She wants me to Leave 3rd Time .....EA Confirmed!

[Zues126]

Social media in my view distorts the real world and facilitates conditions for Spouses to become wayward.

I agree. I shun social media for this reason. I know that there is some upside, and many people feel it is like a tool, neither good nor bad, that it all depends on the user. But people say that about guns too, doesn't mean I want to keep a loaded gun in my nightstand either.

This rant is slightly off topic, but one thing that's bothered me lately is society's acceptance of divorce. I can't change that. Or can I? I can at least cast my vote, right?

I am currently toying with the idea of not being friends with anyone that has initiated a divorce or had an affair. I feel it is my responsibility to cast my vote to reinstate the societal deterrent on these detestable acts. Maybe in this day and age that seems bizarre. I keep coming back to a few things though...I wouldn't be friends with a murderer or rapist either. I'm not saying divorce and affairs are at the same level exactly, but to me they are across the line of what types of people I will allow in my life. And if more people felt this way there might be enough deterrent to make people think twice. Instead it's too convenient to put a heartwarming chicken soup story on facebook and talk about their growth and everyone applauds. It makes me sick. Hell with all of them. I'm out. They can all cheat on each other. I'd rather have 2-3 friends in my life that agree this is garbage than be mr. popular among a group that behaves this way.

Where it is tough is that my father cheated on my mother. I think it is despicable...but you only get one father...and this was decades ago...so I haven't cut him out of my life. I guess this makes me hypocritical. This is why I'm still struggling with this concept. It's not easy.

But back to social media, yeah, it's not the devil, but it sure has potential for disaster. Hard to imagine being able to trust enough to feel comfortable with a partner spending a lot of time on FB. And I don't think I'm paranoid. These days I think I'm just realistic. Anyway, we'll see what the future holds...take care!
