About two million Americans met their spouses online.
Today the Wall St Journal in Mism@tched.com (subscribers only) examines how dating sites are scrambling now that the first wave of divorces are starting.
False claims on online dating profiles may be introduced in court years later. Anecdotal evidence indicates that engagements are shorter as people rush into marriage sooner and overlook some of the potential downsides.
Best quote.
Some even say they would date online again. Kelly Fleshman, 35, a Web developer from suburban Baltimore, says she doesn't blame the medium for the problems in her marriage. "We got along better than anyone I have ever gotten along with in my life," she says. They ended the marriage last year, and Ms. Fleshman says she's relieved the love notes that started their relationship are nowhere to be found: "I don't have those emails -- that was, like, three or four computers ago."
How much of the record of our lives is lost because it was "like, three or four computers ago."
