My friend has been in an internet relationship for a year and a half now. The relationship was going good until she found out that he was cheating a while back with numerous girls, now she has trouble trusting him but the relationship is going good now. He says he's not cheating and she's trying to trust him. She doesn't want to leave him and he's always begging her back when she has doubts about the relationship. She's moving there with him in about 7-8 months. What should she do? I don't want to tell her my opinion yet but I think she should just do what she feels is right.

The Internet is a smorgasbord of possibilities for life with a beautiful woman-- in a past life as a counselor to women I worked with several clients who had either the kind of internet relationship you describe or very nasty ones. I would suggest she not pull up all her stakes (her supports) and move down to live with this man. It is STILL possible to meet nice men in conventional ways: at the library, in class, through friends', at church groups. The Internet romance is sort of two dimensional-- you are lacking that in-person/I-know-your-sister dimension that can allow for more accountability on his part. Men must just think there is a never-ending ocean of desperate women out there.... are they right?

It all depends on gut feelings. It is always hard to tell a friend anything about her man. If you really care for your friend you will always be honest about how you feel, so long as you convey to your friend that you are only letting her know how you feel so she doesn't make any bad decision she will have to live with for the rest of her life. Also whenever you haven't met someone online it is always best to plan a group trip to meet that person first and always let peple know where you are going that way if something happens people will know where you were.

a web relationship is a relationship between those who've met on-line, and in a good number of cases understand one yet another really through the internet. on-line relationships are similar in a good number of techniques to pen pal relationships.

It depends. Have these two met each other before or has the relationship only consisted of chatting and e-mail?
If they haven't met, then I would advise your friend to at least meet the guy before they move in. It's really easy to make yourself look like someone you're not over IM and e-mail.

If someone is dishonest and wants to cheat they will. How you met them is irrelevant. She must do what is in her heart. If it fails it fails, if she succeeds then great. Be there for her come what may, We all need caring friends like you who love us and do not judge us and are there when the going gets tough.

nothing but trouble as long as its on the internet. however when it gets off the internet there's potential. i met my boyfriend playing pool on yahoo. i didnt remember him the next day, but he had added me on yahoo. i must admit it could have been one of the stupidest things i could have ever done online but we were purely friends for almost a year before anything ever happened - no romantic interest. he was with another girl even. but anyways. be safe. thats all.

I wouldn't put over much trust in some one I have never met face-to-face. She has to take a step back, and realize this is all insane. She has no idea who this guy is, and if he actually is the guy she purportedly loves...

you can't cheat on an internet relationship... an internet relationship can not be taken as serious, it's just chat until you actually meet and do stuff together

Serously I would not be able to trust him,if he cheated on her once whos to say he won't do it again.It is really easy to break a promise.
