You know, the FB. Home of salacious talk with imaginary friends. Or about the related PMs, IMs, emails, etc.
And, per the rules for these sorts of polls, I'll go first. Not Bob's Answer is No. I wrestle with this, because I don't think that anything I do or say on the FB (or via IM or email) rises to the level of being in the same zip code as Conduct Contrary To Monogomous Wedded Bliss, as measured by objective standards.
But (and this is a-bigger-than-J. Lo's "but"), my wife wouldn't like it. None of it. Men and women, chatting on the computer? Egad. Talking about the things that are discussed here? (See eg the kama sutra thread) Yoikes.
So I rationalize that it's like a bad habit that one doesn't share -- like the secret cigarettes or shots of heroin that some spouses hide from the other. Yeah yeah yeah, I know -- it's self-justifying rationalization.

Mrs. Wonk not only knows about it, but she has occassionally chatted with some of my imaginary friends. The trade-off is that I don't get on her case about all the message boards she is involved with.
I don't tell her about all the FBers I've banged though. that would be declasse
