"We have shared our relationship publicly".

Well, perhaps that was your first mistake.

And clearly, that is not all true if everyone thought your marriage was going well when in reality you were filing for a divorce.

And why not expose the good, bad and the ugly? Oh, that's right. We only show people what we want them to see online.

Of course this is my ranting mind referring to most recent celebrity divorce of Rapper Logic and wife, Jessica. But can we pick at the confusing statement, "we are better as friends"?

You chose this person for life. You made a vow, joining your life in its entirety with another's entirety of life. You chose to showcase much of your relationship to the online world and media. Further, you encompassed this union for two years. Then, in some freak switch or act of complete fear, you decide to withdraw from that oath and go back to a friendship. Tell me, how could your friendship ever be the same anyway?

Piggy backing off of blogger, Elizabeth Dhokia's post, How To Be Authentic Online, she talks of the unnecessary precedence we allow social media to take in our lives. And yes, an online presence allows for creative strike, value add and curiosity amongst niches. But to expose a most precious aspect of society (marriage) to the world and more confuse it with an act of seemingly immature and unreasonable response, proves our focus is scattered.

Perhaps the couple was so focused on how the world viewed them, rather than the very tangible, offline occurrences of their relationship- of their marriage.

If there is this correlation between a broken marriage impacted by social media influences, then our system and priorities as a digital era must be reconstructed entirely.

And of course, I only see what they post online, as everyone else, so critical commentary should stay to a minimum. I for one though, hold marriage to a very high standard and believe in transparency as well as determination to be better as spouses rather than better as friends.
