It kinda did for me. I was always insecure when I saw my BF adding all these girls on FB (most of them were people he went to school with )
.. But then again, it helped me catch my BF somewhat cheating.. I had a catfish profile.. added him and he immediately started flirting and said he was single (Military guy stationed in another country)
(Even though he had a dumb GF (me) waiting for him back home. )
I think it ruins them and also complicates the early stages of a relationship as well. How many threads do we see around here involving some poor soul reading too deeply into a FB picture or a tweet? How many guys check the "relationship status" of their girlfriend of FB and freak out when it says "single?" How many girls resent that her boyfriend still has pictures of his ex girlfriend in his photo albums?
Social media can be a great tool or it can be a destructive force. Control and self discipline become even more important. Never jump to conclusions because you risk making yourself look like a jacka$$.
These are truths that were sound before social media proliferated our lives.
If you have trouble seeing things for what they are, yes.
This goes for both seeing things for there actual truth and seeing things for what you want them to be.

Social media was a great tool to help me keep in touch with my now ex.. Maybe it was that infamous “female” intuition but I knew something was off.. I had to put my mind at ease and I was right about him.. It never bugged me that he was still friends with his ex..(maybe because she married the guy she cheated on him with). I probably sound like a psycho for what I did but I had a feeling and I was right. I had asked him before and he denied it but it still felt off..

I'm not blaming you for your little sting operation. Sometimes you need answers and if you don't feel you're getting them, you do what you have to do.

Nope.
Social media did NOT ruin your relationship.
You CHEATING BOYFRIEND did.
Yes. I'm posting here while my poor husband of 31 year makes tee for himself by himself!
