No we didnt split because he added a girl on facebook - im not not that petty

Yes i dumped him because of not being able to trust him and it turns out i was right as he is now in a relationship with this girl less than 2 weeks after we split!

Its all pretty raw to be honest.

Anyway I was wondering how many realtionships have been ruined because a person that without facebook would have been met once and forgotten then manages to find the person on facebook and things get out of control

So you dumped him after him not being trust worthy... he gets on with his and goes out with her...

I dont see your gripe, you dumped him for something else entirely and now you are upset he is getting on with his life too soon?

I agree with you on this. She dumps her boyfreind so he moves on and she is upset he moved on.

Don't worry, it's because these single old men don't understand young people,

More seriously, I think it can help end relationships more quickly. I know quite a few girls who check up on exs and guys who they find attractive, even if they're going out with someone at the time (and it's people around 22, not just 12). It's easier to break up with someone if you are in contact with someone who you used to go out with/ are attracted to and so bail out of the current relationship, thinking the grass is greener. Or it happens enough that people think it will happen and so bail out themselves, so the other person doesn't do it to them.

Not that it doesn't happen without Facebook, it makes it easier.

Bex, most blokes live by this:

If it moves fk it, if it doesn`t move fk it until it does.

Worth making a note of that.

Speaking personally, I'm somewhat more discerning than that. I aim, at the very least, for female humans. Each to their own.

Why do the guys not delete a 'freind' once they are no longer shagging them?

Finally, someone who wants to help her on the pretense to get in her nickers!

because having a fling with a ex is often easier to get than finding a randomer when you get a dry spell

Facebook didn't destroy your relationship. Your own insecurity destroyed it.

You sound like you are young enough to meet another nice bloke. Next time, you should trust him. Blokes like being trusted. Really!

All we want is a shag. Not a nag. We really cannot be arsed with all the hassle of trying to "pick up" a new bird if we have a guarenteed shag at home. Why on Earth would we bother?

So, next time that you get a decent bloke, don't treat him like some unfaithful slag. Treat him as if he needs feeding and the occasional leg over, and you will keep him.

I was going to post agreeing with the OP saying that now facebook makes it easier to look up old flames and see how they look!

But after seeing how desperate and needy it made the othe guy look I will sya this,


You're mental you are poppet!

seriously though you lot are all just laying in for no good reason. Yes bus stops are places where you can meet new people. Facebook on the other hand is far more sinister, you can type in any ex or even new acquaintance and see photos of them and send them little messages. Stalking has never been so easy or fun!

However going with the convention of the room. It's not facebook per se it's the guy/girl (mmmmm!) you're seeing. I've personally always maintained a distance between myself and someone I deem suitable for coitus when I am already in a relationshop so looking on facebook for the next conquest wouldn't enter my mind. However if I was that way inclined I wouldn't just be using facebook for my new vagina needs!

Poor girl, asking for advice and sympathy from a bunch of sad old blokes.

Im not old.

Hey, and I'm not a bloke!

(though I am unfortunately old)

So what's this girl's name that he met on facebook. I've probably shagged her, as I've had about 95% of the women on facebook. It was sooooooo easy. I just added them as a friend and they whipped their knickers off.

I love facebook.

[rocksteadyeddie]

Not really my type but she likes ugly ginger blokes with beards so that may be some hope

[croyde]

Now where is that hair dye.

[anonymous-user]

Facebook for me is a positive..

I get to chat with women i worked 4 years ago that are now single.....

When i get some i will update PH

[croyde]

I'm doing facebook all wrong then as my "friends" are people I want to keep in touch with in order to get work.

[WhoseGeneration]

How I wish I could keep up with you young ones and your new ways.
Oh OP, we men are the same as we've always been.
As are you women.
Just that now there's more public exposure for both.
Meaning that true feelings are now, even more important.
What do I know, married for 33 years.

You lot are being a bit harsh aren't you? She hasn't really provided any detail as to what proof she had prior to break up or the events that led up to it, so to write her off as insecure and mental is a bit broad brush. For all we know she caught him in the act.

But facebook to blame? No, it just made it easier for him. Same as it's easier for you to direct a bit of anger at it. If he was going to cheat, he was going to do it, techology or not if he's that type if person it would have
happened anyway, facebook just speeded up the process. I should imagine many people kid themselves on that bit and think their partner would never have cheated if it 'hadn't been for facebook'.
