However, you also don’t have to stay in damaging relationships.

Could Facebook end a marriage?

Social media doesn’t end a marriage, but might worsen existing issues.

Facebook doesn’t make people cheat, but can make it easier for someone to find ways to cheat. A relationship can’t flourish without trust. However, trust breaks when you don’t trust your partner’s social media.
