There seems to be a lack of morality on the Internet! I don't know..is it just me overeacting to the porn pop-up windows that come up when they are the last thing I want to see, or all the cases of predators using the Net to find victims.
My advice, be very cautious when it comes to faceless interaction. In my experience, in a realm with no rules or guidelines, humankind simply doesn't have the character not to exploit it.

There are wonderful people on the internet, I know, it's how I met my husband :) There are also low-lifes and predators. Don't give out private information about yourself in a public chatroom. Don't be specific about where you live, where you work and that sort of thing. Disclose it only to people you *trust* and privately. Just a few general rules of caution. You can find all kinds here :)

I would like to add to this:

I sit here in my room typing away in the safety of my home. I find many new friends and find comfort in them . One of such I feel an especialy closeness too. We reach beyond the the miles via internet and he touches my heart. We enjoy each others company. We are both married and so it is safe. Or is it. We share sexual enuendos and jokes, but the miles are such that no one can be hurt right? Wrong. Becaue of our harmless internet friendship (or so we thought), I find now that his wife now feels we are having an affair. That is the farthest thing from his mind. but its too late. They are splitting up becuse of our internet friendship.

I learned this lesson far to late. but I hope someone can learn from this.

I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that I have that your relationship was not the cause of their breakup. I'm betting it was something much bigger and you and the friendship was made out to be a scapegoat.
