Ive just broken up with my boyfiend of three years because of a girl that he met once and added him on facebook.

Just wondering how facebook can be a good thing for relationships cause in my case it destroyed it - Has anyone else had any bad experiences of the dreaded facebook?

Step 1: Stop blaming facebook. All it did was facilitate an introduction. Could have happened at a bus stop.

Sorry.

So you would have been happier if you remained blissfully ignorant of your boyfriend's true nature and (lack of) feelings towards you?

Did he do anything or just a female to his account?

Surely there was more to it than "he met someone else on Facebook"? You don't just end a 3year relationship because some bit of fluff catches your eye.

You split because he added a girl to his facebook "friends".

Must be the same as when my missus (separated) would go nuts if I ever mentioned a girl's name twice, ie a work mate.

None. It's merely highlighted reasons why it was unlikely to work anyway, and possibly accelerated the demise. No bad thing really.

Do you REALLY think that if he was going to DO anything he'd be stupid enough to do it with a bird who is on his Facebook whcih YOU can see?

Don't be so f ng stupid, love.


You're a psycho nutter and he's well rid by the sound of it.


All he did was add someone to his Friends list. FRIENDS. The clue is in the name. He probably has a spare phone and a Hotmail account for his "away fixtures".

You have been here 33 Months!

1) Do you think this will end well?

2) Why did you join a car forum full of old miserable men aged 12?

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

Yes. Oxo and MX5 are banned. The far less common and no less inevitable request for pics though...

Im still a bit miffed at the ommision of "poppet" tbh. Smarten up Soov.

I was implying that the OP was 12, end of a long day and my Grammar checker is already on the way to the pub.
