Social media may help you stay in contact with old friends, but when it comes to recovering from an affair, is it a help or a hindrance? Just when you think that a particularly painful chapter in your life is over, someone associated with that time period tries connecting with you on some form of social media. The continued connection keeps the old wounds tender. It is as if the pain is being inflicted over and over again. With each new post they make or attempt to connect, it connects you or your spouse with more pain.
The more connections you have, the greater the chance of old chapters staying open. Those old connections keep old issues and old memories alive. They keep those old chapters in your life open and continuing. Like a soap opera that never ends, the drama continues on in your life. The problem is that this is not a soap opera, this is your life.
You may want to seriously consider holding off social media use until those old chapters are ended and closed for good.
