Could Facebook be a potential problem?

user

I know this guy whose married to someone very close to me, but he's always on Facebook complaining about her and talking with other girls from his past.  He's always talking about how she gives him this super like honey-do list when she's the one cleaning the close, taking care of their two kids, cleaning the house, and, not only that, working to his every whim.  He's taking advantage of her status as wife.  That doesn't mean that she is his maid.  When he comes home from work as a service rider he sits around smoking cigs and watching television, sometimes in his room playing on facebook, while my friend is working with her son and daughter, and making food so that they have something to eat for dinner.


Of course, my main concrn if his constantly being on Facebook and not caring a rats ass about his family could cause a lot of issues.  Especially when he makes comments about how he works so hard at home and has a really long honey-do list when he just sits there being a lazy bum.  Along with that, they already have marrital issues.  Most of the time, this man is on Facebook talking to ex-girlfriends, friends, and people who have devorced or are going through a divorce.  Many of the things he says lead them to believe that my friend and him need marriage couseling, which if he'd actually cared enough to listen to her he'd know what he could help her with to get her to be content.  He thinks he does nothing wrong.  He is very open with some of his "girl" friends that are on his Facebook.


What I'm Curious about Facebook is it possible it might ruin their relationship more that it already is?

    Obviously your friend is married to a dumbass that's trying to escape reality like a child. Good luck to her marriage...if she knows what's good for her she'll pack her bags and go, then tell him to blog about it.

    Yes. Infact, facebook could be a kinetic problem!

    Once one identifies a problem, I believe in fleeing.

    Do I think Facebook is a problem? No, I think he is. While the internet does make it easier for bad people to be worse it's important to remember that they were still bad people to begin with. I think this guy's lack of appreciation of his wife, his insinuated lack of involvement with his own kids, and cheating ways (cheating isn't always physical) are a potential problem. If Facebook wasn't around this type of guy still would be out there at the local bar behaving just the same claiming to be working late.

    Yes it is coming between their relationship and he is making it/them a priority and not his family, if he has issues or problems he needs to bring it to the wife and work it out, if I was her or you I would feel the same. She is neglected, the family is neglected while he is playing online. Only a matter of time before it explodes.

    I think Facebook just adds to something. I mean, he'll get on Facebook and help his friend when they ask quicker than he would his wife. He is quite an ass. P.s. I appreciate the comments. (:

    I also agree he's the problem not Facebook. And he's trying awfully hard to get someone's attention. I mean most men "looking for someone else" will use phrases like this - I do "all" the work! I come home from a hard days work and have to do this n that etc...

    He's trying desperately to appear like the "perfect" catch. When meanwhile he's a complete and total idiot and I can't dread to think the poor female who falls for this thinking this mans for real. I just hope that's not the case nor does this happen but he's out to do wrong. Again, why lie or even give out details as to what you do in your home and what your wife doesn't. That's personal and he's crossed a thin line between husband and wife.

    I hope your friend and her children will be fine - even when he's long gone. Continue to be a good friend to her - she's going to need one.

    I'm unclear as to if you have told her about what you know or not. At any rate, if she chooses to stay where she is that's going to be her issue and problem, not yours. All you can do is support her decision and I would advise you to stop driving yourself crazy by reading and/or looking at his Facebook page. The problem is between the two of them and whether or not he uses Facebook I doubt makes much of a difference.
