by Dr. Al Cooper and Dr. Coralie Scherer
This is an increasingly common question--what are the boundaries of fidelity in today's world of cybersex, phone sex, etc.?
Since you didn't send a copy of your vows we can't make an informed judgment about your situation. A little humor--but seriously, only you and he can decide on what fidelity means to you, what your contract is, and what you both want in your marriage. Have a long, calm, dialogue and if you get stuck you may need to find a good psychologist to help you hammer out a solution that fits for you both.
