Remember that woman who caught her husband cheating on Facebook? Well, if only she had known how much appreciation she would have gotten from the internet if she'd taken a screen shot of the messages her Facebook persona had sent back-and-forth with her now ex-husband! Comedy gold, that stuff is. Well, luckily for us, that is exactly what this woman did:

I know I'm developing a rep as the Scanner blogger who's all anti-Twitter, but let me assure you all: I hate and fear the power of Facebook just as much. (Full disclosure: I still use both.) And men/lesbian-or-bisexual women of the world? If a hot girl you don't know friends you on Facebook, there are only three reasons:

-She is a robot

-She is your significant other, testing your loyalty in a technological game of sexual espionage

-You are a famous person

So keep that in mind while you debate poking them, on and off-screen. And never forget that the Internet is always out to get you.

Haha. That's awesome / terrifying. I had to break up with someone who was cheating before, and it sucks. I'm sure it still sucks for this woman, but what validation it must be to be broken up with and such a slick badass all at the same time! Awesome post.

40 minutes to go from not knowing a 'friend' contact to getting your relationship kicked where it hurts? This is a nice warning story, but it can't be real. Surely nobody is this stupid.

If my girlfriend decided to 'test our relationship fidelity' through pretending to be someone else on facebook I'd pass the test, then dump her ass. What a cheeky move.

Some men ARE that stupid. I made up a beautiful lady named Chara. Unfortunately, I allowed myself to be drawn in by promises and lies and should have just left after he planned to meet her. Now, i'm sharing custody of a 2 yr old with a narcissist who can't even put his child's needs ahead of his own nastiness. Moral, when you feel something's bad enough to make you want to test someone like that, there's a problem bigger than can be fixed and it's best to just walk away.
