Those who have strong fascination for the social media sites and have fancy ideas of their activities on Facebook should think twice as according to a research it can spoil their romantic space with partners.
According, a doctoral student in the University of Missouri School of Journalism Russell Clayton, the excessive Facebook activities may enhance the chances of conflicts with their romantic partners. This may end with emotional and physical cheating breakup and divorce along with other negative outcomes.
The survey polled Facebook users aged between 18 and 82 and found that high levels of Facebook use among couples significantly predicted Facebook-related conflicts.
"Previous research has shown that the more a person in a romantic relationship uses Facebook, the more likely they are to monitor their partner's Facebook activity more stringently, which can lead to feelings of jealousy," Clayton said.
The study observes that excessive activities on Facebook induce jealousy which results in arguments concerning past partners.
“Also, our study found that excessive Facebook users are more likely to connect or reconnect with other Facebook users, including previous partners, which may lead to emotional and physical cheating", the survey observes.
He survey talked to couples who had been in relationships of three years or less.
"This suggests that Facebook may be a threat to relationships that are not fully matured. On the other hand, participants who have been in relationships for longer than three years may not use Facebook as often, or may have more matured relationships, and therefore Facebook use may not be a threat or concern", Clayton said.
