Is it cheating if you are married and you role play with someone else on ESO other than your spouse?
Where do you draw the line?

Here's the TEA.........

I have been playing ESO for about 2 years with him when he hit me up in a guild......long story short things grew into like what I would say is kinda serious. We have been talking on the phone and skyped and was supposed to meet at PAX.......

We both role play in this game. I didn't know this person was married or had a child until......

1 day I heard a baby crying in the background and I called him out on it. He came clean and said he was married and has a baby. He has been married for 2 years and he confessed to me that he is into males and felt sorry for his wife and felt guilted into marrying.

I aint no homewrecker but what should I do?

I am conflicted because I feel sorry for him.

He is older than myself and he confessed that he saw my picture in the thread "what do you look like in real life" and hit me up.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN THIS SITUATION?!?!?!

    I don't think this is the right place to ask for advice for your matter. He's probably only after your gold anyway.

    Well...if you're married to someone you vowed to forsake all others. Consider other ppls feelings as well as what's right before you do something regretful. If you're not married but he is you need to wait until he isn't before you did anything else. I'd make that perfectly clear...but I don't believe in divorce. Best of luck

    I disagree. Me and my partner met on a previous MMO and 2 years later we're playing ESO while skyping and couldn't be happier. Game and real life can mix to some extent :)

    I'd get as far as possible from that person. There are way too many red flags, and you know it!

    While this is a game and everyone is role playing (which I think is generally fine regardless of ones IRL situation), this:
    1 day I heard a baby crying in the background and I called him out on it. He came clean and said he was married and has a baby. He has been married for 2 years and he confessed to me that he is into males and felt sorry for his wife and felt guilted into marrying.

    ...

    He is older than myself and he confessed that he saw my picture in the thread "what do you look like in real life" and hit me up.

    ... is not okay. The person you are playing with has personal identity issues in their real life and is letting that bleed into the game. They sought you out specifically because of information about you in the real world and is dragging you into the complicated nest of problems they have at home. If I were you I would cut this relationship off, it started under toxic pretenses and is not likely to get better with time.

    Just ask yourself this: Do you want to suffer the wrath of his wife, the mother to their child, who will no longer have her family that she birthed a child into when she finds out? It won't end well, and there are no soul gems in real life to get resurrected with or health potions fix you.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
