rosen s firm represented my ex during the divorce proceedings. and it probably cost her $25-30K. me??..........less than $2,500.

the social networks provide an opportunity.......to escape nagging, to get the physical needs attended to, etc.

as for marriage, its for women, by women, and about women........command and control.

i dont regret any of my dallying and i m dang glad i m divorced now. life is good.

Well the old saying is true. "If they are happy at home then they won't be looking outside."

What a load of baloney...try telling that to a judge when they're awarding the jilted spouse alimony, child/spousal support, or a multimillion dollar settlement against the cheating spouses lover for alienation of affection and criminal conversation(both of which the state of North Carolina recognizes)...tell a judge that and see what they say. If someone is going to cheat, they're going to do it because thats what they want to do. If you are that unhappy, either do what you can to fix it or walk away. Don't blame it on the spouse and make it a reason to cheat.

Tip: Don't get married.

To "Scot" from the news report last night... I saw your shadow, all 350lbs of it and your 3 chins to boot. Trust me, dude, FaceBook was not what caused your wife to stray.

Soyousay "me..prove we have nothing to hide.

you have to prove that?"

No, I do not have to prove that, but we both choose to. Openness and honesty in a relationship keeps out the bad thoughts, feelings, and worries.

Oh, naw he didn't!

I quarantee that the man they interviewed was having marital problems longgg before his wife got on facebook....he can blame it on facebook if he wants too and everyone can believe that if they want too...

"According to enrichment journal on the divorce rates in America, the divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%; the divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%; the divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%."

"The divorce rate in America is more than 50%, which means one in two couples will break up."

"Various studies on US Divorce rate show significant differences when a comparison is made in 1st, 2nd and 3rd marriage, divorce rate in America. Divorce rate in America after first marriage is from 41% to 50%. US divorce rate after second marriage is from 60% to 67% After 3 marriages the US divorce rate is from 73% to 74%

fatchanceimwrong: You are missing the point. Your statistic is not accurate and therefore certainly does not reflect your statement of marriage failing more than it works. It is simply not true.

I have 5 or 6 ex girlfriends on facebook and it's not even the slightest temptation to me. My wife hangs out with one of them and I like one of her exes very much. If you thought enough of someone to date them, they were also a good friend at a time in your life.

Many people happen to use facebook as a tool for cheating, but it's not automatic.
