Divorce and Facebook

I wonder who gets to keep the facebook friends. :)
 
that is why my wife and I are facebook friends...no secrets

a colleague of mine told me a while back his wife didn't want to accept him as a friend (and told him so in person)...six months later and they were divorced
 
It's also an interesting echo of what many businesses have found, namely that the internet makes it much easier for customers to find alternative suppliers. It used to be that when a person wanted to buy something, he or she would probably just go to the nearest vendor, or perhaps would check out advertising in the local paper in an effort to find a good price. Today, however, the internet has made finding a new, cheaper supplier very simple. In business, this is a good thing, since it promotes efficiency and competition. Unfortunately, it's not quite such good news for personal relationships.

interesting comparison.
it could be argued that some people go all out to win a spouse and then do very little to add value to the relationship thereafter (or behave destructively).
does this mean that you as the partner then have to stick with the "product" no matter what?
sometimes (not always) "i'll love you no matter what" is an invitation to abuse...
just a thought.

a buddy of mine's wife hooked up with some dude from ct on fb.
he got divorced a few months later.
problem is i never really saw them as being very compatible in the first place.
she was a farm girl who wanted to live with her family.
he was a city boy who wanted to travel and see the world.
they are much happier now. in some ways it's good that it happened - before they had kids.

i can see the logic fails from more conservative communities when they read these stats and try to control people's behaviour.
as always, censorship is a way of treating people like kids (assuming they can't take responsibility for the consequences of their own decisions or make good choices).

Not adding a spouse is just stupid, who would do that?

A friend of mine asked me last week what to do if his wife writes on someone elses wall and the removes it off her page?

Yes, I've heard of that happening a few times already.

We know eachother's passwords even & I'm the one that logs on the least.

Last time I logged on was around xmas time.

exactly!

The only times we post on each other's FB pages are our birthdays & then it's more just a formality to show others we remember each others Bdays. & occasionally a silly joke or something.

Talking in person & face-to-face is ALWAYS best.

You can be friends on facebook, but you can still limit/ customize what what each of your friends see on your profile...including your spouse.

By the sound of it though you guys have an open honest relationship though.
 
Wth are you guys doing on fb that you'd want to hide from your spouse anyway?

I'm sure FB has a lot to say FOR it, but it also has a lot to say against it, just like alcohol. I don't personally know of any personal relationships that went sour as a result of alcohol over the last 18 months or so, but quite a few that suffered as a result of FB

He asked if I can invite the guy on Facebook and go through the wall posts. Do I did. she's always commenting on his status, then removing it of the feed on her wall.
I think I will let him look for himself.
 
she won't like it, but maybe then they can sort their problems out & move on be it together or...

Don't forget all that stupid advertising thats adding up and data mining of personal information for $$$ :mad:
 
Why do people always blame the technology when it's used for doing bad things? If your a cheating bastard you'll always be a cheating bastard.

We are not blaming technology, it just shows up morons better to a wider audience. ;)
