Dealing with a cyberaffair:

Has the Internet turned your relationship inside-out? Does it seem that your partner’s entire personality has changed since discovering the Internet? Does your Internet-obsessed partner suddenly demand privacy when using the Internet, ignore once routinely performed household chores, come late to bed every night and never has time for sex? Is your partner less interested in your relationship? Then Internet addiction has hit your relationship and a possible cyber-affair may be brewing.

When a husband or wife turns to the computer for intimacy and sex - sometimes even ending a long marriage to run off with their Internet lover - the cyberwidow left behind must confront rejection, abandonment, anger, and confusion about what happened and why.

You can order our exclusive booklet: Infidelity Online: An Effective Guide for Rebuilding your Relationship after a Cyberaffair. Click on the link for details.

Caught in the NET addresses those feelings and illustrates how the quick and easy connections made through the safety of the computer screen undermine intimate relationships at home. Readers learn the basic warning signs that may indicate their spouse has engaged in a cyberaffair, and a step-by-step- plan outlines how to approach the spouse who has strayed.

Please contact our Virtual Clinic if you already know that your partner has an addiction problem or is engaged in a cyberaffair.

Be sure to visit our Cyberwidows Help Center which provides information and resources for spouses and family members.

If you are a family therapist, please refer to our Seminars to arrange a full-day training workshop on the evaluation and treatment of compulsive Internet use and how it impacts marriages and families.
