Facebook Divorce Catalyst

Ever been dumped on facebook, or caught your partner facebook stalking someone else? Well, you're not alone. It seems that it's more common than we thought. Latest results show that 19.78% of UK divorces in 2009 quoted Facebook as being a factor.


















Let's be clear on this. Not that facebook was hard to use after a tough break up because they saw their partner having loads of fun or that they couldn't bear to look at their profile with all the history there in their face. No. Nearly 1 in 5 quoted it as a factor. That means that they either perceived the use of facebook or did use facebook in order to cause partial grounds for divorce. Wow. I'm clearly not using facebook properly.

Having said that, in the early days of facebook I did 'marry' my beautiful friend Natasha, only to receive loads of calls and texts from people who were upset I didn't invite them to the wedding and who was Natasha anyway. Natasha will always stand as both my first facebook wife and my first facebook divorce. I suppose that makes me a facebook widower.

Suppose I better get on with the trudgery of finding someone else... now, it's got to be time for a new profile picture...
