"How Has the ‘Digital Fishbowl’ Complicated Your Love Life?"

Over the last few years, Facebook has definitely transformed communication and social interaction between people. On Facebook, people can be single, in a relationship or "it's complicated." Now, it's redefining things like breaking up and getting together and a relationship in general. Now your beloved partner can see everything you post, what people send to you on your "walls," and your pictures. Both of you can send sweet nothings to each other 24/7 and best of all, everyone can see it. What else could possibly be more fun than letting everyone on Facebook know how much you love your boy or girlfriend?

Now, in this aspect, it creates a more communicative relationship. However, this is only via the internet. Perhaps, in reality, you might be a tad more shy and less talkative when you're actually around that special person. Facebook can bring together two people, but it can also distance them. Not only that, but it has also provided a new way to break up.

There have been infamous ways of breaking up with a person; including breaking up via text, email or instant-messaging. On Facebook, you can simply break off your relationship status as a way to tell your (soon-to-be-ex) boy or girlfriend that you're over. Facebook has definitely impaired some relationships on the communication in real life situation, but can also re-kindle relationships with forgotten or old friends. Then again, who wants that?
