Here is a link to another news story about affairs and social networking sites like Facebook:

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/9094088/

Quote: "Social media is a factor in almost every case in one way or another today"- attorney Lee Rosen, with Rosen Law Firm in Raleigh.

Quote: �I've even seen cases where someone left the state, quit their job, left their children for a person they have met on Facebook, or maybe reconnected with, but don't really know,� (divorce attorney Alice Stubbs)

Interesting article especially since PP opened a Facebook last week. She started off using her 2nd M name (never legally changed it to his)and a "affairage pose" of both of them and now changed it to her maiden name and XH last name changing profile picture to her and her 2 daughters.

Hoping she finds her next victim with this. Little karma.

This really isn't all that new though. ICQ and other chat programs did the same thing in the 90's.

It's how someone abuses these types of sites that is the problem, not the site themselves.

It's like the people who argue that McDonald's is the reason people are fat, or that bars are the reason that people are alcoholics.

Its a double edged sword because BSs can use facebook too - to expose the crap out of them!

I'll take it even further back. In the 80's there were BBS connections. Slow and boring but just as effective. Then there was another big name (I can't remember it right now!) but after that came AOL and the chat rooms. Just to see the names of some of those rooms made it clear people were out trolling.

Anyone else care to take it back further?

Adultery's been around for a long, long time.

In fact, I betcha we could take it all the way back to the beginning of time.

Well, David was one of the early celebrity adulerers - a famous king who set his best friend up to be killed and married the already pregnant widow affair partner.
