My Ex RL partner left me for her SL partner 4 years ago, moving out of the country and even marrying him.
By "coincidence" in 2009 just before I was about to leave that game for good,I met an old SL friend from my CCS rpg time (under another avatar) and we connected again. She visitied me in RL 3 times during 2010 all the way from another continent and since fall 2011 we are happily married and completely out of the game. We both don't have any interest anymore in the game because we are so happy in RL, SL is no longer necessary.
