We’ve all seen facebook drama unfold on someones wall and even the extreme a chilling article about a young teen who committed suicide after being abused on the internet.
What about when it comes to marriage? Most of us don’t view facebook as being the source of drama for married people, we view it as a way for them to share baby pictures with college friends and reunite with people from the past
According to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers over 66% of divorces have been linked to Facebook. They say that while many of these affairs are not premeditated, they are still happening and the information is put on the Internet for everyone to see.
Maybe it’s time for for people to better learn their privacy settings.
I think Facebook causes problem for all relationships. I believe that the article is true in saying that people go on Facebook to reconnect with former friends and soon fall in love with them because they have a lot of contact with them. Also I think it is because married people have known each other for a lot of years, so the passion of the relationship wore off. If they meet a old lover on Facebook, they might accidentally fall in love from the lack of passion in their current relationship with their spouses. Another reason would be paranoia, where one of the couple would constantly bicker with the other about the people that leave comments on their wall. This create distrust in the relationship and causing it more likely to fail.
I don’t think privacy is an issue in this case. It should be the person would is looking up the information about an other and the temptation to start an affair. Most affairs started out as friends, where they already have full access to the information on Facebook.
Facebook will always be a problem for those in relationships or married because it is when jealousy comes into play and also trust issues. I think that those in relationships just need to be more smarter and more responsible of their actions on FB considering that your husband or wife can easily see what you are posting.
If you see your significant other consistently posting on another person wall or status all the time, it is going to have you doubting that person which leads to trust issues. Those who are in relationships or married just need to adjust their privacy settings so possible issues on facebook can be avoided. If you honestly think facebook will eventually lead to problems in the relationship, it is best to just delete your FB profile so you won’t possibly ruin a long relationship because of some nonsense on Facebook.
