So I've been trying to figure out how my ex-fiance had all of these gentleman "friends" spread out all over the country that she was carrying out online relationships with. Then in the past week heard from one person about how a friend of his lost his wife to a guy that she met playing one of those interactive game apps for your phone. Started off chatting while playing the game, progressed to sexting and then her flying across the country to hook up with the guy. Heard a similar story yesterday about a guy who was playing a game app, started chatting with a woman and then hooked up with her the next time he took a business trip to her state. Finally starting to put two & two together. My ex was hooked on playing multi-player games on her cell phone.

Anyone know how common this is?

Probably just as common as any other internet connections people make. Or do not make. I wouldn't read much into it. Most people who are playing games are probably just, you know, playing the game itself.

You can hook up playing Words with Friends, but it's unlikely. Although I've had random players try to chat on it, women, who seemed lonely. It's not the app, it's the individual, and the healthiness of the relationship. If the relationship is great, no need to worry, but if there has been lack of effort, it's time to make some.

Read my other posts on this forum. My ex is bipolar and was going into a hypersexual manic phase. Never saw it coming until it was too late and from what some professionals told me nothing I could have done to stop it. Her brain got wired to seek out as many partners as possible when her manic phase kicked in.

But was talking about these apps (Words with Friends was one of her favorites) with someone over the weekend and it finally dawned on me what happened. Glad I am out of the relationship, was more curious as to how prevalent this behavior is. Need to know what to look for in my next relationship.

If someone is going to start an affair through Words with Friends, they are going to start an affair no matter what.

Depends on the game. Certain (or most) games are more male dominated so a chick can be a novelty and thus people wanna talk to her.

This can be great for the ego if it is needed and she doesn't know better.

My aunt is doing this. Everyone in the family thinks she stopped talking to the guy, but still plays the game. I don't believe it for a second.
