You can bet he didn't count on this. A British group that studies married couples found the Web is increasingly listed as a contributor in the demise of relationships. According to the firm, one out of every 10 couples polled lists Internet obsession as a factor in overall unhappiness. Among the online applications most commonly driving a wedge into marital bliss were Web pornography, sex-related chat rooms and a service that helps people get back in contact with old classmates -- often former admirers.
