Relationships die for a lot of reasons. Facebook could just be that cathartic destination of our love-anxieties. It's a convenient target, organizing memories and suitors and character in a psychologically-exploitative document. I don't think Facebook generates envy, or even facilitates it. It just organizes it. I think if you feel envy and jealousy you're going to spread it out among lots of anxieties or maybe focus it on Facebook—not necessarily experience more of it. Besides, think of all the healthy interactions we get from Facebook. It lets the folks who have a hard time selling themselves in real life advertise their character in an uninhibited way. We get to advertise the pretty sides and the ugly sides of ourselves, if we choose. It's like any form of expression. Generally good I think. Though I did read lately that learning how to broadcast is not the same as learning how to converse, and maybe that's the root poison. It is fundamentally about selling yourself and sharing a lot, which isn't always a healthy thing. Especially for relationships.
