   Very interesting story! I wonder how many other wives or girlfriends would have made the same decision.

   Maybe two years ago I was talking to a friend and we were talking about "Computer Addiction". Not only in chat rooms, but also in role playing games and the like. Granted, we were seriously joking and came up with hypothetical’s, such as Virtual Couples adopting Virtual Children, should you worry if you forget to feed your Virtual Pet and would it have an effect of how you viewed your pet. One of the many "what ifs" was a Virtually Married couple getting a Virtual Divorce. I never thought I would see the day. Of course after November 4th, I should expect many great things happening, but not a virtual couple getting divorced. I think back in the 60's or 70's someone was quoted as saying that television would be the new "Opiate" of the masses. I think that individual didn't look too far into the future with computers. We are, daily might I add, finding ourselves so connected to technology, that if something were to happen to it, we would melt in a corner, very similar to the Wicked Witch of the East in The Wizard of Oz, crying "No more texting! What a world!” I remember when imagination would keep you outside in the backyard or running around the neighborhood. Children these days wait for the next "Imagineer" to create a world they can escape through. We sit and wonder why our children and adults for that matter are becoming more obese and have a million problems socially. But I digress. People, lets get real. Technology works for us, we don't work for it. Let’s go and find friends and even long term relationships out in the real world. Let’s wake up and actually see what our politicians are trying to shove down our throats, and stop suckling this virtual teat, to see if they continue to feed us there useless redo rick. Put down that cell phone, step away from the keyboard and for God's sake, find the life you were meant to live, not the one you virtually live through. I'm sorry for both Amy and David and hope that through some miracle they can both get it together, if not for each other for themselves and any future partner or relationship for that matter. That all said I am signing off and going to meet my "Real World" wife and have a fun afternoon until it's time to pick up the teen from school and have a fun family night. ALL take care and may you find what life has planned for you.

   Divorce was probably the best option. Not because he cheated on her with a virtual prostitute, but because he evidently preferred sex with a virtual prostitute to real sex with his wife.
