Is Divorce rate higher for Internet Savvy people?

[River Street Sweets]

I have been in the internet business for 7/8 years now, an avid user for much longer than that, and i'm recently divorced... and I disagree with the statement. The type of person who is going to use the internet to 'hook up' with someone in a chat room or use it to cheat is the same person who would 'hook up' with someone in a bar or on the job or wherever. It's all about the person, not their hobbies or work. As for the long hours... it's not fair to limit that to the internet and IT fields. Unfortunately, now a days, many professionals have to work long hours to stay ahead of the game: whether you're a lawyer, doctor, banker, or just a struggling parent who needs to get 2 jobs to make ends meet.

I think the divorce rate is high right now because people don't take marriage seriously anymore. They think the second it gets tough you can bail and that you shouldn't have to 'work' at it. I know a lot of young people who go into marriage thinking "oh well.. if it doesn't work, no big deal. I'll just get a divorce". It just doesn't mean what it used to. It's sad, really.

Ok heres my opion.I am new to this thread.But i think the intenet is good for alot of things.But it is aslo bad for spouses who want to cheat on their marriages too.I think alot of people want to go and find old friends in there life too.For me i don't have a problemn with my dh having female friends as long as he can tell me what he talked to them about ect without hiding it.Anyways that is just my thoughts.I do have 2 older girls and they can be on the internet as long as they ask and mon/dad know where they are going.We don't let them go into chat room or instant message anyone.They can send e-mails but they come to my account.

Well, for starters, I met my DH on the net. We were both separated, and my DD talked me in to signing up to "one of the groups". I met my DH within 1 week of signing up.

We are both addicted to the computer. But now, it's when time allows........

I guess what I'm trying to say is that when I read everything above, I always feel that it knocks the way we met, and we did it without hurting anyone.

Yes, we still use the 'puter. Any chance I get I am on FC. He is on his sites.

Both my children have there own 'puters. I guess it's all a matter of trust.
