Heavy users of social network Twitter are more likely to experience conflict with their partners, leading to lead to divorce, break-ups, and emotional and physical cheating.
That’s according to a study carried out at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, which surveyed 581 Twitter users of varying ages and found that heavy use could result in conflict arising from spending too much time on the social network to using the site specifically to engage with someone outside of the user’s relationship.
And even if your man is just innocently chatting on the social network, author Russell Clayton says that it could still signify that he is being driven away from the relationship to pursue other options in any venue.
“I found it interesting that active Twitter users experienced Twitter-related conflict and negative relationship outcomes regardless of length of romantic relationship. Couples who reported being in relatively new relationships experienced the same amount of conflict as those in longer relationships.”
Clayton recommends couples of all ages limit their use of social networking sites to more healthy, reasonable levels.
