Facebook a top cause of relationship trouble, say US lawyers
When Facebook gets involved, relationships can quickly fall apart – as Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi have discovered. But dictatorships are not the only ties being dissolved by social networking sites: now Facebook is increasingly being blamed for undermining American marriages.
Even though the rate of divorce in the US has remained largely stable in recent years, American divorce lawyers and academics have joined Middle East analysts in picking out Facebook as a leading cause of relationship trouble, with American lawyers now demanding to see their clients’ Facebook pages as a matter of course before the start of proceedings.
“We’re coming across it more and more. One spouse connects online with someone they knew from school. The person is emotionally available and they start communicating through Facebook,” said Dr Steven Kimmons, a clinical psychologist and marriage counsellor at Loyola University Medical Centre near Chicago.

LOL…Just this week I had dinner with a couple who are married…but not to each other. The guy courted the woman many years ago but never became a couple. They moved on, got married and had families. And then they hooked up recently through, yeah, Facebook.

I would like to emphasize these two because they are huge pet peeves of mine:
5. Put your phone’s ringer to silent mode in theaters (and restaurants)
6. Don’t light up your phone’s screen in a dark theater.
Most phones have vibrating alert features.Use them. If you just have to accept the call/sms, step out of the theater, please.
