Media may not be helping relationships..

My mom and I were gossiping tonight (big surprise) and we were talking about a couple that just aren't getting along and some bad things have happened recently between them and my mom made a valid point that media may be allowing their bad behavior to get out of hand. Texting and Facebook are the two things that come to mind when I think about relationships going downhill.  Facebook is the center of SO many fights that I hear about in relationships, it's ridiculous.  Facebook re-connects old friends, allows new connections to be made, and allows people to talk to others without the awkward face-to-face interaction that they may want to avoid.  It also allows people to be sneaky.  What I mean by this is that sometimes people may use Facebook to send private messages or friend request someone that their partner may not know about.  Text messages are also another way where people in relationships may find trouble.  Texting is simple, friendly, and sometimes sneaky.  Media is making it easy for people to flirt and re-connect which when you're in a relationship may not be so great.
