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

Sorry.
Maybe the OP should be using the well known social networking site BusFace instead of the little known whoring site known as 'Facebook'?

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
Thats a double negative poppet, which means you are petty...

If your going to take this attitude with men throughout your life it's going to be a long and lonely one. Men tend to be a bit untrustworthy when it comes to members of the opposite sex, nearly as untrustworthy as women.

Of course I had evidence thats the reason i broke up with him not just because of facebook

All im trying to say is in the past relationships may have worked better because the temptation was restricted by not being able to track someone down after meeting them once until technology was introduced to find old friends and flames.

Yes my relationship was doomed anyway, i'm not expecting sympathy and I was expecting the usual PH banter. smile

I expect alot of relationships have ended because of one partner contacting or being contacted by an ex and restarting something that was meant to have been left in the past.

AT which point were you going to mention that he contacted his Ex on facebook and not just a random girl?

Or you just saying that?

I old enough not to be having teenage flings anymore!!

Yes he was a cheating lying bd and I found out, yes the relationship was coming to an end and I fully admit that no problem but it is blown out of proportion with everybody knowing everybody elsed lives due to technology and the ease which people can contact new and old flames.

To be perfectly honest that sounds like a ridiculous reason to leave some one. He is probably only with her because you left him. I've got with an obscene amount of the girls i'm friends with on fb, it doesn't mean it distrustful for me to have them added.

But to answer the original question, it has come close, someone took photos and posted them of me dancing fairly close with another girl while at a ball. And I have had a few other incidences with friends putting up jokey status' about my behaviour etc as well.

In answer to the question, I doubt it is wholly responsible for the demise of many, though it will have helped a good few on the way, as in your case.

I would have thought this could be taken as a good thing, rather than a bad thing, ie speeds up the inevitable, enabling both parties to get on with their lives that much more quickly?

In my day it was CB Radio and that got blamed for all sorts of breakups.
Two years or so back it was Friends Reuninted getting the blame and now Facebook

Next it will be Twitter or something else.

Cannot see any difference, I just dont know why people (and the media) has to blame the technology rather than insecure relationships.

So going on the basis of this thread.

0% of relationships have been ruined by Facebook.

You were on Facebook and think it is important, (so much so you blame your break up on it). This means you are a shallow insecure person who cannot interact socially in a conventional manner. Do yourself a favour, ditch facebook, anyone you meet who is on it, have little to do with them, and get out and try speaking to people face to face.

Facebook is a load of old wk. Remember that, and your life will improve.

Thanks brother. It now obvious to my boss that I'm not currently slaving away on the report. There is definately nothing to laugh out loud about.

How's a chap supposed to organise a decent evening's dogging without social networking sites? Advertise in the car park? Sheesh, some people just don't get it do they?
