8 Ways To Celebrate Valentine's Day Without Going Broke
Last week, a new study said that using Facebook to check up on your significant other can actually incite jealousy that you wouldn't normally feel without it. Facebook offers a new level of transparency; it's hard not to see whom boyfriends are talking to (i.e. reading through his wall-to-walls with overly flirtatious females -- that "miss you! xoxo" is so unnecessary).
One reader writes, "I can testify to Facebook ruining relationships. I recently had a bad breakup with a guy I met through Facebook. Both of us became paranoid through looking at each other's profiles and over-thinking everything we saw."
On the other hand, though, maybe a truly healthy relationship shouldn't be affected by Facebook. Another reader says, "Sorry, crazy people ruin relationships, not going on Facebook and leaving posts to their significant others."
Tell us: Am I the only one who's clicked through all 547 of his tagged photos multiple times? Has Facebook ever caused problems in your relationship?

Please....I used to love Facebook to no end...but then actually being a victim of being stalked and accused....I am not such a fan anymore. I was seeing this guy and we were getting close...and he was ?ing me on everyone that was saying "Hi..miss you" much to his dismay they were only people I graduated with or who moved away. Totally innocent...But when it came to him...and I simply asked..."who are these girls leaving you these "sweet nothings" he relpied the same I did to him...and then some of the selected girls..emailed me or even had friends of friends request me as their friend.....WHAT DRAMA! Who the hell needs it! LIVE YOUR LIFE...and keep your guard up!

I think facebook is great. My husband and I both use it and I could care less who friends him and vice versa. I have reconnected with friends from my past and just love it. Occasionally, I have someone I don't know "friend" me and I ignore it. Overall, it's been a great way to stay connected with people without having to talk on the phone, which I hate. I am finding things out about my good friends and acquantainces I never knew and have fun sharing my own experiences. Try it, you won't be dissapointed!

Funny story,
Guy I was dating for about 2 years said he was heading to the pub with a few of his guy friends...didn't think twice about it. Scrolling through my fb news feed, and turns out he's tagged in a group photo outside a strip club with one of his buddies, and 10 Hooters girls. Facebook = BUSTED!

So he really went to a pub with one of his guy friend. So What!? I don't get the "BUSTED" part. Please women, let your Man be a man. Allow him to exhale his testosterone and recharge his manhood when he goes out on a "guys excursion" if you want him to stay the caring "metrosexual" whose massage and touch you adore so much, 'caus' things may be that you would not get on a pole for him and... yeah 10 hooters girls you said? 100% sure he's not dating anyone of them, but LUCKY GUYS!
