There are always outliers. My mom was 16 when she married my dad. They've been married 33 years. I don't take that as a typical result when a 16 year old marries a 25 year old.

I think it is more common with the previous generation(s) to marry early and stay together. My parents are the same deal where they married basically right out of HS and are still together. I know a ton of people like that. But I also know a ton of people I graduated HS with that got married super early and are already on round 2.

Sounds pretty rough chaos & tarrant. To be honest if I ever got divorced once I would never get married again, don't know how you did two.

I wonder if anyone ever correlated the rise of facebook and the increase in infidelity or divorce.

Wasn't the amount of filings for divorce citing Facebook somewhere in the text astronomically high? Like 75% or something?

I think that speaks more to facebooks ubiquity and people being too stupid to delete their facebook messages than anything sinister about facebook. Facebook does exactly what it is supposed to do, facilitates communication between people. That people use it to be filthy cheaters goes to the nature of people. Might as well outlaw talking, as well, I bet that would cut down on cheating.

I think you're underselling the ease of accessibility. Like someone may not be a cheater but if a hot chick is laying spread eagle on their bed room they may that opportunity.

No one is blaming Facebook, bro. Of course it does what its supposed to. But it sure does play into human nature very well. I man if a woman or man is going to cheat, they are going to cheat regardless what led them there. But the simple fact of so easily connecting to past lovers, sometimes through other friends, one could surmise that some of the infidelity would never happen without Facebook being the propagator.

I bet if you chain them to the wall in your basement they won't cheat either. Not that I'm suggesting that. Just an idea.

If they take that opportunity, they're a cheater. We're just debating how far out of the way they'd go to cheat.

But you don't know if other infidelity would happen in its stead. We'd need a baseline that changes with infidelity. Not a tool for infidelity (etc). Science, bitch

Staying in an awful marriage "for the kids" is the worst reason (and possibly the most destructive) a person can choose.
