Peggy Vaughn is the author of The Monogamy Myth and also serves as an expert for America Online on problems caused by infidelity. She is writing a second book on the subject of adultery and says she could base half of it just on the letters she receives from people who started an affair online. Just as the Internet has become a new source of pornography for many, so it seems that it has also become a new source for affairs. Relationships online frequently go over the line leaving pain, heartbreak, and even divorce in their wake. Even though these online affairs don't involve sex, they can be very intense and threaten a marriage just the same.
Online affairs can be just as powerful and devastating as real life affairs.
If you frequent online chat rooms or know people who do, I would encourage you to write or call for Probe's material on the subject of online affairs . You may be helping someone avoid a problem that could ruin their life. I'm Kerby Anderson of Probe Ministries, and that's my opinion.
