Quiting Facebook was the best thing i have ever done, its the biggest waste of time and there are much better things to do.

Has anyone seen my wife? The last known sighting of her was in Frontierville on March 6, 2011

You know you are/were, (I have deactivated for good), addicted when you read this site's comments and you keep looking for the "like" button. And that you looked up this article by subject to see if you were the only one that fb had taken over your life like an electronic monster. Good riddance. I am really enjoying reality again.

Dear anonymous:

let me tell you the golden years suck....................out loud!

I too have a retired husband who spends more time on FB then with me. We fight over it constantly. Just today he was on for 3 hrs. We leave for 2 hr. The first thing he does is turn on FB and he's been there since.

I'm at my wits end with the stuff! When I try to talk to him about it he says its my promblem, are you jealous of me or something?

Its not jealously it's his attention that I want! DUHHHH

But like you mentioned in your post his FB friends are way important then us!!!!!!!

Give meyour email and maybe we could be friends. Let us stay up all night and chat. Lets see if they like it or even notice. My bets on the later one.

Chow

I deactivated my account after 2 years on the FB.
I've been doubting about this for a long time .... people post things, reply ... and a lot of those things are misunderstood by some people.
On my birthday I saw the redemption light ... I got up real early that day because I had a lot of things to do.
That WHOLE day I saw and heard none of my friends ... but when I logged in at 10am ... I already had 22 notifications ..... a few hours later ... I had another 19 ... first I thought that was cool / ... but then I realised FB had a "birthday-reminder" ..... all of a sudden .... FACE book became FAKE book to me.

Positive things about FB are :
- you can see where the party is at (but you can do that in different ways too)
- you can keep in touch with people that you don't want to (or can't ) see very often
- you can download pictures
- it has birthday reminder

F*CK IT ALL !!

LIFE IS OUT THERE !!!

In my case it's my husband who can't stay away from Facebook. It's regular work, work on his old cars in the gagage and then into the house on the computer till I just go to bed, alone. Two people in the same room, sitting almost side by side and never talking. First it was My Space, constant fights, he finally gave that up and now it's Facebook. We had problems before but this only makes them worse. I might as well live alone for all the interaction I get from him. His Facebook groupies are waayy more important. If you're not there yet, let me tell you the golden years suck....................out loud!

OMG! There is a disorder for EVERYTHING now... This is effing hilarous!!! hahaha!!! Don't buy the bull****... You'll get sucked into a drug trap.

i hate this addiction cause it makes u wanna keep checking your email just to see if anybody replied or written something on you wall, pics, etc. . i want to be able to live without it but its so fun and it just sucks that its become like #1 communication source.

The face book or any other site to lure people to look at other peole for sexual pleasure is very disturbing. Some men do not care if they find young girls under 21 that are young enough to be their daughters age. These men stalk pretty young girls just to see if the girls would be interested in them This makes them aroused and daily they get their kicks sexually from seeing who else has become their friend. These men hope to attract the right friend to eventually meet and possibly have sex with them. Most men once engaged in this can not get aroused in normal sexual activity. They become desensitized and having sex with their girlfriend or wife is not exciting to them. They need the quick fix from the beautiful fantasy of the unknown women in their minds. These men need more than confrontation but therapy to get over the addiction. If they deny a problem then it maybe too late and their life maybe over.

I disagree, but my girlfriend thinks I talk to two many girls online between facebook and my spac, I just think she's jealousm I like her alot, but we have lots of arguments about it.

THESE POST ARE SO FUNNY SOME ARE SAD... TO TELL THE TRUTH I'M SERIOUSLY ADDICTED I DECIDED TO GO THROUGH REHAB FOR A WEEK SO I HAVENT LOGGED ON AND TOMORROW IS MY LAST DAY....LOL I CAN HONESTLY SAY MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS WITH FRIENDS IN PERSON WERE AT AN ALL TIME LOW ALL DUE TO FACEBOOKING.I GO BACK TO FACEBOOK WORLD TOMORROW WISH ME LUCK HOPEFULLY I WONT OD...SMH

FB is very addictive and even though people say that they log in just for a break, they end up wasting 2 or 3 hours just looking at photos comments,wall postings,chatting etc.And it really affects the productivity and the final outcome of one's life..coz life=risk and one thing you can't recycle is wasted time.So keep control or else deactivate and see how we can spend that time usefully...

How hilarious. I think we need another new diagnosis: MODWWFA

Male Obsessive Disorder With Wife's Facebook Activity

Sounds like plain old jealousy to me. And is there a reason she prefers FB to you? When you write novel length paragraphs complaining about every single thing she does, including the fact that you had a child with her?

Honestly, I'd run to FB too. What misery. And have to say that for as many men complaining about FB, there are as many women out there complaining about men's addiction to "fill in the blank" - golf, tennis, bars, drinking, sports, football, bad music, eating, sex, cheating. You are not immune to annoying habits. And learn to cook for yourself or family once in a while. It's 2010.

And to the wife of the guy who is thinking about configuring his firewall to block FB - the same guy who doesn't have the balls to sit down with his wife and give her his bottom line - take a look in the mirror. She is not your indentured servant or teen to "control" or "ground & punish."

Just get a divorce, because I would bet my life that your problems with your spouse were there LONG before FB came along.

