If you've found that your one-and-only seems to fall victim to the proverbial green-eyed monster, try to attend to their feelings and stop Facebook-ing all the time.
Around 300 users recently participated in a study that was released by the University of Gueleph in Ontario, comma and researchers found that partners of Facebook users tended to feel more jealous of their time on the social networking site.
Students aged between 17 and 24 were asked a series of questions, and the scientists developed their own Facebook Jealousy Scale to measure the respondents' answers.
Amy Muise, who co-led the study, felt the sharing of information in a semi-public manner may lead the partner who is not Facebook-addicted to feel jealous of the other due to 'details about their partner's friendships and social exchanges, especially interactions with previous romantic or sexual partners,' she tells Computerworld.
According to PsychCentral, 74.6 percent of participants were said to be somewhat likely to add these individuals from their past as friends. In addition, 78.9 of respondents said their significant other was already friends with an ex.
In the end, one of the best ways to maintain a healthy relationship is to keep open communication and for both partners to step away from the social networking once in a while.
