FaceBook Marriage Problem Contest

FaceBook Marriage ProblemsWhat's the worst marriage or relationship problem you've heard of that was caused by FaceBook?

Share your FaceBook horror story here.  The best story will win a counseling meeting worth $129.

It's becoming a weekly occurrence in my marriage counseling that I hear of a new relationship problem that arose from a partner using FaceBook.  Here are just a few:

  • Alan got a FaceBook friend invite from a woman he knew in high school.  He accepted and they started exchanging messages.  He says they just "connected."  When they finally met in-person he says it was "electric" from the moment they got in the car together.  When he got home from the weekend with her he told his girlfriend of 18 months that he was leaving her for another woman.
  • Barry decided to leave his wife of 16 years and 3 kids to move-in with a woman he met on FaceBook.  It lasted 2 months and then he wanted to come back home.
  • Jennifer and Chris fight at least a couple of times a week over the friends he has on his FaceBook page.  She doesn't trust some of his female friends.  He tells her she's paranoid and there's nothing going on.  She's doesn't know what to believe.

My fiance and I have known each other for 4 years now. We had a very though relationship. Were previously engaged but broke it of because of his insecurity problem and remarks etc. We broke up the engagement and stopped seeing or talking to each other. It was a very difficult. This happened early 2010. He began trying to contact me again after two months. Apologizing for everything he did and said to me during the times we were together. After a quit courtship, on my birthday he proposed once more. I doubtfully accepted (because of cheating on behalf of him). He never wanted me on his facebook nor his myspace. I stupidly accepted to be engaged to him again never the less. with his promise and puppy dog eyes that he had changed. We would go out. He finally requested me on his facebook. to which i was also doubting accepting him. When I went on his page however, It stated that he was also engaged.... TO SOMEOME ELSE. All his friends had posted messages to him and her congratulating him. When I confronted him. He said that he needed to explain and all his friends had made a mistake. But he had a link to her as his "finace". I questioned him as all he had to say was "it's just facebook. I 'm not engaged to her I am engaged to you. calm down, it's just facebook. You're over reacting. believe me." then when he saw i didn't believe him. He had the odasity to say. why don't you ever believe me?.

My fiance says he is Networking for his work, and that people ask him to be friend him.  
 
1. He asks others from preveious freinds he does not know to be his friend and they are women, pretty ones and single. HUM  
 
2. Networking, I think NOT 
 
He says I am insucure???  
 
Ic have brought this to his attention again and told him he is emotionally cheating. He says he does not talk to them.  
 
I know I am a dumb arcs but is this like a mid-life crisis that they try and make themselves feel better cause they are aging?
