Yes to Leed's advice. I was single and with a married man who then quit communicating with me. Fortunately I started a new job which "distracted" me some and later, met my now-husband.

It seems to me that long-distance/Internet affairs are a result of one's "real" life not being as fulfilling as one would want. I would take on a new real-world task and try to stay off the Internet altogether more than usual. I think there is a certain amount of technology addiction going on where have-computer-must-check-email rules?
