Facebook has negatively impacted relationships in several ways. It has made dating more difficult by providing new obstacles and awkward conversations. It has also made it harder to end relationships and fully move on since exes can still see updates on Facebook. Before Facebook, ending a relationship meant the end of most communication, whereas now years of shared information can remain online. While Facebook is good for sharing information and reducing loneliness, it has changed how people interact and made some relationship tasks like breaking up more complicated.
