How many relationships fail because of facebook
The Real Reason Facebook Causes One-Third Of Divorces
Ah, Facebook. The social networking site that's fast becoming not just a thorn in our backsides, but the bane of our existence.
If Facebook isn't selling your private information to companies, then it's breaking up happy marriages. What was once a tool for sharing party pics and finding long-lost friends is now the reason behind many divorces — and we're not even going to mention its part in the online stalking of ex-boyfriends, or even current ones for that matter.

In 2018, A U.K. divorce site found that 20 percent of "behavior petitions" (which is British lingo for "reasons to file for divorce") contained the word "Facebook" in them, meaning that the site was in some way to blame for the marriage's dissolution. Just a couple of years later, that percentage jumped to 33 percent.
But do we know how Facebook causes divorce?

Well, not surprisingly, learning the number-one reason why Facebook was at fault in these cases was due to "inappropriate messages to members of the opposite sex. " It seems that people have yet to learn to make sexual and flirty comments through personal email as opposed to a Facebook wall for all the world (and significant others) to see.
In cases where the couples had separated but had yet to divorce, the once happily married folks were turning to Facebook to post nasty comments about each other. Well, if you can't shout how much you hate somebody from the rooftops, you might as well post it on their wall.
Another reason for how Facebook causes divorce is due to Facebook friends, or rather "friends," who took it upon themselves to rat out spouses who may have been getting a little too friendly on the social media site. Y
You know, because if you're married to Bobby and he's friends with Sally, but you're not friends with Sally, but you're all friends with Lily, then Lily is going to be privy to posts and statuses that you are not — that's why Lily is going to fill you in. Lily is a nice friend.

One can't help but wonder exactly what the IQ might be of someone who is either publicly cheating or publicly disparaging their significant other. Neither choice is very sane or discreet and, in the end, the partner using Facebook as if it were a weapon or a meat market is the one who looks like a jerk. But common sense can't be everyone's strong suit.

Why Social Media Causes Divorces, And 7 Ways It's Ruining Your Relationship
Life

Although according to U.S. Rates and Statistics, the divorce rate has been on the decline since 1980, the fact remains that there are people out there still getting divorced. While it may not be as high as the 50 percent rate that has long become the go-to stat, no marriage is perfect which means no marriage is safe from divorce. While experts try to predict what leads to divorce as means to lessen the amount of them, in the past few years there's been a new factor: social media is a reason why people get divorced.
You may think that your little flirtations with your crush from high school are NBD, but the truth is that some partners don’t like that behavior. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship or married, Facebook, and the Internet in general, can be sources of temptation and drama. According to family law firm McKinley Irvin’s new infographic, with one in three marriages ending because of an online affair, Facebook and Match.
com are playing big rolls in the reason people divorce. And the problem with Facebook is that the evidence is all right there ― unless you’re smart enough to delete your tracks, of course.
From jealousy to creeping in on their partner’s social media accounts to divorce because of online behavior, here are seven ways social media is ruining your relationship.
1. More Than 10 Percent Of People Say Facebook Is A Source Of Jealousy And Danger
According to 15 percent of people, social media is absolutely dangerous to their marriage, while 16 percent can point their fingers to Facebook as causing jealousy in their relationship. The threat is so real that 14 percent of adults admit to combing through their partner’s social media accounts looking for evidence of cheating, virtual or otherwise.
2. Facebook Usage Is The One Reason Couples Fight
As the McKinley Irvin study found, it’s not just what a partner does on social media (liking every photo of their ex, maybe?), but the amount of time they spend on it.
When it comes to the biggest arguments in couples about social media, the complaint is always how much time a partner wastes on it.
3. A Third Of People Keep Their Social Media Passwords From Their Partners
While marriage is supposed to be about everything, for a third of social media users, keeping their passwords private from the prying eyes of their partners is a must. The study also found that one in 10 of adults admit to hiding certain posts or message from their partners on Facebook.
4. Less Than 10 Percent Have Secret Social Media Accounts
For those who are just tired of hiding their behavior on social media from their partner, getting really sneaky is the best way to go. It’s that group, eight percent of adults, who just have a secret social media account all together. At least that way they can’t feel bad about hiding posts or changing their password every other day to really make sure their partner is clueless, right?
5. A Quarter Of Couples Fight About Facebook Weekly
Whether it’s because of Facebook usage or a partner’s behavior on it, for 25 percent of couples Facebook causes a fight at least once a week.
People are fighting about it so often, that Facebook leads to confrontation in one in seven married couples, forcing the discussion of divorce to come up.
6. A Fifth Of People Doubt Their Relationship Because Of What They’ve Found On Facebook
According to the study, one in five people have found something on Facebook regarding their partner that has made them feel “uneasy” in their relationship. But despite that less than half of spouses confront their spouses about their discovery.
7. Majority Of Lawyers Use Social Media Evidence In Divorce Cases
As McKinley Irvin points out, what a partner “shares” on online can also be shared in a courtroom during a divorce case. In fact, 81 percent of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers have used social media as evidence in cases, with the top three being state of mind while being on social media, communications on it, and the time and place of said events.

