In a recent post, Ovolina, a blogger who writes about being a military wife and the mother of five, admits to taking what began as an innocent online business friendship to a new and dangerous level.

Here's an excerpt from the blog post, in which Ovolina admits her "affair" - as she calls it - to her readers:

"I didn't set out to flirt with him, but when I talked to this person I felt special and different, no longer stuck in the mundane tasks that made up my days. His infatuation filled my loneliness. I knew that our conversations weren't entirely appropriate, when I thought that if my husband read them, or looked over my shoulders I'd have felt uncomfortable. My friend and I ended our 'friendship' right where it began - in a chat online."

She also came clean with her husband who told her, "no harm done, it's good you told me, don't do it again." 

I give Ovolina major props for writing so honestly about something that could easily happen to any of us as we explore the vast corners of cyberspace. Telling her husband also speaks volumes to their relationship and their marriage. 

Have you ever had something you would qualify as an online affair? Sometimes hindsight is 20/20.
