For me the honeymoon was all about our alone time, so special. I think other couples may have different ideas of what a honeymoon is for, so the big question would be WHY call the friend or family members while on a honeymoon? If this is a routine thing and the person just wanted to keep in touch or something critical I could understand the calls, but if it was to avoid their new spouse or escape in any way I think I would want to address it with them to see if we could refocus and get on the same page and enjoy one another versus turn to other people outside the marriage.

Calling an online "friend" during your honeymoon is very ODD.

But I've heard of people calling family and close friends while on their honeymoon lots of time. My son and his wife went to Europe on their honeymoon and called us to tell us they arrived safely and were having a great time. It was very thoughtful of them.

Calling family members or friends on a honeymoon, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. But calling an online friend you have never met or even told your new spouse about is very deceitful and this marriage in for a rocky road.

I called my girlfriend when I was on mine..We went to Cancun for our honeymoon for 2 weeks..she was there too, with a bunch of my other girlfriends.

Our trips overlapped ..we got together only a couple of times before they left. I think you're talking about something totally different though.

This online "friend" is more than just a "friend", for someone to place a call to during of all times, a honeymoon..For however long a honeymoon lasts..most "friends" can wait to talk to them when they get home, of course, unless they are more than just "online friends".

Doesn't sound like whomever placed this call is very sincere in his/hers intentions to love, honor and cherish....They are not being very honest with the other person..and certainly not with themselves..That's very sad actually..when you think about it.

Not sure which person is worse off in the long run..the person who did the calling..or the other person who is being betrayed..both have a lot to learn about each other.

I think it's weird. He should be focusing on his honeymoon and bride!
