FACEBOOK IS RUINING MARRIAGES; MAYBE IT’S TIME TO GET A LIFE




It’s yet again another time where I need to emphasize on how people should get a life outside Facebook, it’s just a tool for you to connect with friends, share some pictures and some updates, and it’s definitely not something to be taken too seriously. There were cases of people killing their spouse because they changed their status to single and now, Facebook has been blamed for ruining marriages.
Why is that? Because the other half usually gets jealous that their husband/wife has recently gotten in touch with their exes. Of course if images of you and your ex having a rather intimate time together, hugging each other or having a romantic dinner together appears on Facebook, you will get into trouble, and if your other half has access to your account, don’t even think that you could ever get away with things like sending a sexy woman a message trying to get her number.
But just how serious is that matter? While we can’t be sure of statistics in Malaysia, it’s been found that 80% of U.S divorce lawyers report that social media evidence is now cited in divorce cases. According to a survey of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, one in every five marriages ends because of Facebook. What a sadistic statistic, maybe staying off Facebook once in a while isn’t such a bad idea after all.