Facebook knows when you will start a romantic relationship, about 100 days before they start

According to Facebook statistics, you can track the beginning of a romantic relationship even before they officially begin. In 2014, the Facebook data scientist team published the results of their research on this topic.
Polina Todorova nine0003
When two people form a relationship, writes Facebook expert Carlos Diuk, they enter a courtship period during which they post more. When they officially become a couple, the number of publications on their walls decreases - perhaps because the happy couple prefers to spend more time together in real life.
Diuk gives accurate Facebook statistics:
In the first 100 days before the start of a relationship, a slow but steady increase in the number of publications that the future couple exchanges can be noted. Once the initial relationship is established, the number of posts goes down. 12 days before the start of the relationship, the maximum number of posts per day is 1.67 posts, and 85 days after the official start of the relationship, this number drops to 1.53 posts per day.
It is likely that by the time the couple decides to spend more time together, the courtship period is over, and online communication has been supplanted by relationships in the real world. nine0003
All of these data are summarized in the graph below. The number of postings on the wall gradually rises and falls as the relationship becomes official.

Other information about relationships can be found in Facebook statistics, such as how long a relationship lasts or how love is related to religion and age. But this study is perhaps the most interesting, because each of us has probably witnessed relationships in a social network. nine0003
According to Diuk, when people form formal relationships, their Facebook posts decrease, but the content of those posts becomes more joyful.
“In general, the mood of the posts improves after the zero day of the relationship, and on the first day it jumps up sharply!” he said.
Below is a graph where you can see all the changes.

Of course, the analysis of the emotional coloring of publications cannot be called an exact scientific study. After all, robots may not notice sarcasm in posts. However, the statistics are often interesting. nine0003
The analytics team used various methods to improve the data. For example, to keep fake relationships out of the statistics, they analyzed information only about couples who “announced their anniversary” between April 2010 and October 2013. That is, the statistics did not take into account all the couples who simply changed their status on the social network. As for the analysis of the emotional coloring of publications, only posts in English were taken into account. nine0003

I leafed through a large article from Cloudflare about today's fall of Facebook and decided to write my own - much simpler. On October 4, at approximately 19:45 Moscow time, Facebook and almost all of its external and internal services collapsed deafeningly. Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp were lying, corporate and business services of Facebook were lying, neither sites nor mobile applications were responding.
What happened
Apparently, one of the network administrators made changes to the configuration of the Facebook network - and in such a way that most of this network ceased to exist. nine0003
The Internet, which many consider to be a single network, is actually made up of a large number of smaller networks, in fact, it is a grid of grids. In order for information from one subnet to get into another, a system for exchanging information about the configuration and location of nodes in subnets was built, routers exchange information with each other about the location of their subordinate networks using the BGP protocol.
So, one of these subnets announced to everyone inside and outside that part of the Facebook network is no longer with it. It so happened that it was in this subnet that the NS-servers responsible for the domains owned by the company lived. So, starting from some point, everyone who tried to find out what IP address facebook.
com was on began to receive an empty response. The consequences are predictable: Facebook and all its services do not work for users, external and internal. nine0003
Why did the services not work for so long
At the same time, Facebook employees found themselves in an unenviable position:
- All the company's internal resources, including instant messengers and corporate address books, are inaccessible.
- It is impossible to enter the office (some offices were allowed only with badges that are tied to Internet authorization).
- Lost almost all usual means of communication. nine0155
On top of that, most of the problems could only be solved with physical access to the servers, which is significantly complicated by the usual relaxation of remote work. The first signs of system recovery could be noticed after 12 at night, that is, after three hours of deafening silence.
