Facebook is abusive. It's time to divorce it

With the difference that this article is actually important.

My wife recently put an end to her FB page, which she had started against my counsel because she decided that she wanted a way to keep our friends informed while we were on our vacation to the US in 2014. It was useful for that, and the experiment should have ended there, but my wife continued using Facebook after that, despite my telling her that it was over.

She spent more and more time on it, until, in February this year, she told me that she had realized that FB was basically making her angry and annoyed with people. She had realized that she had started getting into the habit of angrily responding to stupid comments and that is when she decided that things had gone far enough and she closed down her profile.

Now she spends her time on Pinterest, where there is a wealth of interesting content. She's also taken the decision to never read the comments.

All in all, a useful experience. Now I am sure that FB will never enter our house again.
