The Internet and Affairs
Today, the internet has become a dangerous place for spouses and couples, introducing cyber infidelity.

Often contact begins innocently - two people chatting about a common interest. A friendship forms, then expands and grows into a cyber-romance. In other cases, the anonymity of online lures an otherwise faithful spouse into "playing around."

It is commonly believed that a person who has an online "affair" would have strayed from the marriage anyway if they had the opportunity. The big difference is that online presents so many opportunities. And they can justify (in their own minds anyway) that it's a "safe" affair. After all, it isn't "real." It doesn't count, right? Wrong.

An on-line extramarital affair takes energy out of a marriage. In a growing number of cases, cyber-lovers have acted on their desires and met in real life.

If you are a spouse who suspects your partner might be having an online affair, wants to find out if he/she is telling the truth or has a need to discover details of the affair, the Toorak Detective Agency can help you.
