Have you ever been in a relationship and your significant other asks you about something they've seen on your social-networking site? (Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc.) WE ALL HAVE. It's extremely easy to be subconsciously influenced by what we see on these sites. I can't count how many times I've been interviewed by ex's about "who's this on your top 8? How you know her? Why is she writing on your wall? Why she messaging you?".
A relationship is between YOU and YOUR MATE ... not you, them, AND FACEBOOK. We ALL know that social-networking sites put strains on relationships, but what puts an even GREATER STRAIN on them is the ASSUMPTIONS that we generate from these sites. Allowing our insecurities to become influenced by things we've seen on these sites have broken up countless relationships. If you have a relationship worth keeping, do EVERYTHING in your power to preserve that by COMMUNICATING with your significant other in a MATURE MANNER before ASSUMING based upon what you SEE.
Although these assumptions and insecurities are present in males too, I find it to be more present in women. Social-networking sites have gotten OUTRAGEOUS (Facebook being #1 on my warrant list of relationship enemies). It seems as if today's women whom are ALREADY insecure find it much easier to make information that they find on these sites more relevant than the words that they hear from their man's mouth directly. It's gotten to the point that people whom display these traits DO NOT want a relationship with a person, but would RATHER have one with FACEBOOK, they just wont admit it.The bottom line is SOCIAL NETWORKING sites and RELATIONSHIPS DONT MIX, but if you're going to have them, then the amount of influence YOU ALLOW it to have on your thought process about your mate should be little to NONE.
