Couple Divorces Over Online Cheating

Man hires escort, cheats in Second Life online game

A UK couple has split due to unreasonable behavior. The "behavior" in question? Having sex and extramarital affairs via online virtual-world game Second Life, reports Sky News.

Twenty-eight-year-old Amy Taylor met David Pollard in an Internet chat room a few years back. After six months exchanging emails, photos, and phone calls, she moved in with him. Three months later, she caught Pollard having sex with an escort — in Second Life.

Taylor was outraged, but Pollard promised to straighten up. The two married, and even had a ceremony in Second Life. (Wow.) Unfortunately, Pollard returned to his wayward ways-or at least his online character did.

Taylor once again found Pollard's character in a compromising position. This time, snuggled on a sofa with an American woman. (Um, at least he didn't hire an escort this time? No. It's no better!)

That's when Pollard revealed he had feelings for the other woman. After two weeks of corresponding with the American, Pollard said things were over with Taylor. And get this: Pollard and his new lady-friend are engaged! (Reminder: They've never met in real life.)

But don't worry, Taylor landed on her feet. After filing for divorce (apparently the second Second Life divorce case in one week), she's involved with a man she met while playing online game World of Warcraft.
