The best advice I ever got online -- which sounds like an oxymoronic thing, but wasn't -- was tell your wife what you are doing online. This is back in the days of cyberchat and chat rooms. I had made clear to all my online encounters that it was fantasy only and going nowhere beyond fantasy; the point was my wife was the one who needed to hear that, and have it out in the open. So I did. She was taken back a bit, but then accepted it. It never got blown out of proportion by being secretive, or behind her back. Actually, we -- together -- later met with five of the women I had been chatting with, and she liked four of them. The fifth she felt threatened by, and probably rightfully so as she later divorced her husband for a man she met online. But she rightfully saw the threat coming from her, not betrayal by me.
