Woman dumps man for his online alter ego
Perhaps I'm being overly harsh here, but this does seem a tad melodramatic....
Taipei - A Taiwan man who used a different identity through the Internet to double-date his girlfriend, has committed suicide after the girl fell for his email-based alter ego, a Taiwan newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Huang Tzu-heng, 20, a shop clerk in Taipei County, began dating his high school class mate Hsiao Lan in the Spring, the Apple Daily reported.
Hoping to find out if Hsiao Lan really loved him, Huang dated Hsiao Lan on the Internet, posing as "Mr J" while continuing to date her in real life.
As Hsiao Lao did not tell Huang she was dating Mr J on the Internet, Huang became frustrated because he believed lovers should share all their secrets, the report stated.
Then one day Hsiao Lan told Huang that she had fallen in love with "Mr J" and wanted to break up with Huang.
Yep, it's got to be tough when your competition is...yourself?!? Of course, no one will be able to say that you don't know your enemy, eh??
