Do you use the Internet to help  solve personal relationship problems. Why?

It prvovides a broad range of wisdom, and relieves a level of personal embarassment.  You just have to know how to sort through the chaff

Having an entity that provides a means for one to share their internal personal conflicts is a clever tool. It is easier for one to relive guilt or experss happiness to something they know will remain impartial. E) Is my answer.

The Internet is an imaginary place where we meet real people. No need to lessen it with a sense of guilt.

I think that any relationship online is ridiculous.\n\nYou need to wake up and realize that going out into public and meeting peopl eis the only way to meet "the one" anyone u meet online could be bsin u.\n\nGood gracious people WAKE UP!!

it is not true....\nbecause of Internet, our relationships are growing.\nit has always been a good tool for starting a new friendship!\n\n& yes talking is getting less, but in the hectic scheduled modern world, we prefer an email rather than a phone call or postal letters....\n\nit is just that..... we hav to adapt ourselves...

Some things I will agree that they can be solved if the people actually take the time to talk and think things through together. The advantage of having an experienced counselor is that they're like a guide through working out your issues. They know the traps to avoid and where certain paths lead. They can save you a couple messy break-ups and help salvage a relationship when there doesn't seem to be a shred of hope. If you two can't make it work yourselves and counselor might be able to help.

For normal people it wouldn't be a serious problem, but for someone who feels the need to share about it online, well, you might need help.

its definately scary out there sometimes and people have to be careful but ive met a lot of 'toads' in person too who lied and cheated and had gfs all over the place and led them all on. so its not just online and its been going on for ages and ages, it might just be easier now. \n\nthere are steps everyone should take in trying to make sure the person they are talking to is for real. seeing them on cam for one, so you know who you are talking to is really like the photos you have seen, being able to talk to them or call them whenever you want (might show they arent really married or living with someone), etc etc. \n\ni think the internet can be a good tool for getting to know more people. ive lived in my town for 17 years and i personally dont believe that i would just magically walk into 'the right guy' after all these years. instead i walked into one that lives 4000 miles away haha. if it wasnt for the internet we would not have been able to continue our relationship so closely. i think its a great tool for meeting friends, etc, but you definately have to be sensible and careful - just like meeting anyone in person!

Why the hell are you asking people on the internet? Get a counselor!

Yes because in my EX marriage, it led to other things. It went to porn chat rooms and eventually to meeting up with the women he met online. It destroys relationships.\n\nAnd to your added comment, DON'T accept it. Why should you?  It's like compromising your standards for the sake of him. If you are uncomfortable with it then stand your ground. I personally think any decent man with a strong spiritual belief and is committed to his partner would look for a more healthy and moral outlet.  It's disrespectful.  \n\nI tried to accept it too and look what it ended up doing.

Many. I've had several friends that I met on the Internet for up to 12 years now. I've met many of them in real life, sometimes meeting up with a group of us for a weekend vacation. Several others I've met when one was nearby for some reason or other.  I've also dated two of the women I've met on the internet and had a great relationship with both.( note: I knew each for a couple years before we started dating)\n\nThe internet can be used as just another extension of communicating and I see little problem with meeting people that I've become friends with.

I was married to a german national. we had a long distance relationship before we got married. but (and this is the key thing), because you cant interact in person with someone in a long distance relationship, you lose the inflections of the conversation and the body language and all the other small things that complete a persons definition. because i couldnt see that with this person, she got her citizenship and then blew town. Divorced me and left me with an empty bag. Im better off now, and am better off without her, but the point is that without the personal interaction and receptives of being in person, the relationship is doomed. be it 6000 miles like mine, or 6 miles. if you dont see the person regularly, you will never really know them. The same applies tenfold for internet relationships. The internet is now in its early teens and I have never once seen an online relationship that ever worked. Nuff said.

I think friendships and relationships have as much chance of surving if started online as any other!  They will only last though, if both parties are actually honest, and true to themselves!  If you are being a different person online to who you really are, then expect to be found out.  It's legitimate if kept online, it's just different when you meet in person.

I had a friend who wanted to meet someone. She was a lot older than me and wasn't the bar type. We put an ad in a newspaper but it was only a local one because we couldn'y afford anything else. Anyway, I came across an internet site that flashed up in a pop up whilst I was downloading music. It was for a dating site called Loopy love. I checked it out and it was free.\nSo I called her and she came over and she asked me to show her what to do. She wasn't computer literate so I made myself a profile, even though I had decided I wasn't dating ever again after a horrible relationship, and she watched me, so she would know what to do. Then we did her one. It was a bit of fun.\nA few hours later, I had one message, from a guy who said he was in the same town as me. As it was an internet thing I knew I had no obligations to him, so I could have a little fun. We emailed back and forth and after about three emails I realised that he sounded my cup of tea.\nWe swapped numbers and I found out he worked on my road. Better still he was the guy I waved at flirtaciously every day on my way into town. Even better still, the photo he sent me confirmed this.\nAnyway, we started dating and now we're getting married!\nI wasn't a computer freak, but I found love by accident haha.

The internet is not for love. It's for porn and entertainment. Find someone within your reach.
