate your honesty and I am sure tripleicemocha does too.:) You were vulnerable and someone was there. I think that is the way it happens in real life also. Rarely is it a full blown lust affair. Usually it is a meeting of minds, thoughts, and desires. That is why it is so easy to fall in love online. You express those hidden feelings, desires to people so much more easily than in real life. Therefore it is easier to become emotionally attached.

Don't knock yourself for being human. I applaud you for turning your life around and not going with the flow of things. Very happy that it turned out right for you.

Thanks juicylips!! I have never been happier!! Marriage has been great ever since and we have learned to talk to eachother instead of turning to other people. We are now going on being married for 9 years.

Normally I ignore GUTLESS, SPINELESS, CLUELESS FUCKHEADS like yourself, but today you get to see a gentler kinder me......

If you have something to say, say it in you own name....Maybe if you got had a backbone shit wouldn't be running out your mouth.......


Now back to your regularly scheduled porn.................
 
Re: have I told you lately...

*bratcat* said:


that you turn me on?;)


And you thought I was all fluff and warm snuggles.........;) :p


It's my lucky day.............:D :D
 
The most powerful aphrodisiac is conversation.

Therein lies the danger. And the fun.

one can have friends online...and offline that you have met through the web...I have a number of those...

Yes, I have met plasticman in real life...he is a doll...BUT we ARE both married and we DO have morals...so certain things are NOT experienced in real life...sheesh...if you don't know what you are talking about then keep your mouth shut...

I am not the only one that is married and chatting with other men...EVERY married person on here flirts and some carry it to telephones and even further...I dare you to say otherwise if you are married...

AND in case I didn't make it clear earlier...DON'T post shit that you know NOTHING about.

What the hell was that all about? Some idiots draw conclusions in their own sick little minds that have nothing to do with reality!

Have bratcat and I met? Yes. Are we both married? Yes Are we friends? Yes Have we had an affair? No. Do we flirt? Of course so does just about everyone here!

GET A LIFE, Jerk!

Basically I don't even know why either one of us even felt we had to defend our knowing each other!

I have nothing to contribute to this thread (not married, not fooling around on-line yet--except for the flirting you all see), but that quote is one for the books. I love it.

Learn something new every day. Thanks, A-W
 
I voted No for the following two reasons:

1) It was 4:5 in favor of Yes. So I wanted to tie things up! :D

2) I've been online long enough that I know people are, in actuality, very different in person than they are in the cyberworld... So to say I would forsake what I have for what is an unknown... Well, that'd be really crazy!

3) Okay, okay... I don't count well either! Besides the above, I'm very, very happy with what I have! Cannot imagine it being any better. ;) See the thread with Stef's Pics! :p :D :p
