Facebook, Grounds for Divorce?
Social networking supremo Facebook is under fire this week for increasing the divorce rate all over the world. “I was really surprised to see 20 per cent of all the petitions containing references to Facebook.” Stated Mark Keenan, MD of Divorce Online. I’m assuming the temptation to cheat due to meeting old flames or an even new and possibly more interesting person is rife in the social networking community. Personally I use it to keep in touch with friends not cruise for a partner.
350 million people use Facebook so I guess the odds of re-kindling old ties are quite strong. Does this suggest an increase in boredom? Why are these people not injecting some extra pizazz into their current relationships? Surely if you’re prepared to marry your partner you must see good qualities in them? So is it boredom or just plain laziness? All good question sadly with no answers.
“The most common reason seemed to be people having inappropriate sexual chats with people they were not supposed to.” Mark Keenan Added. So does this mean it’s the ‘thrill of the chase’ feeling? It’s very puzzling to me. Turn your PC’s off people and go out for a nice meal or get away for the weekend, heck it’s even the season to go for an awesome snowy walk!
