Now I'm not going to say this guy didn't have some quirks which even I could see, but that is still a pretty crappy thing to do to your spouse (and kids). And while it's true that it's not that technology is the real problem, I think the sudden rise of social media has led to a lot of people who didn't grow up with it doing things they probably wouldn't have done in "real" life. It has made people think it's somehow ok to act in certain ways because it's on the computer. It's not rational behavior necessarily.
