Wonderland: Virtual Adultery and Cyberspace Love (2007)

"Carolyn is a 37 year-old mother of four in the midst of a passionate affair that is tearing her family apart. She's spending up to 18 hours a day with her lover, and her husband is in despair. But the extraordinary thing about this affair is that Carolyn's lover is man she has never met. Because he's not a human being. He's an avatar (or computer generated figure), who exists only in the virtual world of Second Life. And their relationship exists only in cyberspace."

Seriously? This Lee guy is paying for his wife to ignore him. If she thinks her life is so miserable, she should see what it's like to have a damn job and pay for her own little fantasy world. This level of neglect is ridiculous and he should leave her, take the kids (and the money), and see she has a wake up call or not. If not, move on to someone who isn't a video game addict. These people are so sad, they don't realize that you can't escape real life.

There is no way i would put up with this kind of behaivior.She is disrespecting her family,and should be ashamed.Lee should be able to get a divorce with no problem.Any judge would side with him.There is no excuse for her to do this when married.

Hm, interesting documentary. I can understand the Second Life fascination. When your real life absolutely sucks, it is just an escape to disappear into your computer and pretend to be someone completely different, with a new completely different life.
But, anyway... that couple seriously just needs to get divorced. They're both obviously unhappy together, and "working on a marriage" is such a silly and useless thing to do. If it's over, it's over. If Carolyn has to resort to spending her life on a computer to be happy, she needs to rethink her existence or something.
