Adam Cyber cheats married… to each other A married couple are divorcing after they chatted each other up on the Internet using fake names. Full Story: click here First, I would break the reality that an affair with your wife is not grounds to divorce her. They both lied, yes. It could even be argued they both committed adultery in their hearts. But they shouldn’t be getting divorced. They should be getting a marriage counselor and dishing out forgiveness.
