Relationships Lack Trust As A Result Of The Digital Age

BestVPN.com surveyed over 1,000 people worldwide in a new report to understand what impact modern technology is having on their relationships. Social media has become embedded in our relationships via constant online documentation. When you tag yourself in a relationship on Facebook or upload a couple selfie to Instagram, it’s a marker of commitment. The convenience of modern technology has a darker side though, particularly when it comes to the cornerstone of all healthy relationships; trust. According to the survey:

• 49% of adults admitted they’ve checked out their partner’s Instagram account to see who liked their photos
• 82% of those who had no experience of cheating say they completely trusted their current partner
• Just 68% of those who had caught partners cheating on them in the past said the same
• 25% of those who admitted they’ve cheated before say they were caught via technology & social media
