Can Facebook worsen love relationships?
Have you ever arrived home very tired of work or university, and wanting
to have a break from problems of real life? Many times Facebook has played the role
of our entertainment; however, we don´t know how much it can affect our personal
relations. Recent studies have shown that there are certain features of Facebook
that make it a source of problems among couples. Many people have confessed that
they have had problems because of the information that is shared on Facebook. One of its characteristics is related to time;
not only the time that they spend on the social network, but also what are they
really doing on it during that period of time. Another important aspect is the over-informative
attribute that is related to Facebook. This means that you can control what you
write; yet you can´t control what other people write about you, what they write
on your wall, and what they read about you. For instance, a girl notices that her
boyfriend has accepted five friends requests of girls that she doesn´t know, so
they have an argument. Of course that
jealousy itself as well as self-esteem and emotional health are starting points
in these situations. What do you think is to blame? Is it technology that influences
our relations, or is our own personalities that we can´t control?
