Facebook has been blamed for the breakdown of thousands of marriages.
The site was named in at least 20% of divorce petitions in America this year, according to research, and the most common reason is spouses engaging in saucy sex chat with their online friends.
Flirty emails and messages found on Facebook pages are increasingly being cited as evidence of unreasonable behavior.
Other social networking sites, including MySpace, Bebo and Twitter, also featured heavily int he sample of 5,000 divorce papers studied.
Around 14 million Britons are believed to regularly use social networking sites to communicate with old friends or make new ones.
In the US, divorce lawyers openly admit to searching social networking sites for evidence of infidelity or wrong-doing in a bid to strengthen their case against an errant spouse.
Connecting with old friends and making new ones doesn’t seem to be handled very well in regard to this news. What do you say??
