10 Most Shocking Facts About Facebook


#6 Marriages are made in heaven but can break on Facebook

Facebook is getting infamous as a marriage killer- about one in five American divorces now involve Facebook, according to a new survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

Previously the reasons for the divorces use to be the tell tale signs like lipstick mark on collar or the give away text messages in mobile phones, but now, it is due to what it is called as Facebook flings- with flirty messages and photographs found on the site, that are increasingly being cited as proof of unreasonable behavior or irreconcilable differences.

A staggering 80 per cent of divorce lawyers have also reported a spike in the number of cases that use social media for evidence of cheating, according to the report. Many cases revolve around social media users who get back in touch with old flames they hadn’t heard from in many years.

Facebook was by far the biggest offender, with 66 per cent of lawyers citing it as the primary source of evidence in a divorce case. MySpace followed with 15 per cent, Twitter at 5 per cent and other choices lumped together at 14 per cent. (Source: MailOnline)
