please tell me you're joking....
Spoiler: show
No it's not that simple. The internet in general makes it too simple and accessible, as it's been said. Just like many respectable and polite people have no qualms in trolling on forums thanks to the veil of anonimity the internet provides, many otherwise faithful people won't hesitate flirting with others via FB thanks to the socialization opportunities it gives.
It's not out of the question that in the following years internet cheating might become so widespread that we'll have to adapt to it and accept among the other social phenomena that were once considered unacceptable by the majority.
Facebook is an undeniable segue between the desire to cheat and the action of cheating, but it does not create the desire. You're ad hoc'ing all over the place.
Those wishing to cheat will cheat with or without Facebook.
Edit: And even if they don't, what's the difference, really? If Facebook is the only thing standing between fidelity and infidelity, how on earth can you trust them?
I have to agree; cheaters gonna cheat. Facebook only reduces the effort required. Just because it's easier doesn't mean they still wouldn't cheat. Path of least resistance type thing; the electricity doesn't stop until the resistance is too great, and even then it still wants to keep going.
In any case, judging from the OP and the other threads about this girl, she's not mature enough for marriage. Women get married, have a long-lasting relationship. Girls mess around with high school style drama and stupidity, relationship ends in a huge tangled mess of stupid.
What else needs to be said here?holy shit that's dumb. Cheaters gon' cheat.
I'm glad you got things resolved with the girl, Kuro.
And I figure this is somewhat related to the Facebook/cheating topic. First saw it a day or two ago because someone I know posted it on Facebook rofl.

Alarming increase in Facebook related divorces in 2011
A survey carried out by uk divorce website www.divorce-online.co.uk in December 2009 found that 20% of behaviour petitions contained the word “Facebook.”.
A follow up survey in December 2011 has found that number has alarmingly increased during 2011 to 33% of behaviour allegations in petitions. 5000 petitions were queried as in the 2009 sample.
The most common reasons where Facebook was cited as evidence were once again relating to spouses behaviour with the opposite sex but also spouses using Facebook to make comments about their exes once they had separated and using their public walls as weapons in their divorce battle.
Top three reasons.
1) Inappropriate messages to members of the opposite sex.
2) Separated spouses posting nasty comments about each other.
3) Facebook friends reporting spouse’s behaviour.
Twitter only appeared in 20 petitions as part of behaviour allegations, and again it was the use of twitter as a communication tool to make comments about exes that featured in most tweets.
Mark Keenan a spokesman for Divorce-Online said “Social networking has become the primary tool for communication and is taking over from text and e-mail in my opinion. If someone wants to have an affair or flirt with the opposite sex then the easiest place to do it. Also the use of Facebook to make comments about ex partners to friends has become extremely common with both sides using Facebook to vent their grievances against each other. People need to be careful what they write on their walls as the courts are seeing these posts being used in financial disputes and children cases as evidence.”
facebook: making it harder for you to cheat on your loved one without getting caught since...whenever the fuck facebook came out.
[edit] also fuck number two, I have a few friends that do that shit (and not even exes, just whenever that have a fight). I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR ARGUMENTS WHEN I LOG IN TO PLAY WORDS WITH FRIENDS.
How do these divorce courts work? "Evidence" like that seems pretty subjective. Is there actual laws written with subjective language like that when it comes to divorce ("she flirted with a dude on fb")?
iirc you get more than half if it's something that your spouse causes. So like, the "cheater" gets less money since they were the ones that created the issue or w/e
But yes it is subjective, there's no law against "cheating". They base it on the idea that you marry with the intention they won't cheat, so they broke the intentions.
They aren't housewives; they're actresses, sadly. Sadly.
