Divorce lawyer James Sexton offers another reason to get off of Facebook--it
tempts you to cheat on your partner: [bold added]
Facebook is the single greatest breeding ground ever for infidelity. Nothing that has come before — not swingers’ clubs and key parties, not chat rooms, not workplace temptations, not Ashley Madison, Tinder or Grindr; no, not even porn — comes within a thousand miles.

There’s a popular saying in Alcoholics Anonymous, meant to discourage people in recovery from hanging around bars: “If you sit in a barbershop long enough, eventually you’re going to get a haircut.”
Quit Facebook. You don’t need the temptation and you don’t need to create the temptation for someone else. Let the past be the past.
The internet has conferred enormous benefits, but it has made a few bad things worse.
