Virtual Affair Leads To Real Divorce For UK Couple

A virtual affair is ending a real-life marriage in southwest England.

Amy Taylor filed for divorce when she discovered her husband cheating in Second Life - an online community where players adopt personas and mingle with others.

"I caught him cuddling a woman on a sofa in the game," Taylor told the South West News Service.

"It looked really affectionate. He confessed he'd been talking to this woman player in America for one or two weeks, and said our marriage was over and he didn't love me any more."

The couple's marriage started to fall apart after Taylor allegedly caught her husband's avatar having cyber sex with a virtual prostitute last year. She said she had fallen asleep and when she woke up and spotted the pair cavorting on the computer screen.

She gave him a second chance but then discovered he allegedly strayed again. Taylor tells the agency that she is getting a divorce next week.
