MFP and significant others poll

It's not FB or MFP that break up relationships, it's lack of respect or trust within the relationship that breaks it up. And no, it hasn't messed up my relationship!

^^^THIS. Everytime people would say or articles would be writeen about FB busting up marriages, I thought it was malarky. If its going to happen, its going to happen....

For the record, neither have or ever would mess my marriage up. We can do bad all on our own. I keed, we're good. Just thought I would see what others thought....

I'm actually quite suprised at how many MFPers feel the same - that it's the relationship that does the breaking. It seems like a lot of times folks do try to blame the 'webz on that shiz.

Then they're blind and don't want to see the truth. My ex still fails to admit how horribly he treated me. He blames the internet.

it hasnt mine and i believe that if it affects anone's marriage then your marriage wasnt as solid as it should have been and youre just looking for a way out....allthe whorish activities go on because people are as self confidnet in real life...its easy to have some guy/girl on MFP/FB tell you how hot you are when your husband/wife isnt telling you....

If not, do you think it has the potentional to break up a marriage or relationship? If so, why or how?

***NO JUDGMENTS HERE, JUST CURIOUS***

If a website breaks up your marriage I think it was doomed already the website just speeds up the process. NO website could break up my mariage. WE are extremely close and sooooooooooo different.

This. I would like to say it a little different though. It's not a website that breaks up people. It's PEOPLE that ruin relationships. People (whether the ones in the relationship or ones flirting/going after people in relationships) don't respect the relationship and go looking for something else (in the relationship) or interact inappropriately with some one in a relationship. If you are unhappy in a relationship, put your grown up pants on and GET OUT OF IT then go looking for something else. And don't go messin around with people in relationships, I don't care how bad it is. If someone would sneak around with you while with someone else they would do it to you as well. I just don't get people that don't respect someone's relationship or their own. I personally don't think that people in relationships should have any kind of friendship or relationship with any one else of the opposite sex on a one on one basis. It is a dangerous spot to be in cause it open possibilities. To many people these days. when things get tough, instead of working it out they just start looking else where...it seems like finding people who are truly committed to making a relationship work these days is a tough job. A relationship takes WORK! ok sorry for the soap box!!! LOL ......Just, if one wants someone else, isn't getting what they need in their current spot and needs more then just do you BOTH a favor and end it THEN move on. Maybe you could still be friends at least..

My view on this is that if you don't trust each other to have other friends and to build relationships with other people online, then you really aren't looking out for their best interests and your relationship is not going to work out anyway. If someone is going to cheat online, they are likely going to do it IRL so its a matter of time really.

So the fact that I'm bisexual means I shouldn't have any friends that I hang out with alone because its possible that I might cheat? I would dump anyone so quick that didn't trust me enough to be alone with a member of the opposite sex.

People will always find a way to cheat. MFP or facebook is not the reason people cheat; it's the venue.
