Justice]"LONDON, England (CNN) -- A British couple who married [in real life and] in a lavish Second Life wedding ceremony are to divorce after one of them had an alleged "affair" in the online world.Amy Taylor, 28, said she had caught husband David Pollard, 40, having sex with an animated woman. The couple, who met in an Internet chatroom in 2003, are now separated."I went mad -- I was so hurt. I just couldn't believe what he'd done," Taylor told the Western Morning News. "It may have started online, but it existed entirely in the real world and it hurts just as much now it is over."[...]Taylor said she had caught Pollard's avatar having sex with a virtual prostitute: "I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned."[...]Pollard admitted having an online relationship with a "girl in America" but denied wrongdoing. "We weren't even having cyber sex or anything like that, we were just chatting and hanging out together," he told the Western Morning News.[Amy] Taylor is now in a new relationship with a man she met in the online roleplaying game World of Warcraft (CNN)."That's funny because in my second life game, my avatar got married in a lavish ceremony which ended up in divorce when my avatar wife caught my character "cheating" on her when it was playing the online game "third life." It was animated bliss. |
