A SURPRISE ENDING FOR A COUPLE WHO MET ON-LINE

A couple from Zenica, Central Bosnia, are divorcing after accusing each other of being unfaithful following an online affair. “They met online, where he called himself “Prince of Joy,” and she called herself “Sweetie.” Their real names were Sana and Adnan. “The pair [each] thought they had found a soul mate with whom to spend the rest of their lives.” [They] poured their hearts out to each other over their marriage troubles. . . . Sana, 27, said: “I was suddenly in love. It was amazing, we seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriages. How right that turned out to be.” Finally they decided to meet in person, and they discovered that they were married to each other: When it dawned on her what had happened, she said: “I felt so betrayed.”

Adnan, 32, said: “I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years.”
