My wife had become obsessed with Facebook and now she is with a ex boyfriend from high school?

Okay what the hell is going on with the women in their late 30's and this obsession with facebook and Highschool. My now ex wife, threw away our marriage and family for some guy that she went to a dance with. The cat came out of the bag this weekend, and I knew it. What is up with this phenomena?? I know that this has not only happened to me and my boys, I hear about it with lots of folks! My kids straight up asked me why is Mommy ruining our family!!

It's not about facebook really, a lot of people are suffering from emptiness everyday and facebook just happens to be one of the get away paths to fill that emptiness.

Women these days hate reaching 30.. especially if they've made nothing spectacular out of their life.

She is probably longing for her high school days of popularity, being young and thinner and better looking than she is now. It's completely natural. Just slap her to snap her back to reality.

First things first; he is not an ex boyfriend since she decided to leave you for him. But now she is YOUR ex wife.
Make it official, and file for divorce and custody of the kids since she's the one that walked.
She might even be ordered to pay child support, but I doubt it will be enforced.

oh Aj i am sorry to hear this for you and your boys.
it is not only women doing this but men too. this facebook has ruined many families and peoples lives. it is disturbing when you look at how many people you know have been affected by nasty comments, getting fired, dumped, humiliated and hooking up with people who are simply not their friend or they would never have lost contact
unfortunately most working people with young families and technology are in their 30's so you will find its not really an age thing.
there could be a reason she turned to this guy if she felt she had no support from you etc? i dont know your circumstances but i really hope things can be fixed for your family

Facebook doesn't ruin families - people do. Facebook may have made it easier for her to reconnect with this guy, but the internet in general has also done that. It's not hard to conduct a search for someone from your past and locate them within minutes. Apparently Mommy was not happy to begin with - whether it was her fault or daddy's is irrelevant - the relationship was not working and someone didn't notice something was wrong until it was too late. Mommy did however, take the easy way out. Rather than honor her commitment to husband and kids, she ran off with someone from her past, where the grass appeared to be greener. Many couples become too comfortable, have problems that go unresolved because they are too messy to unravel, just take the marriage for granted - until it falls apart.Mommy hit her breaking point and ran, leaving dad to clean up her mess. Both of you hve some responsibility here, mom for running rather than facing her unhappiness and dad for not noticing & dealing with things.

Tell the kids that Mommy has some problems she needs to work out & it is not their fault. As for you , dad, stop blaming facebook or the old boyfriend. Maybe he offered her something you did not - understanding, patience, an escape from sometimes overwhelming task of raising a family and balancing a marriage with that. She may - too late - regret her choice but she may also go on to greater happiness. You need to let it all go and just move on. What's done is done. She could just as well have left with the next door neighbor - she just couldn't stay any more. This does not happen to all women - or men - but when it does it is devastating to the spouse & kids left behind. You need to let go of your anger so you can move on & help your kids do the same.

Sorry man...some people are just cheaters and always will be...and some of us are not but get screwed over..and try and figure out what we did wrong. Let he run to her fantasy and watch it all crumble...it always does once the lust dissapears and the reality sets in. Just make sure you never take her back!
