Facebook is Causing Divorce

Let’s be honest, people of 2010. Facebook is good for like, 3 things. Connecting with old friends, admiring/hating on people via their photo albums, and keeping an eye on your exes. Although we may pretend to love Facebook as a social networking tool, in general, it’s good for one thing — checkin’ out other peeps.

Perhaps an acquaintance from a party friends you, and you realize they’re actually way cuter than you remember. Or an ex drops you a message and you notice WOW, they’ve gotten quite a bit cuter these days.

Either way, being in a relationship often doesn’t stop our flirting. The only difference between flirting at a bar versus flirting online is that often your transgressions are logged and saved and can be brought up later. Which is why it’s no surprise that Facebook infidelity has been listed in 1 in 5 divorce proceedings as evidence of an affair or just over-the-line flirting.

From sexual chats, to inappropriate private messages to one woman even claiming she found out her husband was divorcing her via Facebook, it seems that Facebook is the new culprit behind American divorce cases.

What to do? If you’re married, stop looking for trouble. If you’re dating, log out of your account! And if you’re single — stay that way; this world is getting too hard to be married in.
