Your love life on the rocks?

Spare a thought for these two wretched bastards:

A married couple who didn't realise they were chatting each other up on the internet are divorcing. (http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22439156-5012895,00.html)

What shocks me more is they agreed to meet without figuring it out beforehand, is that the state of our society?
You flirt a bit online then decide you're gonna meet?
I honestly believe the popularity of computers in this age has made us lazier and much less social.

How is it anti-social to talk online then meet each other?

I've went out with women I've found online. ;)

I'd rather talk online then go see them.

You could meet someone at church though. :)

Wait...everyone goes to church right? :whistlin:

If they were both going to cheat, shouldn't they just forgive each other and not divorce? ;)

Isn't this the plot to the Pina Colada song?

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, I'm saying you should be much more cautious and make sure you really know the person you're meeting.

I married someone I met online...though six years after we first started talking on a message board, and we waited some time before meeting in person ;)

I think it's weird that at no point during their Internet chats did they ask each other their (real) first names. It might've nipped things in the bud.

"Sana? My wretched wife's name is Sana!"

That explains it. Your wife seemed way too hot in comparison. So she fell in love with you as a person and that's how you tricked her into getting married. Learn from him.

Please don't give me red points. :laugh:

I like how they state they are getting the divorce because each other was unfaithful...even though...neither one sleapt with someone else or each other it sounds like.
Then again----
How stupid, if they liked each other online then they should work it out..thats marriage. Getting through the rough times together no mater how stupid or hard it is.

If they liked each other online then why not just chat online.

Now see, this is how I always thought that #%@$ing song SHOULD have ended.
I mean, you go to meet up with someone and... it's your spouse/SO?!?
In the song, they giggle and laugh it off. Probably because it was the 70s and they were stoned.

I met my now wife online, we met, fell in love, got married and are now raising our little girl together. This October will be 9 years since we first met.

I LOVE this song!!!

Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape.

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape.

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, I never knew...

That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape.

If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape.

If this were that "Christmas Wrapping" song they would have both forgotten the cranberries and met up at the supermarket...

It is a greivous social faux pas to mention Christmas music before the winter solstice. Apologize.

"Sana? My wretched wife's name is Sana!"

The whole story stinks of urban legend to me. It's just too much to assume that they'd never have mentioned those little details. Names... kids having to be at soccer practice... other important dates and events as they take place. Where they live... phone numbers... something.

Toyandgadgetguy

09-24-2007, 04:15 PM

the funny thing...they fell in love with each other all over again..

It just shows how important communication can be...they weren't communicating in real life..and they found each other online..and communicated...probably saying all the things they had been wanting to say to each other in real life, but never did.

Agree! Too much of this "I just fell out of love" crap going on. If you're not telling the other person what's wrong... then you're just as guilty of being half the problem. (unless it's a threesome, then you're a third guilty). :nyah:

I think part of the problem with people who 'fall out of love' is our culture's obsession with romance; people feel like something is wrong if they are not in a perpetual state of infatuation with their partner. That's just silly. You're not going to feel the same way after years of seeing one another every day as you did the first time you kissed.

This is why I'm a fan of chaining my wife to a post in our livingroom. If she's mad at me, I just keep her there till she's over it.

Ack! I think I just described Matt Waterman's weekend! :nyah: (sorry, Matt)

But, if you look at the so-called "christian" dating sites, there are way too many divorced people. And, singles that have never been married with one or more children. :rolleyes:

We didn't fall in love online. We "met" on a Superman movie message board in 2001 and started talking online (email, MSN and the like) after seeing we shared many common interests and viewpoints. Then, after a long time simply chatting, we moved to talking on the phone and then met in person and it grew into love from there. We did split for a little while later, but got back together in 2005 and got married in May this year. No trickery involved, just good ole fashioned love :D

Ditto

I met my now wife online, we met, fell in love, got married and are now raising our little girl together. This October will be 9 years since we first met.

Great stuff, C. I'm very happy for you :D
