Facebook is the most used social media site in the world, with close to 2 billion monthly active users. With such a crowd in one place, the opportunities for those who want to cheat are endless. Some may say Facebook even encourages it, especially with the new option “secret conversation.” The option is available in the Facebook Messenger, and when the user initiates the conversation, he will only be able to see it on the device on which the conversation started at the first place. On all other devices, when the user logs into the Facebook account, the conversation will be nonexistent.
Facebook has a big role in cheating, but also in divorces. 20% of divorces in the United States have Facebook involved in some way. More than 60% of attorneys, members of American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, said that they have used evidence from Facebook in building their cases. One ridiculous case linking divorce and Facebook happened in India. The woman there decided to file for divorce after her husband didn’t change his Facebook status from single to married after they married. It didn’t help that her husband said it just slipped his mind. After this, his wife told the court that she just couldn’t trust him anymore.
The interesting thing is that even celebrities engage in cheating on Facebook. One of the cases includes actress Eva Longoria and San Antonio Spurs’ point guard Tony Parker. After a marriage that lasted 4 years, the two got divorced. According to Longoria, the reason was that her husband cheated on her with a woman he talked on Facebook.
Sometimes it isn’t hard to figure if someone is cheating on you on Facebook. People tend to expose themselves in one or another way. Just Google “Facebook cheater fails” and you’ll see what we mean. According to one survey that surfaced online, 41% of people that have cheated said that Facebook was one to blame for why they were caught. On the other hand, if your partner is cautious enough, you’ll have to try a bit harder. This is why we gathered some insights on how to tell if someone is cheating on you on Facebook. Let’s check them out.
