The Anonymous Widower

Facebook Involved in Divorces

It had to happen, that what you write on Facebook, would start to drop you in the mire over your marriage.  One of the reasons, I blog rather than use Facebook seriously, as I have total control over what goes up.  Also if someone uses bad spelling or grammar, I can remove the worst of the horrors. C also did some of her training in libel chambers, so I know enough to hopefully make sure, I stay the right side of that line. I also choose my targets with care.

This article in the Telegraph explains the problem of divorce and Facebook.

One lawyer is quoted as saying.

Many of divorces came after partners found “flirty messages” on the Facebook wall of their partner – and also “inappropriate suggestive chats” which spouses can see.

Note that I’ve corrected the punctuation in this extract. Times must be bad when you can’t rely on the Tory Party at Gossip.

As a widow, some would be surprised at some of the messages, I’ve exchanged with other widows. Flirting and the odd suggestion are very much part of life and help everybody to keep a balance in the darkest of times.

So that adds another layer of complexity to the problem and puts more icing on the legal bill.
