You can, but not all the time! Absoulutely, the only bad side is that facebook love is not real love and that cheating is bad. I had a friend to had a boyfriend and he cheated on her with another girl. The girl that he cheated with then made a facebook profile, told my friend about the affair and then actually provided proof of the affair. My friend was so mad that she broke up with him. They ended up getting back together, but the point is cheating is bad and yes it hurts relationships.

Yeah i totally agree with you as well. because my relationship is going down the toilet because of boyfriend. i don't trust a word he says. i believe he is not cheating but when it comes to Facebook he knows every girl on there. its like he has low self esteem that it is sicken and stupid. it upsets me that he feels he need to talk to other girls to tell him he attractive. he says this is why he talks to them. low self esteem. whatever :)

Well, a lot of girls put up really naughty pictures on the internet and they are really naughty so if a boy notices that a girl seems kind of a bad girl and he thinks he can gets some, he usually starts talking to her and before you know it they have hooked up and you have been cheated. That is why it is good to kind of be open about it in relationships and if you are bothered by it, you just have to talk to the guy. A lot of guys do talk to other girls on facebook especially ones that show interest first because even if you are in a relationship, once you talk to somebody else you start to notice flaws and other things in the relationship and the guys is more than likely to cheat because once he talks to another girl he gets the feeling of what it is to flirt and be a free person again, especially if it has been a long relationship like a year or even more.

I agree with all said above...but still.... why would anyone WANT to "cheat" online in any form? I mean,come on....just cause you haven't "friended" someone,doesn't mean they can't see what you have posted. And do the words SOCIAL NETWORK mean anything? Or maybe I should say...do you KNOW what the words social network mean? Cheating is something you do behind backs of those you are cheating on, so why in the world you would refer to it on the biggest, world wide social network for all to see? how stupid is that!

It certainly is another easy avenue for some to cheat. It allows us to friend just about anyone with an account and be private where as no one can see unless of course it is placed on the walls and or profiles.
So yes it is allowing many to "mess up" as you see it is only a tool but some people take advantage and have no self control.

The problem is that some people hook back up with exes on facebook. If they never got over that person in the first place and are having trouble in their marriage or relationship, this could cause a breakup especially if they hide the friendship. It stirs up distrust and trust is a main ingredient in a relationship. Facebook can be good for keeping in touch with old friends, but bad if abused.

Yes yes yes. I know so many people that have had their relationships ruined thanks to facebook. People stalk your every move, if you have a new friend they instantly think you are cheating on whoever with them, the comments, they'll read it and take it the other way. They'll stalk your profile until they find something that they think is suspicious and then start drama. I know someone who got so jealous of their girlfriends new friend that was commenting on her every status that he made her deactivate her facebook.

From personal experience, YES you can....however, you can still get caught and it can do severe damage both to the relationship and the individuals involved. Facebook can be a perfectly fine and safe way to visit with friends, make more, and keep up with family; however there can also be a temptation and a dangerous side - especially if one member of a relationship decides to see if the "grass really is greener on the other side". An online relationship gives the false feeling of safety that the person cannot and will not get caught. So yes, facebook CAN really mess up relationships.
