Facebook + Relationships = Drama?
Facebook seemed to take off when I started my freshman year of college at SUNY Potsdam. If you didn’t have a Facebook, chances are that you were harassed until you got one. There are some great benefits to the social networking site. Facebook allows you to pretty much upload everything and anything about your life, including your relationship status. Ever hear someone say, “It’s not official until it’s on Facebook!” I’ve heard this phrase used many times when it comes to Facebook and relationships: If your relationship isn’t public for everyone to see, then it doesn’t exist yet.
This brings me to my question: Does Facebook change the way we see relationships? Not only am I thinking about the start of a relationship, but what about the dreaded break up? Do you delete all of the photos you’ve posted with this person or just un-tag them? Usually with a break up comes the “Insert name here is no longer in a relationship.” What if someone “likes” the fact that you’ve just gotten dumped? You could go from worrying about what people might say in school, to literally being able to read what they have to say all because of Facebook.
Does Facebook cause drama when it comes to relationships? Have you personally been through something like this, or maybe seen it happen to someone else? Or has Facebook become such a normal part of like that it really doesn’t affect relationships at all? What’s your opinion?
