Virtual love

When did this begin to go wrong?
Life throws us many issues, but the most challenging has to be finding true love . You meet  the man of your dreams, and to your utter astonishment, he seems to love you .
You get married  and life seems perfect for a while You share your life with him, your body, your very soul becomes his “ other half ”
You become parents, and for a while you loose each other in the magical, wonderful, utter chaos of being  responsible for the well being and safety of these precious little creatures that your love has created . Gradually, subtly, a distance between you forms, almost unnoticeable cracks begin to appear.... He goes on trips alone, where once he would have included you . He spends more time on the PC, late at night, leaving you alone in bed, a virtual, unattainable partner more alluring to him than you... The rejection, the hurt that tear  your feelings to shreds,  you try to hide.....
You just get through the days, hoping it’s just a phase, telling yourself in the mirror, through wet lashed eyes “don’t make a big deal of this . Don’t  over react  .. he would never really touch these women, he loves me ” but then, you began to work late to catch some elusive deadline, catch traffic, so many obscure excuses form .... You have to face the truth . This problem is no longer “ virtual ”.
