Infidelity and the Internet by Marlene Maheu and Rona Subotnik

The internet has made it easier for us to do almost anything, including cheat on our loved ones. Infidelity and the Internet looks at just how such e-relationships develop, how they differ from those involving physical contact, and where they lead. The authors sought and received stories from hundreds of men and women in the development of this book, and their presence is perhaps too strong; while there is detailed information about how internet affairs begin and end, and numerous stories of how they changed marriages (a few, notably, for the better), there is not much insight regarding the healing process for those harmed by affairs that had beginnings online. Indeed, the volume ultimately comes off as a stark warning to those who believe internet flirtations are somehow less dangerous or hurtful simply because they are more anonymous.
