A British couple divorced after a woman discovered that her husband's Second Life avatar was having an "affair" with another virtual figure. Amy Taylor hired an online private detective to track her husband David Pollard's activities in the virtual world, and discovered that he was cheating, though Pollard insists the affair never carried over into the real world. Taylor, who married Pollard in 2003, is now with a new guy she met online while playing World of Warcraft. Ah, sweet geek love. The story of the couple's divorce comes just weeks after a Japanese woman was arrested for murdering her husband's online digital persona.

Tell us: Is cheating in the virtual world really cheating?
