Cyber cheats married... to each other
A married couple are divorcing after they chatted each other up on the Internet using fake names.
Sana Klaric and husband Adnan poured their hearts out to each other over their marriage troubles.
Using the names 'Sweetie' and 'Prince of Joy' in a online chatroom, the pair thought they had found a soulmate with whom to spend the rest of their lives.
It should have turned out like a real-life version of the 1979 Rupert Holmes song, Escape, where a couple meet through advert by someone 'who likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain'.
But, unlike in the song, there was no happy ending after they turned up for a date and realised their mistake. Now the pair, from Zenica, Central Bosnia, are divorcing after accusing each other of being unfaithful.
Sana, 27, said: 'I was suddenly in love. It was amazing, we seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriages. How right that turned out to be.'
But when it dawned on her what had happened, she said: 'I felt so betrayed.'
Adnan, 32, said: 'I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years.'

“Do you like piña coladas?”
LMAO!!
I'm more of a steak and whisky guy, actually :-)
These guys are either the most promising candidates for marriage counseling or the least. (I suppose they are also the most vulnerable to influence by the wrong counselor.)
But, good grief! Couldn’t they just call it even and go from there? They’ve proven - twice - that they can be and seem to want to be ideal mate for the other. What’s it take for the twits to be happy, anyway?
Or is it that they just want “new”?
The human heart is such a tempestuous place......
One factor could be that there may not be very many "married but looking" chatrooms in Bosnia, and so two people who have some superficial personality attractions are going to be funneled into a limited-size arena at the outset, and so the two-dimensional landscape of chatrooms allows them to see the sorts of qualities that may have attracted them to begin with.
Out in the real world, however, their reality was:
Adnan, 32, said: 'I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years.'
sounds like a publicity stunt to me...
No, but I’m not into yoga.

Excellent observation. Probably the cause of 85% of divorces.
There was an old Marquis de Sade story along these lines...I don’t recall the title...