Facebook is addictive. Anyone who says otherwise may be fooling themselves. The reasons you should cancel a facebook account or atleast reconsider how many times you log in every day...
1)Anyone who I keep in touch with I keep in touch with the old fashion way- face to face, a phone call, or I see them on some regular basis in person. This is what I prefer and what I feel is right.

2) I'm sick of going out with friends and everyone being on their cell phones updating their facebook status instead of talking with the person in front of them! Suddenly they are too good for the actual person standing in front of them! When people brag about being out with friends on facebook they are really at some bar, texting like a fool, avoiding talking to the person next to them so that they seem too cool for words.

This is rude and no one realizes this.

3) I'm getting too many friend requests from the people I hate. People from elementary school that I never even talked to. Why should they know my business. !

4) It's all a big show off. The real reason you say what's on your mind and make friends with 500 people is usually to make yourself seem cooler and a platform to validate your image and identity. It's apparently easier to do this on the computer instead of face to face.

5) It's not healthy. Unless you use it strictly for networking and nothing personal. This is why businesses use facebook. I feel the pressure of these social networking sites and I'm convinced more and more people will jump on the bandwagon until you're "nobody" without a facebook page. Then the only way for us to feel close to people will be through the computer. Face to face interaction and conversation will no longer be valued. This is what I see from these web sites and from people being chained to them 24/7

6) it's just addicting. There is actual a clinical disorder called FAD facebook addiction disorder.

Maybe I overanalyze and take it too seriously but someone has to.

I came across facebook during recovery from surgery and cancer. I want to be out enjoying life and being active but the fact is some of us cant and all we have is tv to keep us entertained because we are too weak or tired to do anything else. Facebook helped me through this horrible year of surgery, radiation, isolation. Reconnecting with many close friends I had lost touch with over the past year has helped me mentally which in turn is helping me physically. I am not on it nearly as much when I am feeling good but my life long disease has caused me to be exhausted and couchbound at night so FB has been a good temporary solution to help me do mindless tasks and wind down and live through experiences of others when I am unable to myself. It is also a great resource for information and advise if you use it correctly. I have a problem with how some people abuse it but overall personally it has done more good then harm. Be responsible and it will not consume you.

Damn...the second posting (from The Doctor) is a word-for-word description of what I see happening in my home with my wife, too.

While we certainly have other issues, and I may not be Mr. Perfect, the past year has seen my wife gravitate towards Facebook as her primary source of enjoyable interpersonal interaction. She desperately wanted a child, and her desire (not mine) came true 5 years ago. I’ve been a great dad, consistently finding time for our son while also managing to work out (cycling) and still basically run the household, pay the bills and do the vast majority of cleaning and general picking up. She does the laundry (putting my clean clothes in a pile in the bedroom for me to put way) and she cooks 2-3 meals each week.

But while she does a good job of keeping up with our sons school-related things, she makes quick work of this and most days puts much more priority on sitting on Facebook rather than spending time with me or our son. After our son comes home she either puts him in front of the TV or I play with him, while she logs into FB. She then usually microwaves some food, and we do try to sit down together most days, but she will often return to FB after eating. And then after our son’s bedtime, about 50% of evenings will find her on FB on our PC or on the laptop in the living room.

This all started with FB activity surrounding her 20 year high school reunion in early 2008, then accelerated through the year, including after her sister (100 miles away) got engaged and she became immersed in planning for showers and the wedding. When the wedding came and went a month ago, I wondered how this would continue, but it has.

Of course, someone doing this has no perception that it’s destructive because it doesn’t involve leaving the household to go to bars or other social events. But when your spouse spends FAR more time keeping up with her FB contacts than she spends talking with her spouse, something is extremely messed up.

I think now I can leave facebook land softly because of many assignments both campus and office to do. Thank’s for sharing. Nice posting ^_^

LMAO! I enjoyed you article!! Well it is getting quite absurd really. Sometimes you can communicate with people on Fbook walls and it will be as fast as a live chat. I feel like people are sitting there wasting away. What happened to going outside and playing some sport! haha.

http://www.stuff-about.com/2009/09/10-clues-that-you-are-addicted-to.html

why would people be addicted to facebook. I myself have a facebook but I am definitely not addicted. I actually find it kind of boring. I think its cool that people can keep in touch but why would anyone be on till two in the morning?

I know that many people can find facebook very addictive so I have made a group on facebook and guess what its called. Lol its called:
FACEBOOK REHAB (for genuine addicts only)
Sounds mad I know but its already attracted 1,633 members. I know there are more addicted out there but they may think a group is silly, but its not, yeah it may be silly being addicted to facebook but its a way for people all over the world to come together and dicuss different things not just about facebook but about life. Their are many topics and discussions going on that has made people all over the world make new friends and have fun. So if you are addicted to facebook then join me and follow the link below:

My friend,

Good job on attracting my attention to your subversion of my attention. And great insight (or "exceptional insight" according to the left upper text-box) on the "health" industry. The people's "need to connect" is what bothers me. How do you know you have such need? Or is it part of the art of attracting attention (marketing) that create such need. Is it YOUR need for the salary you get but justified so as the need of "everyone" through the therapy of that it is OK to want and to need __and fill in the blank, that which you subverted beautifully, the anxiety of self itself?

Did you just manipulate humor?

What is "finding self-identity?" It sounds good but what does it mean? I mean, what does it mean?

Important social or recreational activities are greatly reduced and or migrated to Facebook. Instead of sending an email you post a message on your friend’s page about canceling a lunch appointment.
