flirting or betrayal?

Flirt /verb – a: to behave amorously without serious intent b: to show superficial or casual interest or liking.



When does a cyber-flirting becomes cyber-betrayal? A rapidly growing phenomenon: cyber-affairs, romantic liaisons conducted via computer. Although a majority of such encounters never lead to a physical relationship - causing some observers to dub them "safe infidelity" - cyber-betrayals can seriously damage a relationship and even destroy the marriages of those involved, according to experts.


Even when no physical contact has occurred, these relationships can be "extraordinarily hurtful," says John Mayoue, a family law attorney in Atlanta. "Let's not overreact. Something has gone wrong. Let's address that. But let's not act as though this is a full-on, in-the-flesh affair."


That advice is often easier to accept in theory than in practice.



P.S. I'm just trying to make a point here.
