i can totally understand this one, i myself am newly married of 2 months and i was put onto this game by a friend not knowing what i was in for i accepted sl and i 2 weeks i was aimlessly dancing with a hot half cat half woman whom i somehow became seduced by i pulled the plug yesterday i almost became as attached to my sl friend than my real life partner and it is extremely dangerous.I may have actually ended up hurting others feelings as well connections made in this game can be horribly strong as everything is based on beauty and sex appeal the way i see it if you arent ashamed to say you masturbate to a sim then its a good game for ya but if you feel this is not something healthy for a human whom needs a real functional realasonship then you must get away before damage is done.The thing that helped me was to talk to my sl friend and actually recieve a photo and see what their rl was about only then was the magical bubble broken and i was free, and after all this is still find myself thinking of a character in a game and missing it when it really wasnt real to begin with.

I can personally attest to the power of SL and the reality of the relationships formed there. So much so that when my partner left me (for very good reasons, even) I went into a terrible depression and that, combined with RL pressures and a lack of ability to properly deal with it all led to me attempting to take my own life a few weeks ago. I overdosed on antidepressants and bought myself a week’s stay in intensive care; most of that I don’t remember as I was in a coma. I survived, only to realize- doh- if I’m dead I have NO chance of patching things up with my partner, who I still love with all my heart and dream of making a Real Life with one day.

For some, SL is a game and nothing more; for others like me, however, it is an extension of our Real Life selves and I beg you please PLEASE be careful with other people’s hearts- and your own.

After watching SL degrade to the point where the majority of newer SLers seem to be 4chan rejects now who can’t spell, type or punctuate. I just don’t see the allure to SL anymore, SL has gone from an online democracy to a micromanaged dictatorship rife with pornography and sexual animations. I’ve sold my land, canned my premium accounts and essentially left, what keeps the rest of you people stuck to a virtual world? I can’t see what keeps people so addicted now, is it the porn or cheating on your spouse maybe? SL isn’t what it used to be 5 years ago.

Yes I am addicted so is my gf, instead of working on our couple problem, what basically has got us trapped in that infernal cycle, we spend so much time online.
She is even partenered with someone else as I was too before I slipped into rl feeling and had to stop seeing her in world.

ITS only a GAME and NOT a way of Living.

WOW… What an eye opener.. Really, friends,
somebody (maybe Chino) should have a non-profit
Blog dedicated to SLA Secondlife Annon.Whew, got
that out. No, really I have sex in world, not
that gratifing, and yes it takes away from RL all
togather. I guess people who live in fantasy never
really get the most of what their life could be.
It is sad to me. I want to change because my life
sucks right now. But, because I can always escape
to SL, where Im O.K., things might get worse for me
in RL.
Quite frankly, Im scared.

[...] to a point that as today marks my first year in-world, it is also a day wherein I can say that my addiction to Second Life is gone. (I still appreciate the money I earn from it though. [...]
