According to another article written by Pew Research Center there are more negative
effects that are associated with social media and relationships. These findings are
results from interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates
International from 4/17/3-5/19/13 among a sample of 2252 adults ages 18 and older.
42% of cell-owning 18-29 year olds in a serious relationship say their
partner has been distracted by their mobile phone while together
18% of online 18-29 year olds have argued about the amount of time one
of them spent online

In a study conducted by the Teen Advisory Board (TAB), a peer led sexuality
education curriculum based in Oregon, a survey of 11 questions was put together and
distributed to 200 students 9th-12th grade with a good mix of rural, urban, and suburban
youth. Their answers provide an accurate depiction of the connection between
relationships and social media. Here are some statistics found:
75% said social media affects romantic relationships negatively
27% said Facebook is one of the top two ways people their age begin their
relationships and 19% said Facebook ends them
82% said that texting is one of the top two ways to end a relationship
