Oh well,my friend and his boyfriend had really bad fight since the ex-girlfriend is sending some messages and some sort of other things..My brother's wife is also angry as hell when my brother's ex girlfriend also tried to contact him.. Hahaha it's funny but there are really couples fighting because of social sites like FB.Do you think it's a big deal for you?Or?What's your opinion?Any experience?

facebook is just one of the social networking sites most of us are getting addicted too. well,i can say,it depends on how people really see things written therein. yeah,people can post anything they want there.but if they really knew their partner well,they should learn to trust one another,cause without it,there's no foundation of love. they can get affected as long as they want to,but in the end,it is all up to them what to believe and how to solve their own problems. facebook has nothing to do with them anyway. people are the ones who make their own problems,not any other sites...

It all comes down to how people use social sites like Facebook which is designed for people to socialise with each other. If some individuals choose to use it to destroy their relationship it’s their prerogative! It comes down to maturity and if these individuals are going to fight with each other they will do so even if Facebook didn’t exist.

I agree but the problem with FB is their Security no matter what the people do to secure their page FB owner knows every trick of the trade.

The men are to blame. They can block people from sending them messages if they really wanted to. They don't have to accept that and they don't have to allow that person to even be able to look at their Facebook page. It's time to own up to our actions and take responsibility for the fact that we, as people, are selfish and just can't say 'no' when we feel we are getting attention from someone else.

insulin I doubt that facebook itself destroys relationships. People themselves destroy relationships whether they send messages at Faced book or mylot or anywhere else. As an elderly widow I have no experience with fightingor relationships either. It seems that exes in any relationship seem to love to tear up relationships and screw up other's lives. but its not the social site itself,its the actions of screwed up people.

I agree Hatley, Some people just don't know what they are doing sometimes or maybe they do and just want to hurt someone indirectly, many people find other interests (relationships) online and hoping that the relationship that they are in won't find out. Maybe the girl that broke up with her bf had such a relationship online but eventually it fizzled out and the lil notes that she was posting in her status was for the other person because he broke it off. I hope that you understand what I am saying...lol

Are you positive about relationships through facebook? How can you make a relationship through facebook when what you see, isn't all the time what you "get".

I have to agree. But it is not the social network that destroys the relationship but the people that use it. Though facebook can help reconnecting with your friends it can also be an instrument to destroy a few relationships. I remember a similar incident wherein a friend of mine read a few messages from her girlfriend's ex boyfriend and they were sweet messages. That really pissed my guy friend off. He and his girlfriend fought and separated for a while but good thing they patched things up after a few weeks. So we should really be careful in using websites like these.

i agree. not just destroy but reestablish a relationship that's not right. i know a lot of people who have had troubles starting from this website. that's why i deleted mine when i noticed that i'm getting nothing but wasting my time. i have other means to contact people i know anyway. this website is so out of control. it's good that you get to communicate but at least there's some sort of filtering or something..

I think we forget that fb and others are "social" sites. That means anything we put up there whether trivial to us or not, is out there for the world to see and it can't be taken back! I have to be careful of the things I say there because some things can come back to bite you in the butt!

It depends on what message was sent. If it's flirting then I think there will be fights. But if it's only a greeting then no problem as long as my guy isn't showing interest towards her.:)

FB is just a website,isn't it? Every coin has its two sides.Once there are mistakes between you and your BF or GF,talking face to face,that's the proper way. After all,we can not express our emotions entirely throught the net.

People are bold enough to go blame other things like social networking sites when these were just vehicles of the other person's choice. I guess people do this since it is much easier for them to accept to blame an inanimate object than to blame someone they 'love' for something undesirable. Social sites are obviously meant for social networking, in short, anyone can do whatever they want. Those messages will still be sent even without facebook. It's just that the site was unlucky enough to be the way the parties chose to send said messages to the other. Deleting your facebook account wouldn't help at all.

I have actually done that. My girlfriend was always posting lyrics to songs. At first it was okay but then the lyrics got really messed up. She was quoting lyrics about how love doesn't exist and how she wants to stab herself in the heart and stuff like that. When I confronted her in real life about it she told me it was lyrics from a song and I was over reacting but then one of her friends commented on one of her posts, asking her if she was okay. So obviously her friends took it seriously, did her parents? My friends that are friends with her? Everybody was reading that thinking I was abusive or something, and I swear to god I am the sweetest guy I know! lol Anyways, she stayed angry at me for "overreacting" but deleted the posts. Doesn't matter anyways though because we broke up a few months later. We are still on good terms. Maybe I was overreacting idk but I still think she is just crazy.

Yes Fb did a lot to me a good and a bad thing. First, the good things are that I saw my relatives that gone abroad and I havn't seen them a long time. Second, the bad thing is I posted picture of my brother singing, but he gets angry with he texted me many bad words, I forgived him, anyway its my fault.

Yeah, I agreed that Facebook can make a relationship destroy. I had witnessed myself that my friend clashed with his wife just because he is too addicted to Facebook and annoying his family and his children. At last, his wife left him and now he is so regretted with what he had did before. So Facebook is a big disaster for all of us!
