The Last To Know
Posted in Random by: Lottie“Husband dumps his wife with online message in ‘world’s first divorce by Facebook’.”
You might remember when Facebook tried to destroy my relationship but this one is for real.
A husband posted his intention to divorce his wife on his Facebook account before discussing the matter with his wife. 
What the wife had to say:
“The first I knew about it was when I received a phone call at work from my best friend, who lives in Denmark. She asked me if I was okay because of what Neil had put on Facebook – ‘Neil Brady has ended his marriage to Emma Brady. I was shell-shocked. ‘I have had people who I haven’t spoken to for years contacting me asking what is going on.
“What upset me the most was not the fact that Neil had written he had ended his marriage, but the comment from a girl in Canada who said: ‘You are better off out of it’. It hurt me that he had been speaking to someone else about it.”
Now breaking up is hard to do, I know that. I’ve heard of people breaking up by email or even text but breaking up on Facebook? It’s just too cold.

I’ve decided that when I break up with Darren it’s going to be through Facebook. It’s no more than he deserves.
