10 Thou Shalt Not Social Media Relationship Rules

Social media is great.  You have Pinterest, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a whole slew of other modes of internet communication. Something tells me that social media has been responsible for more breakups than Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe back in their prime. As a family law attorney, I know evidence from Social Media is widely used in divorce proceedings.

Remember when Myspace was popping about six or so years ago? How many of you had little back and forth beefs with your honey about being in their "Top Friends"?  Oh...and when Facebook went from college only, to anybody...did you start "friending" old loves from your high school and middle school days?

There should be some sort of code of conduct for using social media while in a relationship (married or dating).  So...here it goes!! (Feel free to add to the list in the comments)
