A wife has spoken of her humiliation after she became the first woman to be "divorced" on Facebook.
It simply said: "Neil Brady has ended his marriage to Emma Brady."

“When I got the phone call I was shell-shocked. My first instinct was to phone him but my friends at work insisted I should speak to him face to face. He acted like everything was fine.
“This whole thing has been terrible. It’s been humiliating having everything happen so publicly.”
Don’t post to social networking sites. Problem number one solved. Talk to your spouse, second problem on the way to being solved.
in the interest of full disclosure, i have facebook and it is the best thing ever.

I’d be embarrassed to have to admit to using Facebook.
He could have been a little classier.
He could have gotten the web handle EmmaBradyDumped.com and posted her picture and a full explanation of why he was dumping her. (with juicy details!)
Look at the plus side, because of the new Facebook terms of service, she is now the property of Facebook in perpetuity.
Sharia on Facebook. Who knew?
I have a little fun on Facebook. But it is pretty over rated as a pass time.
I’m not.
I am listed on Facebook. My kids are and many of my former students are. It is a great way to keep up with friends who are scattered, literally, across the globe.
I like Facebook as well. I connected with many old friends when I moved back home and am in touch with friends I left in Los Angeles.
“Citizen’s Divorce!! Citizen’s Divorce!!”
Maybe we could divorce Obama this way.
Happier times: Emma and Neil Brady on their wedding day
Or it may be the other way around.
I use its closet competitor, MySpace and I have friends not only with those who are not famous, but the famous as well.
It may be spook training from years ago, but don’t look for me in Facebook. I don’t even like my picture being taken.
Only if he listed it 3 times (per Sharia, I think).
Look Ma, I’m multi-cultural! (Barf)
I’m with you. I see many of my younger friends who have pages. Some are decent, entailing mostly an internet wallet-ful of photos for friends to check. Others are clearly using the forum for what used to be silly diary entries that embarrassed us a few years later. “I love X”, “He looked extra long at me today in class”, “She smiled at me”, etc. “Kids” in their twenties are used to conducting relationships on line or over the phone. Others give a moment-to-moment account of their day as if anyone were truly interested in knowing what time they woke up this morning, what they ate for breakfast, how long they took to brush their teeth.
What I don’t care for is the tendency to post photos of people besides the page owner, without permission. I really hate to find a photo of me on a niece’s page, or accounts of something I did on a friend’s page. I am an ultra-private person and I resent being vulnerable to this kind of exploitation. And, like you, I feel a profound discomfort about the whole “forever in ether” thing.
