When you met someone on the Internet you are not seeing them so you cannot tell something as simple if the person is wearing a wedding ring.

Cheating was not created by the Internet it was just made easier by the Internet. The amount of information and people available has changed completely because of the Internet. With the ability to cheat on your spouse at your finger tips it is more alluring when everything it not perfect.
