Well said, Harmony.
I am a bit astonished that more people don't react to this blatant violation of privacy. DreamMaster violated not only his wife's, but that of everyone she ever communicated with.
It is not unheard that I communicate with my friends (here and abroad, men and women) using IM services. And some of the stuff we talk about is clearly private. It may have to do with health issues, work, personal comments about others, whatever. I'd hate a nosy and jealous wife (or husband) reading my private statements just because they were looking for evidence of their spouse's infidility.
While I can understand that DreamMaster feels betrayed by his wife's cybersex, I personally see what he has done to her as the worst treachery of trust imaginable, and also a violation of the privacy of all his wife's contacts.
