At 9:10 p.m. on Feb. 11, she bid her 121 Facebook friends goodbye with one last ''poke'' (mood: sorrowful), then left the virtual world peacefully with a quick click of the mouse. ''It was hard to kill the profile I'd spent so long creating, but I felt it was the only way out,'' said Painter, 27, a personal assistant from West London. ''Facebook was damaging my relationship with my boyfriend to such an extent that if I hadn't done it, we wouldn't be together now.'' ''Reading my ex's flirty messages, however innocent, made him insanely jealous. He hated the fact that I was in touch with men I'd once slept with and that some of them had posted up old pictures of us together which I had no power to remove. ''In the end, Facebook was causing so many arguments between us that I decided the best thing would be to log off. As soon as my Facebook profile died, our relationship improved.''
