I think Social Media is changing the dynamic. More from this angle however....Social media shows the best of everyone, you don't post certain pictures, because of appearance, or what is behind in the photo.
What this breeds is for people to get a false since of reality and unfairly compare their worth to that of their peer group. The problem with that is that the peer group of our parents (social friends, coworkers, neighbors..etc.) has expanded 1000% with our "peer" group being everyone you are friends with or follow.
when you compare what you don't have it is really hard not to forget what you do have and that jealousy breeds resentment in the spouse dynamic...."why can't we have more, why can't he or she have a better job, did i marry the wrong person?"
that causes the weak of mind to wonder to try and find the life they see on Facebook and what is the terrible is most of the time they had a life most would envy if they could get out of their own head and see that.

During the holidays I was really upset/angry/depressed cause of stuff with my dad. There were several days(especially right before and on the actual holidays) where I had to just tell myself to stay away from fb. That seeing everyone's perfect posted Christmas pics (even though I know they all have their own struggles) was just gonna make me feel that much worse.
