| Of course not! Go for it! All people who are made up of bits and bytes, can travel through telephones, and starred in the movie "Tron" should give up everything and elope with others that they met on the net. Oh, wait, you're NOT only electrons? Oh, my mistake. Well then, maybe I need more information. Do you have kids (little branch alternate personnel packages)? What is your relationship like with your husband? Have you ever met your net honey? Have you talked about this type of thing with your husband? Have you gone to counseling? I would like to know more about your specific situation, but two general rules may apply: 1) Even though **I** am a programmer, I believe that getting to know someone on the net is not a full-life experience. You do not get physical, oral, and other myriad cues from net interaction that you get from face-to-face interaction. Although an opposing argument can be offered, I believe that getting to "know" someone on the net can be very misleading. 2) It is a natural inclination to romanticize the unknown, to prefer the new over the old. But when the new becomes the old, then what do you have? There are many, many net people who you will eventually meet if you keep surfing. I wonder if you will "connect" with many more netizens over the years. This particular plan of dumping your husband seems ill-advised, but who am I to stand in the way of the man of your dreams. |
