“Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” 2
More agony from the New York Times:
A new dating order has emerged in the era of social media. Couples who used to see each other’s friends only at parties now enjoy 24-hour access to their beloved’s confidants thanks to Facebook. Sharing passwords to e-mail accounts, bank accounts and photo-sharing sites is the new currency of intimacy. And courtship — however brief or intense — is wantonly scrutinized by the whole world on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook.
Words fail me.

Sweet suffering christ. This is beyond overshare, considering that most relationships among the young probably last less than five years. This is one of those times when the human race drives me to active despair.

I plan on being a graceful widow if anything happens to the Cookie Monster I married oh so long ago.
Technology will remain a stranger to me.
