Online Romance Leads To Divorce

That’s not all that uncommon, really. But what is uncommon is when the people that were having the online romance decided to meet in person, only to find out they were already husband and wife.

Separated for several months, boredom and chance briefly re-united Bakr Melhem and his wife Sanaa in an Internet chat room, the official Petra news agency said.

Bakr, who passed himself off as Adnan, fell head over heels for Sanaa, who signed off as Jamila (beautiful) and described herself as a cultured, unmarried woman — a devout Muslim whose hobby was reading, Petra said.

Whoops. As you can imagine, it just get uglier from there.

That’s very damned creepy. They must not have talked much in real life.

Isn’t there a 70’s song about something like this?
