Im new 30 and divorcing, have two children. Hello!

NoRegrets- unlike your name he will be having some. What a cop out! Of course teenagers are hard to deal with. Sons esp. find it hard when Mum gets a new man so he is in for trouble later.

Divorce Lawyer- It is really bad isn't it? Maybe some of those predictions that it is "the devil" are true lol! I do love the internet though. Can't imagine life without it.

I reckon that a lot of men only need the opportunity to cheat and they will even if they are not unhappy with their wives and the internet provides the opportunity.

Lady in Blue- Thank you!!!!!! Well he had lots of exes and girls he met throughout his life that he was too shy too approach at the time but facebook lets you find all your old school and work pals and I guess he was feeling like he could get these girls now. Also things were not great at home as he and my son regularly locked horns so he decided there is an easier and better life to be had.

Angel- Thank you.

Here we go again, blaming only men

I'm jumping in here before Marshy does!

There are an awful lot of PEOPLE that have the opportunity to cheat quietly over the internet. Some take it further and CHOOSE to meet, others realise their moral boundaries and pull out before anything happens.

Smiley, this isn't a personal pop at you, it's just that it's a people thing, not a man thing and Marshy and I stick up for the blokes who have been wronged

Welcome to Wiki

Lsot is quite right.

One of my most satisfying work days was getting a wife's bank statements... she who defended the divorce on the basis she was whiter than white... and seeing the lists of direct debits to the great many dating sites she subscribed to for the last year of her marriage...

lol.

Just an observation that if a woman is happy within herself and her marriage she is unlikely to cheat.

Whereas a man can be happy, secure, happily married and still cheat.

There was probably a reason those women signed on to dating sites in the last "unhappy" year of marriage.

Hi Smiley

Welcome to Wiki!

I think one can say very very loosely that men are usually deemed to be less faithful or easier to stray. But one needs to just read some of the posts on here to realise that there are ALOT of women who are just pure evil and can go to unbelievable length to hurt their husbands or ex husbands - more often than not using kids as a bargaining chips.

as for the internet...well it is what brought me and my ex together as we met online. and although we did not get divorce because of him finding someone else online etc, the internet was a small contributing factor. what can i say. like everything else it has the good and the bad and definitely the ugly.

im just glad that i have the opportunity to talk and meet so many great people online through here.

take care

Hi Claudette

Sorry to hear that the net contributed to your break up.
Thanks for your message. I have not looked around the site much yet so will be horrified soon I am sure, when I do take a good look round!!

I suppose some people are selfish and lots are just plain confused, no matter the gender.

I get your point!
