Internet Cheaters.
The new breed of cheating spouses.

Introduction

Every year, an increasing percentage of marriages are ending in divorce and fewer relationships are even making it as far as marriage because they break down before this final step is reached. Alarmingly, one of the biggest contributing factors to this is cheating spouses and with the increased usage of the Internet has come a massive increase in the number of relationships breaking down through online affairs.

Internet chat rooms and adult content websites are being introduced on average every 5 minutes of every day. The temptation for potential cheating spouses is increasing with every new site.

The facts

Of all the divorces in the USA, approximately one third are now ending because of online affairs. Online affairs are seen as many as either being safe or simply not adultery. In fact, almost half (47%) of men interviewed in a recent study stated that they didn't think of online affairs as being real adultery. Because they never meet up with their cyber partners, the belief is that nothing untoward has happened. However, the intent is still there, and the new age of cyber sexual relationships is far from being harmless or victimless.

How to tell if your partner is a cheating on you

The tell tale signs of a cyber cheat are very similar to those of a 'normal' cheating spouse. Their attitude towards you and family and friends will undoubtedly change. However, there are other signs that suggest your partner is specifically cheating over the Internet. If there Internet usage has increased dramatically and they become very secretive or evasive over what they are actually doing, then you have every right to be suspicious and you should consider trying to find out exactly what they are doing.

If you can keep your PC in a public place in the house, then you will be able to get a very good idea of whether they are cheating on you. A cyber cheat would much prefer to have their PC in a secluded room so they can be alone.

If you suspect your partner, there are steps you can take to find out for sure.

You may not want to jump straight in and accuse them of cheating on you, in case you are wrong so you should take some preliminary steps before confronting your partner. Talk to them about their views on cybersex and the time they spend on the Internet. Find out what it is they do while they are online. Try to catch them in the act, walk up to them and ask if you can use the Internet for something. Check their email accounts when they're not around.

Unfortunately, sometimes, more drastic measures are called for and one of the most effective measures is using monitoring software. This software will track all the websites they visit and emails they send and will store them for you to look at, at your discretion.

The bottom line

The adult industry is a multi billion-dollar industry and nearly 300 new adult sites, including adult chat rooms and web cam sites, are being added every single day. If your partner is liable to become a cheating spouse there is a very good chance that they will try their luck over the Internet.

You need to protect yourself from the heartache, or at least find out for sure and without interrogating your partner directly, monitoring software is a highly effective way of doing this.
