Facebook isn't the problem, infidelity is. Nice try, BagMan.

Aside from the Facebook effect I find the divorce rate numbers questionable


It went up up up to 50-51ish then just stops forever?

Seems like more than 50 percent to me

I'm 32. Most of my friends who are married did so in last four years. None are divorced as of now. I attribute that to waiting longer into life.

i read about this story a few weeks ago. that letter is full of so much smugness it's really hard to believe this is coming from someone who actually gave a shit about their relationship in the first place. it screams to be noticed in order to get a "you go girl!" reaction.

there's nothing redeeming about, and it's too calculated and crafted with too good a penmanship to give it credit as an actual break up letter. even if it is real, this chick is the type of dumbass bitch that probably met her boyfriend at a bar on a saturday night and he "seemed so nice" because he bought her a shot while she was out with her gilrfriends to celebrate another weekend of independence from being out of college.

Yeah, I would trust what those "middle east analysts" have to say about relationships

the first thing you do when you meet a girl is look at her facebook page. daily updates mean automatic rejection. i do tolerate an update every few days or whatever, as long as its something worth noting, but any chick that has to tell the world how great her last tanning experience was is a fucking idiot.

Divorce as an industry is big business, at least 10x's as much GDP is spent annually on divorce and the attendant trappings of legally separating 2 people than is spent per year on weddings. As expensive as those are, the average wedding cost pales in comparison to the cost of the average divorce. You'd be hard-pressed to pay for both sides attorneys fees in a divorce from beginning to end for the total cost of the average wedding. And that's just the lawyers. there's a shit ton of other bullsht surrounding divorce that generates economic activity--courts, therapists, movers, child-welfare agencies, etc, etc.

Seems like once a couple dip their toe in the pool of a potential divorce,the system is set up to make it happen rather than try to save the marriage.

From observing divorced couples where there are minor children involved, all of a sudden one or both parents is far more interested in every detail of the other's life than they ever were when they were married.
