Virtual Affair in Second Life Leads to Real-Life Divorce

Ok, Second Life user Amy Taylor, aren’t you taking things a bit too seriously? Apparently Ms. Taylor is filing for divorce “on the ground of unreasonable behavior after her husband admitted to falling in love with the virtual female character.” Said virtual home wrecker was caught with ex-husband’s David Pollard’s avatar (both pictured above) “in a compromising position on a sofa.”
Granted, there is some betrayal here committed by the real-life David to the real-life Amy (pictured above). But why let somewhat virtual reality lead to the end of an apparently fruitful real-world relationship. Then again, Mr. Pollard complained that “his former wife was more interested in her life online than she was in him”. Ah, that explains it David! You choose to break her heart in a place that literally meant the world to her.
In any case, maybe the end of the marriage is a good thing. Can you imagine how their kids would’ve turned out? (timesonline.co.uk)
