Are wives/girls leaving their husbands/boyfriends in droves right now?
Is it normal for pre-holidays? Is it something else? What's going on? A week or two ago there was a thread about women's cycles going haywire/doubling up and now it seems people are being left/dumped like crazy. Is it musical chairs where the girls all run to some greener pasture, or earth changes, or all guys suddenly become unloveable or worthless at the same time? What's happening?

Funny, you mention this - I've seen a lot of my FB friends changing their relationship status - including my aunt today. You may be on to something.

Not sure the point here - are you saying that yes they are leaving in droves and it's because they want to find older men who don't use computers or watch TV?

Money is the number one factor in ruining relationships. The economy, no doubt is making a major impact. No job = single.

I'm middle aged but I left him.

With what time is left i had ENOUGH? I'm just sick and tired of taking care of a bum who sits around and does nothing. Won't help with anything around the house and has the nerve to ask me what's for dinner when I get off work. I pay the bills and he spends his social security on himself.

And he thinks his sex is good?!? Just ain't worth it anymore.

Divorce rate continues to go up, mostly from things like social media sites and money problems. People don't stick it out anymore, first sign of trouble they jump ship. I have a friend who constantly complains about her husband. I think she watches too much reality TV, I am sure she will be divorced as she really thinks that the grass is greener elsewhere. It tales two to tango, yet most people always blame the other for things falling apart.

Also, Pokerface's testimony would seem to validate the previous poster's comment that financial hardships are playing a part in at least some of this mass exodus.

most women never leave a man until they have another lined up or until it is a perfect time for them to leave. If a man is a lazy slob who treats his wife bad, he will never see it coming when she leaves.

not just now, but many now jumping ship for promises from the bigger better deal they think they have up their sleeve.
maybe it's because they dont want to spend their money on someone they no longer like, and maybe its to garner sympathy from their friends and the courts.
As long as theyre vested with enough time or a brat or two and can go for support, it's on, and youre off...

Not around here. My friends encourage each other to work through the differences, especially if children are involved. If it's a violent situation, the opposite is true.

Actually I myself have not as I never, as in never, watch television. I also do not use social networking sites which is why I inquire as to how they are helping to break people up. Do the breakups happen through Facebook or as a result of it, and what happens on Facebook that destroys the relationship?

well imho, Facebook is like a dating site for married people or people already in a relationship. Where else can you justify having everyone you've ever known and maybe been 'interested in' or former lovers in one easy location? People justify it because everyone is doing it. If you are married and you value your marriage and partner, there is no way in hell you would allow 100s of people of the opposite sex in your friends list. Women who live on facebook are bored and love to stir shit up with drama. Men who use it are looking for one thing, a hookup or to move in on someone who is already taken.

Ask yourself this... what the eff did people do to meet before the internet? Its become an easy way to become too flirty or worse, to get into an emotional affair that often leads to adultery and broken hearts.

just what the powers that be want... the broken family.

My husband left me and my kids a few months ago...Went psycho, started trying to commit suicide, took up drinking full time, quit his good job of more than six years and moved out of the house...the most bizarre behavior I have ever seen in my life...We had only just been married a few months...

It's not just women going nutso and leaving their relationships...

I think it's a generational thing...I'm in my late 30's, and people my age and younger seem to just want to quit at the first sign of hard times...people don't have the foresight to see that things will get better. They seem to think that what is happening RIGHT NOW is always going to be happening...I don't know. I don't think like that. I'm having such a hard time wrapping my mind around my situation.

People are crazier than normal right now...that's for sure.

my husband and I were noticing the huge increase in all the dating ads, especially the 'christian dating sites' on TV. we were actually laughing because so many people bitch an moan about being married and all its drawbacks, yet dating site use is at an all time high. EVERYONE wants someone, that is clear, yet when they find someone they fuck it up.

I once had a friend who broke up with her boyfriend and then got back together with him only to find out he had joined a dating site. so then she could never really trust him that he was done with 'looking', in fact she found out he went on a couple of dates and the girl was on his facebook. Man, it must suck to be single and looking, its so depressing to think that even if you find someone on one of those places, how do you know they won't keep going back and looking for someone better than you? For me, meeting someone has always been about chemistry; like body language, voice and overall appearance. dating sites seem so vanilla and vacant.

Yep, agreed. No married person should put themselves in any situation where the attention of someone of the opposite sex becomes more important than or could take the place of the attention of their spouse.

I'm old fashioned...I won't have male friends when I'm in a relationship that don't include my significant other. I would never in a million years put myself in that type of situation. Couples should have shared friends...I have seen fb ruin soooo many relationships...people hook up with exes or someone they had a crush on in high school. Why would a sane married person do that?

Ugh!
