Lots of authors of the stories that appeared in the Internet Love Story column have praised the net for bringing them together with soul mates from afar that they could never have otherwise met.  It is also true that in the world of cyberspace, void of all inhibitions, even those who would never think of flirting in real life become brave enough and do.  In these on-line chat rooms you can find with equal frequency the respectable family man, the bored housewives and the love seeking teens.  We've said little so far of the dark side of the net, the emotions that the spouse of the entangled husband or wife experiences.  The helplessness they feel watching their spouse be overtaken by this mysterious world hiding behind the monitor that they don't understand.  Rather than my comments, let the reader's letters speak for themselves.  Below is one letter I've selected from readers on this subject.

I no longer know how – basically, it doesn't really matter – I discovered your column but I'm glad it happened.  The topic we can read about there is probably affecting many people, but in the near future it will be happening on a mass scale.  I'm not using the word mass figuratively.

I'm affected to an extent on the subject.  I need to mention in the beginning that I'm not part of the younger generation and that makes this even more thought provoking.  Why do I feel as though I need to contribute my thoughts to the collection?  Simply, because during the past few days I've spent a lot of time trying to think what could have happened to me.  First the plain facts.  I was doing research on the net for my work (of course, that's what everybody would say), when by accident I came upon the TTC Chat.  There is no explanation why, but I logged in.  Even choosing a nick was as simple as if I were an old pro.  It appears that perhaps it worked too well.  I thought I was seeing things, within minutes I found myself 4-5 chat partners.  Naturally, they were all students.  I must admit I've thoroughly enjoyed my abrupt popularity as it came to me unexpectedly.  One of the usual questions of ‘how old are you’ I naturally put 52.  When I see it written down it stuns even myself because I don't feel that old, but facts are stubborn things.  It turned out that exactly the opposite happened from what I had expected.  The majority of the girls asked me for a date and then something that even today I can't find an explanation for.  I've exchanged e-mail addresses with one of the girls and we actually met.  Naturally my wife didn't know about this.

Dear Madam,

Since I was facing something unexplainable I thought a great deal about the situation of meeting people on the internet.  What is it that makes the chat so exciting, so magical?  We can meet people on the street, at clubs and several other opportunities.  As a common denominator of all of these is the fact that we base these meetings on exterior, on how we look.  Contrary to this on the net, at least in the beginning, the exterior may be ignored although this also must bring some element of excitement.  By the time things reach the meeting stage the interior has projected through the letters and shifts the point of view.  It is this chance that is not given in a real situation versus a virtual one.
+
Unfortunately the majority of the people found in chat rooms are either emotionally handicapped or are there to cheat money out of older men.  They display fake data about themselves and turn spouses against each other.
  
−
All young men and women have an ideal that they would like to conquer, but in most cases this does not happen.  Unfortunately, ideals are few and far between.  Most people are not as attractive as the models smiling from the pages of magazines or the stars of TV soaps.  If we look back in history, we'll find that this existed for most of humanity.
+
It seems most probable that my 24 year marriage will be breaking up.  We have two grown daughters.  One is still in school the other will graduate this year.  I am a businesswoman, my husband is a businessman.  He fell in with a chat group that had turned him inside out completely.  I can hardly recognize him.  I've succeeded in tracking down the backgrounds of one of the people.  The news devastated my husband, yet he is still unwilling to believe that the others are any different.  To top it all off, he is using my internet address for his chats, and of course this reflects poorly on me and my employees.  I've asked that he visit a psychiatrist who might be able to help him.

From the masculine perspective the scheme is simple: power and money attract women and men somehow want to conquer what appears to be their ideal in beauty.  Even people who have physical flaws do not dream about a mate with similar problems.  I'm merely guessing here although there are examples to back me up in world literature: Cirano, Quasimodo to mention the most famous.  Finally, with little exception, everyone meets his/her match.  The system must be working because the race had not died out.  Looking at the divorce statistics we see that it is not working perfectly, but perhaps many marriages would never have taken place had the emotional differences surfaced earlier on in the relationship.  You could cite here that even longer marriages end in divorce.  There must be other reasons for these break ups, but those that lasted for short years or merely months are marriages that would never have made it in this fashion.  In my opinion this is what the net has a perspective in.

Until now I've trusted him 100%, but unfortunately I’ll never be able to believe a word from him again and under those circumstances I don't believe it will be possible to maintain the marriage.  I've tried everything I could think of to put this behind me but he is unwilling to break away from the chat group.  It would be a good idea to close such places because it can do a lot of damage.  I use the internet frequently, but it never occurred to me to use the chat room.

The fantastic thing about the net is that the complex we develop about our exterior does not inhibit the spirit from developing.  This conviction is strengthened in me when I read the articles that have appeared in this column.  In the worst case scenario when the physical appearance is completely different from the imagination, you've still made a friend.  That is no small feat these days.  It is probably not important for you to know the continuation of my story, I’ll just say that I think it is perhaps time for me to read Faust once more.

Finally, I'm repeating myself by saying that I'm glad to have found your column.  I’ll admit that my favorite of the stories was the “Lilly Among the Thorns”, there was an aura of a very special person emanating from it.  I'm richer now for having read it.

The Cause of Divorce: Intenet?

Dear Madam,

Unfortunately the majority of the people found in chat rooms are either emotionally handicapped or are there to cheat money out of older men. They display fake data about themselves and turn spouses against each other.

It seems most probable that my 24 year marriage will be breaking up. We have two grown daughters. One is still in school the other will graduate this year. I am a businesswoman, my husband is a businessman. He fell in with a chat group that had turned him inside out completely. I can hardly recognize him. I've succeeded in tracking down the backgrounds of one of the people. The news devastated my husband, yet he is still unwilling to believe that the others are any different. To top it all off, he is using my internet address for his chats, and of course this reflects poorly on me and my employees. I've asked that he visit a psychiatrist who might be able to help him.

Until now I've trusted him 100%, but unfortunately I’ll never be able to believe a word from him again and under those circumstances I don't believe it will be possible to maintain the marriage. I've tried everything I could think of to put this behind me but he is unwilling to break away from the chat group. It would be a good idea to close such places because it can do a lot of damage. I use the internet frequently, but it never occurred to me to use the chat room.
