Facebook blamed for increasing rate of divorce, I disagree, do you?

People are just blaming Facebook because they don't want to accept that the people themselves might be the problem. Everything bad always get blamed on whatever is popular. TV, games, comics, and now Facebook. They get blamed for everything because nobody likes admitting that they're at fault for anything.

I disagree. Face Book is a highly successful social network site, one of whose main purposes is for old friends to meet up after years or even decades of separation; as such it's miraculously wonderful. If unfortunate events happen through Face Book, Face Book can't be blamed; it's just life, and life is never perfect. Unfortunate events would occur irrespective of Face Book or anything else: they are often a consequence of human fallibility, not Face Book or anything else on the internet or elsewhere.

Thats highly immature to blame it on facebook lol.Its not facebook its we who cheat.Its we who have to control temptations when we are in relationships.

As far as my opinion is concern. We can't blame facebook in that particular problem of both the husband and wife. They should faithful each other to avoid something like that?

Hello. It used to be that mobile phones were blamed for the increase in divorce rates. Now it's facebook. I dunno why people pass the buck and don't own up to weaknesses. These externals could be the means but the cause is in the couple themselves. I agree with you that relationships should be strong enough to withstand any temptation. After all, temptations are there and how you respond to it defines you. Have a nice day ahead.

Well kids like me who are not mature in any sought of relationship if they got inspire in some kind of bad activities than you can say maybe its happening 50% but divorce? nah. Now a days everyone is confirming every little detail about the person whom they are going to marry. So its not like that but maybe some sought of problems can be rise because of Facebook if someone use continually and ignoring his daily duties. Otherwise divorce is an big thing.

i say that every thing has good and bad with it. yes facebook has a lot of good things and there are bad things about it too. but it is completly up to us to decide how we are going to use it. i mean you cannot just stop some one from flirting by stopping the site face book. if facebook it banned, a person has the option of going for some other website. there are so many of them. facebook is just popular. i guess a year back orkut was the craze. and before that yahoo chat rooms were the craze. so the thing is still there, just the mode is changing. so if some one is not loyal, then facebook should not be blamed for that. its the person who made the mistake, what can facebook do.

I don't agree facebook cannot and will not blamed for divorce are martial breakdown in a relationship. I am married and i have been on facebook for a long ever since i hear about it.My Husband is and facebook he have a lot of friends their I don't know if he flirt . and we still have a wonderful relationship with each other,No networking site cannot be blame for increasing in divorce are relationship breakdown.

Maybe facebook can be one of many ways of cheating and eventually relationship/marriage breakage but I dont think it has to be blamed. We people were born with brains and free will to decide which way we go. So whatever temptations may come our way its us who decides whether we jump or no. In every wrongs we do its us who are responsible and not the things around us.

The link you provided doesn't work anymore so wasn't able to read it. Anyway, I don't think facebook has something to do with the increase rate of divorce. I think it's really with the users on how they are using facebook. It's up to the married users who abuse it. And i think you are right, maybe they are just being too immature.

There could be basis in it since it's very easy to connect with someone on Facebook. Childhood sweet hearts normally finds each other on facebook and old feelings are easily rekindled. There could be couples who got divorce because of facebook but I don't agree that it's the main reason alone. There are so many things going on in real life that can attribute to the cause of divorce.

I guess it is not just about being a place for flirting why Facebook is being blamed for the rise of divorce. Facebook is blamed because Facebook status and comments are treated as written evidences in divorce cases. Facebook status are hard evidence because it is written and can be asked from Facebook. Some people, who want to divorce their wife or husband, uses Facebook as a way to make an evidence against them for a divorce. So my advice is to be really careful with what you post on Facebook because it might be used against you.

Dear AjaySinghBaghel, i agree with that. I think social networking sites are good as well as harmful. But what we do is most important. and we people always prefer learning negative things. So this all causes to increase the level of divorce cases. Thanks

I think that attributing the increasing rate of divorce to Facebook is a very flimsy idea. Married couples end in divorce because of serious problems and issues such as incompatibility, marital infidelity, personality differences among others. Blaming Facebook is, I should say, immature. I don't think that Facebook is potent or addictive enough to cause marital problems leading to divorce.

Dear friend, I hope it could attract more for those thirsty to get a someone for dating or something that sort. I feel divorce in India were I live is mainly due to the law here not face book. Those couples who enter into the family court with small problems comes out either with a divorce or separated. Moreover I feel facebook would be a relief giving for divorced people.

How come a social networking site will be blame because of increasing number of divorce. What's the connection? Maybe it's just many people are already marrying at young age without thinking that they might just fight each other because they still don't know each others lifestyle or anything. They must think first before getting married.

I don't think Facebook is to blame it is the person's choice whether or not to flirt and such. If the person does it in the real world and their partner doesn't see it already then it shouldn't even be in the question. I think flirting is natural and will happen just as much on Facebook as in actual life. I know my girlfriend does get a little jealous if she thinks im flirting with someone on Facebook though haha but it is nothing too serious.

hey dear AjaySinghBaghel, Thanks for that discussion firstly. I do agree with you. Facebook is even a very good social networking site. where we can share our ideas our new events and even images but this sometimes harmful for our future. Due to that the rates of Divorce may be effected badly. Thanks

in the first place, facebook is supposed to be a social network, not a chick provider or something. if they say that facebook is the reason for the increasing number of divorced couples, they may want to think again. face book is NOT the reason why couplkes get a divorce, it's just because of the immature people who wants a little fun and uses face book to aid them in their fun. maybe, instead of posting that news that facebook causes divorce, why not be more be more productive and just make a news on how to strengthen relationships? well, that's my viewpoint.

You see? That is the problem with us humans. Facebook is just a tool. It is used for a purpose. The problem is, man tends to do something that will literally hurt other people, most usually those that we love and those who love us. It is only through Facebook or such tools that these illicit relationships get caught. Ending up, people blame facebook instead of themselves. People tend to blame something or somebody else, rather than putting the blame on themselves and seeing what is wrong and correcting it. This is why we people always end up with excuses, and we never learn. We result to divorce, separation, etc. Then, after blaming facebook, they still end up using it. Let us say that they do not use it. They end up blind, not knowing what is actually happening. They choose not to know rather than understanding and fixing things. Therefore, i do not think facebook is to be blamed. I think we ought to blame ourselves for our misdeeds.
