Do you think facebook ruins relationships? If so, why? I believe that they do! Some people take things to seriously.

yes and no. depends on how you use it. some people use it get noticed by their friends negatively. while some use it to express their feelings positively. so it depends on the user. i know some annoying people who fights and posts their foul languages on their walls for everyone to see. not such good people i would say!

That makes sense. I have seen facebook ruin a few relationships because they look to much into the information their significant others' friends write or profile pictures. For instance, one man got mad because his wife's friend used a picture of him having his shirt off as his profile picture. I thought that was just dumb because she can't control what pictures her friends use as their profile pictures. Would you agree?

It is not just ruin a relationship. In my country, it was help people too. try to search "Prita muliasari" and you'll see how FB's member drive people to collect almost a billion rupiah (about USD 100K) to help her case againts OMNI.

Facebook is the website where we could chat with unknown friends,make friends throughout the world,post the comment and update our status.Like wise when we chat we get different friends with a different character.Once i fall blindly in love with a guy.I gave my number and we used to contact always.I told lies that i love him and i told lies that i am from such and such place and i do training.He believe me and one day he came to met me.I was confused what to tell and made me so shy.He still used to call me now also.

Don't want to say it ruins relationships but certainly can put a strain on them. There is nothing like signing on and seeing some you are in a relationship with friending people that would certainly be questionable at least. We were discussing this at work a while back that with fact that people post pictures in some rather provocative/suggestive situations that can be seen/commented on people often make bad choices that could hurt their relationship.

Relationship with whom actually? Ahm lets say my girlfriend. I dont think i ruin my relationship with here by FACEBOOK-ing. We always log on facebook and we always enjoy playing game here. It is a mutual feeling that for us wanting facebook. Facebook shouldnt be the reason of ruining relationship. =)
