20% of Divorces Caused By Facebook
Monday, March 8th, 2010

In a blatant bit of stolen news, I was reading my latest issue of geeky magazine WIRED (it’s also covers it here too) and it said that in a recent study of 5000 divorce papers around 20% of them cite Facebook as a factor of the divorce. How insane is that? That’s 1 in 5…
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess it has something to do with people talking to their exs and being found out by a friend who then tells their friend what is going on or it’s because a girlfriend or boyfriend has been snooping around their significant others page, which is never good as it obviously shows that they don’t trust their spouse and that being found out is never good. Especially when they’re innocent.
Do people really care about Facebook that much? It was originally a fun place to find and keep in contact with your friends and family and now it’s a tool to keep tabs on people anonymously.
I recommend that if anyone reading this has contemplated deleting their Facebook page DO IT NOW! Send a message to all the people you want to keep in contact with to give them your email address and delete that page! You will feel cleansed and can confidently say “I don’t have a Facebook page so don’t try and add me!”
