How is an online affair different?

Kelly, IMO the only difference between an EA and a PA is that they aren't bumping bodies yet.

They are equally huge betrayals in a marriage.

Essentially the spouse having the EA/PA is saying "I'm not getting some need met in my M" and it's easier for me to go get that need met outside of the M rather than working out what is missing in the M with the other spouse.

And that's the real kick in the guts for the LBS, that the WAS isn't prepared to do what it takes within the M.

It's really a copout and a lazy option in my opinion.
