What can I do to stop my spouse's cyber affair?

You have busted your spouse and found out that they're having an online affair. You might have read an email or happened into the room and saw your spouse on a certain site, or maybe it's even crossed over and you're unsure as to whether your partner is physically cheating on you. Unfortunately, you're going to have to confront the situation and what you're probably going to get back is denial - absolute denial - because nobody wants to get caught having an affair and nobody wants to have their freedom impinged on. When you confront your partner about their online usage, the best thing to do is to come from love. Go, "I love you. I miss you. I'm hurting. This is what I believe. This is what I know and this is what I need." No matter what your partner says, because they're probably not going to go along with this, you have to persevere. They're going to try to turn it on you. They're going to try to say, "No. It's your fault. You're suspicious." When you know they're having an online affair, insist: "I love you. I want our relationship to work. This has got to stop. This is what I need."
