Facebook Can Cause Relationship Problems

There’s a hilarious video on Facebook that deals with breakups caused by FB behavior. The video makes fun of being tagged in photos and sending drinks. But seriously, Facebook is causing problems in a lot of relationships.

A study found that it may not be a good idea for couples to be friends on FB because there’s nothing left to talk about later on in the day when they see other face to face or talk over the phone.

I can see where this kinda would cause a couple to communicate less, too. After all, people usually post what’s going on with them throughout the day.

But I don’t have this problem. :) I have plenty to talk about.

Any who.

I spend a good amount of time on FB, chat a tat tatting. I love it! Yes, my name is Darlene and I’m addicted to Facebook.

So because of my addiction, when the guy I’m seeing went into the restroom and I thought the coast was clear, I darted into the computer room like a rapid-moving mouse. Well, I actually tiptoed and sat down delicately in the chair to check out what I had missed.

To my surprise, he was standing behind me. Mind you, the shower water was still running. I was busted.

He was a bit annoyed, but I managed to make him laugh about it.

But Facebook isn’t just a problem for me, I have discovered.

I’ve heard stories about people checking the number of the opposite sex that a person has.

I’ve heard stories about people being upset because one person seems to comment on just about everything that is posted.

I’ve heard stories about being on Facebook too much.

In fact, being on Facebook causes tension in relationships.

I have a guy friend who told me that his girl will ask him if was on Facebook before they meet up.

Once he says he was accused of wanting to be on FB when he said he needed to take care of some business.

He says he is irritated to no end with this type of questioning, but although he is irritated he’s definitely addicted. I see him when I’m on so that means he is in the same 12-step program that I attend. LOLOLOLOL

I recently decided that I want FB on my cell phone. I don’t have it now and my blood pressure seems to rise when I’m on the move and can’t see what is going on.

But can people really spend too much time on social networking sites? And should people tell their significant other that their FB use is becoming a problem in the relationship? Heck, when is it a problem in a relationship? What is a good amount of time to spend on FB if you are in a relationship?

I love FB but I don't want it causing problems in my relationship. Should I get FB on my phone?
