Online affection has become a part of relationships, because it has become such a big part of our daily lives.<br /><br />As my Tweetfest the other day showed, there are so many little ways that your man can show he cares (offline, online, in person, in 'reality') - and those little things create the dynamic and type of relationship you share.<br /><br />Great post, Lady!Jenny Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102747469079003760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151161123103410142.post-70822157803235390502011-06-02T23:07:30.081-04:002011-06-02T23:07:30.081-04:00Moxie!!

Totally agree that Facebook can be the deadliest weapon of all because it truly has become public humiliation.<br /><br />One of my guy friends dated a girl for four years and they just broke up. In an attempt to make a "clean break" (although that is sort of an oxymoron) he untagged himself out of all of her pictures. They just got back together a few weeks ago and had to retag himself in all of her pictures and all of our friends gave him so much SHIT, commenting on the pictures and calling him out on his wall. Keep in mind this is all in front of him co-workers and his parents who are all linked to him on Facebook. FAIL<br /><br />Bottom line: like a reality tv show you can edit your Facebook profile to say or show whatever you want but that doesn't mean it's real.Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805843619746282504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151161123103410142.post-73163029634520268812011-06-02T17:57:37.019-04:002011-06-02T17:57:37.019-04:00This is aptly timed.

I was shocked at what I saw. <br /><br />It was a picture of him and his "new girlfriend." He had just broken up with his LT/Live in girlfriend of about 3 years in December, and I think - based on conversations we had had just a month ago - he began dating the new woman in April. The minute I saw it I thought of his ex and how that must have devastated her. His ex and I have mutual FB friends, so I looked at her page. Sure enough, she had changed her profile photo this week to be of her and some guy. I had to laugh at the drama of it all, but then I remembered what it was like to see your ex with someone else, even months later. <br /><br />I felt bad for her. Dating someone a month or two, just a few months after you break up with a long term partner, and making a photo of you kissing your new GF/BF your primary profile pic? Just seems cruel and passive aggressive. Like he was saying "See how happy I am now????"<br /><br />There's so many downsides to Facebook and Twitter in regards to dating. It just feels like people use both platforms as a way to stick it to their exes.AndThatsWhyYoureSinglehttp://andthatswhyyouresingle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151161123103410142.post-84129506986167515892011-06-02T17:21:37.465-04:002011-06-02T17:21:37.465-04:00100% I love that and it totally happens.
