American lawyers have found that Facebook has been related to 20 percent of divorces. That’s one in five. Now, I don’t want to add to the hype conclusion that Facebook is evil and is the cause of the divorce; Facebook is more of a medium that connected two vulnerable people.
The classic scenario for these divorces is as follows. Man is currently married. Connects with several high school friends on Facebook, including past girlfriends. Is disgruntled one day due to stress, and expresses his feelings to a past fling via Facebook. He feels her nonjudgmental and gentle reaction to his current stress. Than this leads him to emotionally invest in his Facebook fling instead of his wife. This leads to a removal of him from connecting to his wife emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. The rest, as it is said, is history.
