this gets weird.
this is all about the blurry line between role play and reality.
here is the question-
i am married, but have a crush on a man we play an online game with ( I have met this man in real life, before we ever started playing) - I have my main character, and I have created an alternative character to play when my husband doesnt want to play. and it is not that i created this character for the purpose flirting either, so it just happened one night when i was on as my alt. character, and this other guy was on the game. I had no intention of being devious, I just wanted to play. - so he starts to help me, but is starting to hit on me. I have no idea if he knows its me or not, but i just felt it would be wrong to play into that , with him not knowing who i really was.
question is this, should I reveal myself to him, or just leave it alone. granted, I would go through with it if he was cool with it

AND I have a feeling that he did know it was me all along.
what would you do?

PIP-
Thank you- that is really what I was needing to know.. I am not very familiar with the actual role play part of these games, so hearing that the same social rules applies helps out a lot .

handle it like you would in real life.. many times MMORPG's are just an escape from the world we live in.. but the same rules apply to social behavior. You are married, you should (in my opinion) honor your marriage and let this guy know that you are married and don't roll that way.. let him know who you are...but if not then it sounds like you and your husband need to have a little chat.
Remember, MMORPG's have the same social laws we have here.. and your husband won't say "Oh, it's just a game" if he finds you guys flirting or him flirting with you or whatever.

well good thing this is you and not me...what i would do and what you should are totally different things..i do not believe in cheating in marriage but then again i'm no saint..but the real answer lies in what you will do...but i say think about all the possible consequences and if you feel confortable and can live with the consequences and if it is something you would like to explore by all means do so but if you feel the consequences and the guilt are to much to bear and everything that it carrys then you shouldnt hope i was of some help...

I would tell him asap. Better to clear the air instead of dragging this out longer.
