Method and case introduction: The subject is a 25-year-old woman who was married to a 26-year-old man two years ago and divorced this year (2016) due to her husband’s excessive use of Telegram application. This qualitative study was carried out in 2016 and information was collected in two sessions of face to face interviews with subject.

Results: The interviews with subjects showed that the only factor in the couple's divorce was subject’s husband’s excessive and inappropriate use of Telegram applications and his excessive dependence on it.
