Social Networking and Relationships
-

Ever since the birth of social networking sites, relationships more often than none have been deteriorating faster than ever.
These sites such as Facebook and Twitter show every single move you make, and the private inbox? Let’s not even go there.
I’ve been put in a few different situations with my past relationships, each with a different outcome.
I had one relationship where we were active on 2 different networks. The problems it caused? Slim to none, if that.
I had another relationship where we were both active on 2 out of the 3 same social networking sites. Did we have problems?
shiiiiiit, did we NOT have problems?

In today’s society, a lot of people are just straight up trifling.
The days of gentlemen and ladies with integrity are out the window, and the uprising of cheating with one-night-stands and booty calls are at an all time high.
For the simple reason that these hoes (both men and women can be hoes) just don’t care.
What you won’t do(blow jobs), someone else will, and your lover knows it too!
So now we have a fork in the road, let me ask you:
If you and your lover are both active on the same networks, are you two Facebook friends/following one another on Twitter? If not, what is the reasoning?
- Elimination of plausible drama?
- Your own virtual peace of mind without the hassle of 21 questions from your counterpart?
- The security of having what you do be private just in case you slip up via the world wide web?
Is it better to fully walk by faith and not by sight?
Or would you rather see everything for what it is? Good, bad, or ugly — and cut your losses sooner than you would have if you had not known.
Because remember, everything done in the dark, eventually comes to light.

I’ve heard opinions from everywhere that Facebook ruins relationships: individuals who are dating should not even be on a social networking site out of respect for their relationship.
Why? Because you only gotta slip up once to ruin something good, and temptation is always a doorbell away.
Trust is imperative for any relationship, and if anyone is given the reason not to trust.. the relationship will soon be approaching its expiration date.
One really has to ask themselves, aside from the drama caused from the social networking sites:
-
How Is My Relationship?
-
We’ve got to take ourselves back, back to the days prior to cell phones, facbeook, myspace, and twitter and see if the problems truly lie within these sites or are they simply providing fuel for the already burning fire.
When it comes to love; Socially:
To Friend or Not To Friend? THAT is the question.

Alright, so I want to be the first one to put in some thoughts:
personally, I believe that social media is a “strengthen” or “break” a relationship.
y’ know . . . when you post something cute on your spouse’s wall > they get excited and respond with words that make you day even brighter.
In the end, I believe you’re right: if the two of you have a solid foundation, social networks can be fine.
OH, and only if you and your friends/ex’s have an understanding to not disrespect each other’s spouses by posting troublesome comments.
Versus the other: someone else posting a comment to which insinuates hidden sexual messages that can cause a whole heap of trouble.
