More than a third of divorce filings last year contained the word Facebook, according to a U.K. survey by Divorce Online, a legal services firm. And over 80% of U.S. divorce attorneys say they've seen a rise in the number of cases using social networking, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. "I see Facebook issues breaking up marriages all the time," says Gary Traystman, a divorce attorney in New London, Conn.

That's a bit of a red herring. Facebook issues don't break up marriages. Pre-existing issues make it onto Facebook, just like before that it was cell phone logs, etc. Facebook itself doesn't break people up, but it's a public forum where the light can shine on existing issues, and it's a historical reference that can be used in court. It's a form of documenting issues.

who knows exactly what the % is but facebook absolutely does break up marriages...the number of splits due to being able to find ex Hoyda so easily has to be significant on its own

When Jimmy Buffett writes a song about cheating on your significant other using facebook, I'll believe you.

Cheaters gonna cheat.  FB might make it a little easier to do it but I don't beleive for an instant that some guy who is scouring FB looking for some tail wouldn't be looking to cheat if he didn't have the internet.

Do people really look to cheat or does it just happen?

Guy 1: "Hey, what you doing tonight?"

Guy 2: "Nothing much...I had a long week, I was in the mood for some cheating. Wanna come with?"

Guy 1: "Naw...I'm cool, I'm just going to make love to my boyfriend. Wanna come with?"

Alternate ending:

Guy 2: "No thanks, I hate gays"

Guy 1: "Just kidding, I'm not gay. I was going to have sex with your wife while you were away cheating"
