   Maybe they had been watching In the Good Old Summertime, which has a slightly related plot.

   I was thinking about this and its really not THAT far-fetched.
   
   I mean, you have 2 people who got married and if it wasn't an arranged marriage and the marriage did work for a while then its logical that 1) they have a lot in common and 2) they have a lot to offer that the OTHER person is searching for and 3) the qualities they offer to their mates may not be apparent in day to day life (either because of boredom, stressful relations etc...). So it makes sense that they WOULD stumble upon each other on a dating site (especially since many of these allow you to qualify on things you are looking for).
   
   However, I can see that it wouldn't have a happy ending as this confirms that BOTH mates are untrustworthy (however if they were separated to begin with...it might just show them they have a shot at working things out).

   If you like Piña Coladas...

   I once was stuck on hold someplace where they played that horrible Piña Colada song (no thank you, if you know who played it or wrote it or whatever I don't want to know) and finally in frustration I listened to the words and now I know that this article describes exactly the situation of that song...except the ending is different.
   And thank you Mike, now that *&^%% song is stuck in my head again.

   Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
   
   (Rupert Holmes)
   
   I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
   Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
   So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
   And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:
   
   "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
   If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
   If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
   I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."
   
   I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
   But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
   So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
   And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.
   
   "Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
   I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
   I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
   At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."
   
   So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
   I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
   It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
   And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..
   
   "That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
   And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
   If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
   You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."
   
   "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
   If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
   If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
   You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

   What a douche bag.
   
   I mean, everyone has a right to happiness… but when you work this hard at preventing it…. you deserve your own misery.
   
   This guy should have been DELIGHTED when he realized that he had fallen in love with his wife… What a looser. He sucks at life.

   Did they only talk about the weather?

   Seems very unrealistic. If you converse with someone for three months, even online, you are both going to talk about yourself. If not, there isn't much to the 'relationship'. How many times would you need to read something about your online pal and think "just like my spouse" before a lightbulb went off?

   Maybe whatever they said to each other was all lies.
