That said, people aren't getting divorced because of Facebook; they're getting divorced because they've got problems.
Maybe sometimes one of the problems is spending too much time on Facebook.

I had an ex send me some very descriptive offers. I don't need the temptation in my life so I cancelled my account. I love my wife and would never do anything to hurt her. With that said, everyone has week moments and can give in, even if it is something as "minor" as communicating with someone that the wife would not approve of.

A buddy of mine is having a problem with that. His wife is on there constantly, ignoring both him and their baby.

That could be said of this site or any other "distraction."

I'm not saying that Facebook never creates problems, but I suspect in the vast majority of cases it's simply a catalyst for existing problems. At its core, Facebook is just a communications tool.

I used to have this problem also. problem solve-ed. I used to fly r/c aircraft and would spend inordinate amounts of time either building them or be at the field flying them. You would have thought that having me home online would have been an improvement.
I started cycling on the advice of a marriage councilor. once she, my ex, found out how much I liked it, it was no longer a valid therapy. So it goes.

Outside influences are never the reason things dont work out. They are just another symptom.
