I don’t have a particular story but from my experience it seems over the past two decades people have less and less social skills. We have learned to rely so much on electronic devices in communicating that many have little or no person to person social skills. The word ETIQUETTE comes to mind.

Facebook nearly ruined my marriage, I got back in touch with an ex bf and I kept speaking to him on fb then we exchanged phone numbers and started texting each. My husband found out and we had huge rows and we are only just getting back on track. We now share 1 facebook between us as the trust is all bet gone, also I don’t have a mobile a phone now. I am gradually trying to earn the trust of my husband back.
