What do you think of online relationship? What if your spouse has an online girl/boy friend? What if they agreed to meet online few times a week to chat, or be talking on the phone for hour but can't seem to have a conversation with you for 10 minutes? Should I be worry?

No point worrying but you must have a sit down to share with your partner how his/her actions are making you feel.  I am no marriage/relationship counsellor, so perhaps a professional in that area might be of better assistance to you.  All the best.

Some people fulfill their social needs via online relationships.  Many of them are platonic and others lead to issues or actions that can be detrimental to your relationship with your partner.


A very open dialogue with your partner is necessary.  This will allow you to understand why they enjoy this online relationship and the type of relationship it is currently and what it might turn out to be in the future.    By seeking to understand your partner's viewpoint first you can then begin to share your needs for enhancing your relationship, share your fears of this online relationship harming your relationship with your partner and determining the root cause of your dissatisfaction.  You may find that you have nothing to fear over the online relationship and you may encourage your partner to meet your needs better.


Depending on what you find out, Looi is correct, you may need to seek additional resources of a professional counselor to help you both.

I wouldn't worry until I had a talk with my husband and find out what part this person is playing in his life. It is so much easier to talk to someone about things, good and not so good, through a computer screen than it is face to face. Communication is what drives a relationship. You seem worried, and I think you should find out if you have something to worry about, the sooner the better. Maybe it would be easier to confront him in a neutral place, like a restaurant, where he cannot raise his voice. You are not alone, this goes on all of the time. I think it is a good thing that you know about it. I wish you the best of luck. Just remember, you are strong and you can let your feelings be known.

I would talk with your partner - but I would be leary personally.  I have no tolerance for any kind of cheating or straying.  Good luck and just remember that there are good professionals out there to help if you need it!

Any kind relationship with spouse and third party is of two kinds , withinin the knowledge and beyond knowledge. If the things are not in  my knowledge I have nothing to do . If the things grew under my nose . I have right to ask my spouse what about it at the same time I will also ask my self where I am failing . If the relation is beyond ethical jurisdiction ,in that  case I think I will resort to closing option. One must  remember that zealousy sometimes amplify small things . It needs time to build a home but it doesnot take time to destroy it .
