Virtual infidelity 20 November 2008
Where does real life begin and end?

As web chat rooms, forums and virtual worlds become more popular, the opportunity for meeting new people online has never been greater. Virtual worlds are in many ways similar to the real world, offering characters the chance to be part of a community, form new relationships, and even get married. But where does the boundary lie between online and real world relationships? Is cheating in a virtual world ever grounds for divorce? Jenni is joined by Lisa Millar, a virtual world player, Tim Guest, author of Second Lives, and social psychologist Dr Monica Whitty.
