So you have two people who meet, say on CS. They spend a lot of time talking to each other and become comfortable with each other; perhaps even an online item. Then one becomes infatuated with the other. Then the object of one person's affection decides to also talk to/flirt with other people online and the one with the crush gets jealous and starts to terrorize the talker/flirter, stabs him/her in the back, stalks online, etc. to the point where the latter ultimately gives up on CS or gets banned or whatever the case may be.

Is it relevant whether this "online" couple met or not? Is it relevant whether they agreed to break up or not? Is such behavior out of jealousy ever justified?

I am under the impression that jealousy on dating sites and revenge based on hurt feelings happens quite often.

What do you think?

Ok...If the two decided to be an item, yes, there is a right to be jealous...HOWEVER, noone has a right to stalk, terrorize , or anything as extreme as that...I don't care if they were married. Nothing gives anyone a right to make another feel as if they are property, or feel intimidated.

i don't think it is relevant whether they met or not...nor if they agreeded to break...

i think the jealousy is a trait of personality and doesn't depend much on the real situation (where for "real" we intend "virtual" here as we are talking about the online situation... wink )

i also think that the features like the fact that you can see if your message has been opened or not or if the person is actually online can, somewhat, instigate a jealousy or revenge feelings...

I dunno, I think a little jealousy is actually healthy in a relationship. I'd be a bit insulted if whoever I was with, wasn't a little jealous if I was talking to another woman.

I must say that I agree with the comments saying that it is not acceptable in a public forum, be that bickering or other methods of "getting even."

At the same time, I also agree that if one cares for another person (admitting that that does sound slightly surreal in an online context), a bit of jealousy is probably normal. Still, it has to be kept in check (private). I am reluctant to go so far as to say that it is abnormal when jealousy takes on the form of stalking and such or becomes obsessive, but it certainly is a sign of an unhealthy state of mind.

No matter how hurt you are by talking,flirting,feeling,etc. with the person,you met on a dating site,back stabbing,stalking,been abusive,etc,is a private matter between two people,and dirty linen must not come up, publicly on a dating site.-

oh it happens and it happens and i dont think it 'doesnt count' as to ones character because it is 'only online'

why would the standards of behavior be any different?

supposedly we all pride ourselves on showing exactly who we are
so many love to say 'i am me period'

well those me's have made fake profiles to tempt another's mate

they have received info within a trusted relationship and then bent it and spoon fed it to someone else and stood back while the someone else went into a frenzy for many months (because of false information) and stalked and terrorized the first person-
who only shared with a supposed friend

im sorry but online or not
whether a couple has met or not

people that will have these behaviors over something 'unreal' like an online relationship?

rather frightening to imagine their responses in 'the real world'



im sorry but wrong is wrong and crazy is crazy- regardless of the framework its indunno

I have had people who have contacted me get mad because I do not stop posting on the forums. But you see I do not understand nor do I want to understand what the big deal is. Now jealousie in my life has no place. If I cannot trust you we aren't in a relationship. And same goes if you do not trust me. But I do realize there are alot of people on here who have had bad experiances in relationships. For that I am truthfully sorry you have had those bad experiances. But I am not looking to take anyone hostage or be held hostage. Can't we just all get a long dunno sigh blues

thumbs up thumbs up

I see it all to often, but it happens regularly and all too often. I reckon all arguments should be kept between the parties concerned in private but occasionally it an boil over to the forums.

This happens but as long as the parties do not prolong the argument, understandable and can be ignored as long as they get the argument back in private ASAP

As always JMO grin cheers

unfortunately there are many players online just playing with peoples emotions and along with that are probably a lot of psycos who have had enough of getting "played" and possibly they "snapped" ?? just my opinion but im guessing the answer to your question is yes this is probably happening a lot online.

Jealousy and revenge have no place in any healthy relationship, whether real or through an online friendship/budding relationship. I don't care whether the two people have met or not, jealousy in any form can be destructive and is a useless emotion.

If someone has been talking w/ me awhile and grows interested in someone else and I have never met that other person, why would I be jealous or angry?? You can't make someone be with you in any way if they don't want to be with you (reality wise or in an online capacity either)..plain and simple.

If someone expects me to be jealous, so sorry to disappoint, but not going to happen....people just need to get a grip and grow up, show maturity and stop being so easily upset..you should never sweat the small stuff in life you can't control.

I dont know how you can get jealous of a photograph, cus basically that's all you have of someone online not the real person, flirting by words written in a message are not really spoken from the persons mouth, so any one who becomes jealous of a so called online partner has obvious mental issues......thumbs up thumbs up

I think that relationships of every kind that are born and/or nurtured from a dating sites forum are subject to extreme pressures of paranoia because of the very nature of the site.
