Doesn't this sound like a movie trailer we all have seen? Maybe "You've Got Mail" meets "Sleepless in Seattle" meets that upcoming Stiller flick where he gets married and THEN meets his dream girl...
He is trapped in a loveless marriage. He turns to the Internet for harmless escapism. In chat rooms he meets the woman of his dreams. She is all sweetness and light, charming, caring, solicitous of his feelings, as far from being the woman he is married to as is humanly possible.
He is the same for her, for by some marvelous, glorious twist of fate, his Internet paramour is also trapped in a loveless marriage. Here in the chat rooms she has found the man of her dreams. He is all sweetness and light, caring, solicitous of her feelings, as far from the man he is married to as humanly possible.
Of course, at some point their online chatting gets out of hand. They decide to take that next adulterous step and meet live. They choose a symbol so each will know the other.
The fateful day arrives. They meet...she carrying that one flower so he will know who she is, he also carrying a single flower for identification.
Only to find out their online loves and their real life hates because they are already married. To each other. And each blames the other for being the one who was cheating.
I guess just one more proof, if you need it, that people online are never as good as they appear.

You know, I've read about a few stories like that! I think they deserve each other.
