That irked me too but from a purely anecdotal standpoint, I believe the author makes a point when he describes Facebook from the perspective of someone in a relationship. You get such a biased view into other people's lives (because people post happy things way more often than they discuss their real problems on their profiles/pictures) that it's easy to get overwhelmed with the greener-grass feeling. Now I'm not saying it's a reason people get divorces (I won't believe that until I see some stats) but I do believe it has the power to amplify an already existing feeling of displease at your couple or significant other.
