So I have this friend We both play avakin life its an online game where you decorate houses like sims but live. any way I got her started playing to hang out about a month into playing she started talking to guys on there which I don't do. she gets moody and weird when they break up then she picks up another. granted she is married to my husband twin brother and she says she isn't always happy I get that. but she is self centered at times and a little drama heavy. most of the time she listens to me and stops this online cheating for a while I told her its wrong. she full on has cybersexytime with them and lately she has been on kik with them. I told her today its wrong and its cheating and to stop cause I feel bad for her husband and its bad for her moods too she gets crazy and rants during these break up episodes.. she basically said I don't want to hear it. she says its harmless but I don't feel like it is .. what do I do? why is this happening? its wierd

I get why she does it ( in so far as the mysteriousness and the excitement BUT she needs to realise that this will eventually lead to either Real life scenarios (even if just meeting with people from in game) OR She will ruin her real life some other way.

Having a virtual life is great but its about having a line and not going over it because you can lose sight of whats reality ( i should know ) :D

.. But unfortunately there is not much you can do to help your friend, she must see it for herself .. to be fair if i was you i would be mentioning it to DH and see what he says as i would tell my sibling, i know it may turn her world upside down but it may also be what she needs to get back to reality.

She's playing with fire. All it will take is for her to connect with a cheeky chappy that doesn't give a fuck about anybody else's life, and her life will be in ruins. Ask my stbxw how I know.

She sounds very unhappy and is using this online game as an escape and distraction. If she was my friend I'd encourage her to cut down on her online activities and try to explore why she needs this fake drama and excitement. Also tell your husband. It's up to him if he wants to tell his brother. Cyber cheating is still cheating.

She has been married 5 times? Virtually? And has virtual breakups? And virtual sex? And she's your SIL basically? Is this right?

I have a new perspective on life.

right I tried to talk to her about cutting back she told me I don't want to hear it. I told my husband he said we shouldn't get in there business so I don't know I feel crappy when I see her do it. so I told her im not coming over for a while and give her time to figure things out.... so now she is super pissed but whatever I guess

Not much you can do because she won't listen to you. It sounds like she needs a therapist.
