Facebook Kills… Relationships. Did It Kill Yours?
When relationships go south, everyone is looking for someone else to be at fault. Who knew that various forms of social media would be blamed for break-ups and divorces?
Apparently, a recent study has shown that Facebook is being sited in 1 in 5 divorces.

Social networking sites, such as Facebook, are a great way for people to keep in touch and reconnect with others. Sometimes these “others” are ex’s, flirtatious coworkers, or easy hook ups. Facebook contains all sorts of incriminating evidence when it comes to relationships and cheating.
This morning, Kevin & Bean had listeners call and weigh in on this topic.
One listener, Sonya, mentioned that her husband left his Facebook open and she discovered that he had another woman on the side who was pregnant with twins! There were pictures of him and this other woman all over his page! She had no suspicions of cheating, so this was a shocker to her! Her ex is now divorcing the “other woman.”
***
Another listener emailed the show to tell about a friend who had different lists set up on Facebook to allow access to only certain information to certain people in order to separate the husband from boyfriends! Shady people, I tell ya!
Janet, had been dating a guy for a year and a half before getting a call from her boyfriend’s wife saying to back off!
Billy had been married 16 years. He was logging his wife out of her Facebook page when he noticed that her interests had been changed to match the interest of a guy that she had met on Facebook that lived in a completely different state! Billy set up a fake email account with the name of this stranger, emailed his wife, and his wife talked as though she’d run away with this guy. Needless to say, that marriage ended.
Lastly, Ashley called saying that her boyfriend deleted her off of Facebook just last night, and covered it up by saying that someone wrote something on his wall that would make her jealous. When the truth came out, Ashley found out out that he’d been cheating on her for a while now.
What did we learn from all this? COVER YOUR TRACKS, PEOPLE! Err… I mean… keep it in your pants! Got a similar story? Comment and let us know!

After 11yrs of marriage, my wife started to use facebook. At first she said to reconnect with friends and family. But after a few months she said she was unhappy and wanted a divorce. 1 year later we are seperated and she just got back from an all expense paid trip to 2ngland see the other guy. Facebook only helps people find what they are looking for. If you want to find someone to cheat with there are plenty of them out there. Best revenge…I now have an awesome girlfriend and she’s miserable trying to deal with what she did to our 3 kids. One day they will learn the truth of what she did!!!!!!!

Been married for 21 yrs., she was able to find her ex on FB, gave her an Iphone on her Bday as surprise gift, turned it on for her then a series of love messages was coming in as a text mssg from FB. Down ward spiral from then on. I thought I married the most beautiful woman ever, now she is the ugliest, lying ass cheat, scumbag in the world, I’m so allergic to her even by just looking at her. Now she’s paying the price. As C. Sheen would say “winning”!

No cheating for us as far as I know. Instead, it’s the FB app that is causing problems. Because of the ease of access on an iphone my wife spends more time on that than time with me or our three year old daughter. It’s the first thing she sees in the morning and last thing she sees at night.
