I really enjoy spending time on facebook and I think its a great way to keep in touch with friends. But I just want to warn everyone that sometimes it can be dangerous to relationships! I just had a situation where a good friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend because he saw messages on her wall from other guys. The thing was, though, that the messages didn't mean anything and were actually from these guys who liked her, but she had no interest in any of them. So it caused this huge rift in her relationship for nothing, as she would always be faithful and loyal to her boyfriend. Have any of you had similar problems with facebook?

I think that was for the best. It's a good thing that the boyfriend broke up with your friend this early in their relationship just because he saw some posts from other guys that really don't mean anything. That way, your friend now knows that his boyfriend is the jealous type and that could be dangerous.

Nope, I don't face such problem. Maybe there are still young and unable to take it or it might cause misunderstanding. How young is your friend? Why her boy friend so jealous about the messages? I couldn't understand why just a small things can cause relationship breakup.

I wouldn't really blame facebook. Haha. =P
This would have happened too even outside of facebook. I think the guy was a jealous type and maybe communication and trust between the two were not that good.
What I'm trying to say is, if the relationship is strong and the couple trusts and respects each other, things like this won't be enough to shake them.

I see nothing wrong with the girl having guy friends, in the same way I see nothing wrong with the guy having female friends. I don't think that just because someone is in a relationship, it automatically means that the world should shrink into a place with a bunch of people of the same gender and only one of the other (that is, the boy/girlfriend). Hehehe. =P What is needed is to know their place, their limits, and to have enough trust and respect for each other. And communication and honesty are very important too. Yes definitely. He should have talked with her first before breaking up. =)

haha I had not heard of such jealousy.
How can there be so jealous of people for one position and separation.
I think that love will be split with a girlfriend to talk among themselves.
I think we should be careful with this and Facebook to know what you posted there.
Have a nice day!

I think that you're right, and it can cause many problems in people's relationships. I know that whenever another man posts on my Facebook wall my boyfriend asks me who they are, how I know them, and whether they're looking for something else other than friendship. This is unfair, as it implies that he does not trust me to speak to people without trying to get into a relationship with them, and he should know by now that he is the only person I want, and that I wouldn't think of anyone else in that way while I'm still with him.

I can say that,that's being immature for the boy to broke up with his girlfriend all because of those messages.
If someone wants to cheat...why published in public?
In my opinion,the boy is so immature and too much jealousy really could lead to distraction.
I guess the girl should be thankful,at least she have come to know the real attitude of her boyfriend.
have a great weekend and welcome to mylot

Facebook allows many to freely use it how they choose, many do not realize what they are posting at times and it can cause issues in relationships, but really it depends on the person.
My boyfriend uses Facebook constantly and to date is respectable enough not to use it in this way. He is not afraid to leave it open at all times at home as he does not use it for intense of purposes as some who do for cheating purposes.
I don't use mine much, but have noticed a great deal of inappropriate behavior amongst friends and families which has later caused issues.

That's the reason why I only have my family and good friends y facebook. My husband is not too cyber so he doesn't has facebook, believe it or not. But he is cool about me having contact with my friends and family. I think the key is to have a limit on what you permit in your page. People will reach the limit you let them. That is why you should stop them before they get too far to the point to create problems between your boyfriend, husband, etc. and you.

Yes, i had that problem before. My boyfriend got jealous not because of the messages on my wall or comments in the pictures but to the person always beside me in the pictures taken together with our colleagues when we had our outing. He accused me of of having a third party and it became a fight eventually. Anything is possible in facebook...it makes communication easier,it creates a better way to spread good or bad news,it can make you popular yet it can damage also once repution or relationship.
