'in most cases it's harmless' - this isn't true to say by everybody's standards. If my boyfriend was constantly flirting with other women, or bad mouthing me after an argument or something, or speaking to someone else about personal issues that maybe he wouldn't discuss with me, then I'd be pretty peeved too. In fact, I'd deem that to be worse than if he had one silly drunken kiss as a once off with somebody. Mind, I wouldn't like that either, but relationships online often start off emotionally, and I became quite attached to my boyfriend before I even met him and had anything 'physical'.

Also, it's not just a woman that would feel this way, so the 'Pffffft women' comment is very biased and uninformed.

what about that couple that met on second life, got married in real life, then divorced in real life because herself found out that himself was having a virtual fling. and they were both hideous forms of humans.

Actually i don't "get" FB or other social networking sites, i set them up...but never use them. The concept seems rather alien to me.

I doubt the "facebook flirting" would be the main cause of the divorces mentioned in the article, maybe more 'the straw that broke the camels back'?

i'd divorce them for merely using such an utter pile of ****e as Facebook.

sock puppet

Emma Brady, who works as a conference organizer, only found out that her husband was planning on ditching her after he posted a Facebook profile change and she received a status update informing her that "Neil Brady has ended his marriage to Emma Brady."

Classy guy.

Women when presented with information that can be interpreted two ways will always choose the one that will upset them most.



You happen to save the life of a woman from a fire/fall/driveby and instead of being a hero you are now a cheater

Hmmm thing about facebook - I reckon its a place that collects mind chatter - you know - the **** you normally screen out cause you realise a) noone wants to know and b) noone needs to know. facebook for whatever reason gives that **** a forum and results in dramas

Facebook can destroy families... I know this first hand.. I personally have a facebook page, which only contains one photo and a handful of friend's and messages (always had a much more active bebo page tho!)

My mam's side of the family 4 brothers one sister down in England, my mum and her brother are in Scotland (7 siblings in all). One of the brothers in England's wife's left a snotty message on another brothers page (these are people in their 40/s n 50's!) and now all hell has broken loose 4 brothers against one, cousins boxing with cousins, one brother refused to be pall bearer at his brother, whom he had been previously close to's funeral (us "Scottish" relatives are taking no part in this) but it's crazy, all because it's "out there now" there's no taking it away now, a comment that you might have said to a person in confidence which is available for all to see now!

This is a totally Jeremy Kyle event, (which I refuse to be associated with if it ever airs !!!)

I do think that facebook etc can cause lots of tension in family's and relationships, using facebook as a diary is a whole lot a **** i don't want involved in!!
