Too much selfie is bad.

I agree with @rakski that the selfies were just one part of the problem between them. She sounds like someone who is either very wrapped up in themselves or someone who is very insecure about themselves. In either case, she wants everything to be about her. I hope she gets some help to determine why she's behaving in this way.

Selfies in my view can be dangerous since there are horror stories of people getting hurt taking their own picture in dangerous areas around the world. Not to mention a person can fall In love with themselves.

I don´t belong to the selfie generation. As such, I am not much interested in them.

So I had a fellow mom friend whom I met through my daughter's early years in a class. The woman was young and often talked about how she did not do much for herself (makeup, hair, etc). When the kids got a little older and she was about mid 30s, she went through some early mid-life crisis. She lost weight, became fashionable, wore make up, got an amazing hair cut . . . she really beautified herself and started taking a lot of selfies and posting them on Facebook. She also went looking to go back to school or get a career. But her husband thought she prettied herself up to lure other men (which was actually not the case) - he got super jealous - and he demanded she stop with the selfies and such. My friend did not listen. With all these other arguments, they ended up hating each other - and by that time her friendship with all of us got sour as well - not sure if they finally divorced each other. But maybe it went down something like that with your friend too.

I actually realized a bunch of people I went to school with are divorced due to social media and their appearance.

I don't like the selfie thing either but there surely must b e something more to cause them to separate.it's too bad for the kids. How can she feed them if she's not working?

I disagree to anyone taking selfie too often.

Taking too many selfies can be considered as a psychological disorder.

I think that is a bad reason for the husband to leave her, just because she is a constant selfie taker?

I do not think that it is the sole reason for the separation or break up. Those things can be discussed.

@JustBhem Did he try talking to her about it? I do not feel that is reason alone to leave her. Maybe there is something really deep that we do not know about and is not really our business anyway. I am glad she got that job.

I don't take selfies, maybe sometimes.

Good thing I don't take selfies because I can't stand my face I agree that taking to much selfie is bad, but it's really sad that her husband left her for it.

I cannot imagine this would be the only reason for marital discord. But I agree it seems a bit strange. Maybe she is a bit Narcissistic? On the other hand it is a good way to show people where you have been and what you are doing. I do not do this. I do not like my picture taken. I like being on the other side of the camera.

Perhaps she is so pleased to her look and therefore she likes to take selfies. Perhaps we are not interested in seeing others' selfies so often, but I think it is still not a reason for her husband to leave her. If he has a problem with it, at least he can try to talk with her. It is silly to leave her because of it.

There must be other reasons as taking selfie is an indication of some issue she has.

I do not take selfies of myself. And do not plan on it.

Thank God, I am not that good looking so I don't take that much of a selfie...the beautiful background is in danger..he he.....

leaving a spouse because of selfies is very superficial. though i hate selfies or groupies or what. i just dont like pictures except stolen pics, this should not be the reason to leave your spouse

Oh yes! It's been psychologically proven that people who take number of selfies are sick...
