Would you...

Be okay with not being friends with your SO on Facebook?

 ((I know there are some who have husbands who are anti-facebook, and that I understand.  I am talking about you both being on FB and not being friends.))

I feel like I would be really uncomfortable with this, and I am just curious of other people's thoughts.

Re: Would you...

  • I'd find it odd and not for me, but who knows how well it works for others.

  • I think that's really freakin weird, to be honest. What would be the reason NOT to be "friends" with your spouse on FB?

  • I think it would be odd. It's like you're trying to hide something from him. But that's just me.

  • That is beyond sketchy.  There is no benign reason to refuse to friends with your SO on FB.

  • No, I would not be okay with it. I just don't get why we wouldn't be friends. I do understand some people are not listed as "In a relationship with X", but they're still FB friends. (A specific couple I am thinking about is actually engaged and their profile photos are often shots of the two of them but they're not "In a relationship" according to FB. They're not listed as "single" though either).

  • Why would you not? If I saw this, I would think that there was something going on because this is extremely weird.
    image
  • Nope. Completely strange.
  • If H had a FB, I'd be uncomfortable with him refusing to friend me. I don't know why you wouldn't want to be friends with your SO.

    To an extent, I understand this as well.

    But I am glad to see I am the only one that thinks this is weird. We are friends with a couple (who have been together for at least two years) and they aren't friends on FB. I just find it odd.

  • Dh and I are friends on FB, but I NEVER visit his page. Since we live together, I don't see the need to. Yes, I think it is odd to not be friends.

  • Yes, I would find that strange since he's not only my H but my friend too. It sounds fishy to me.
  • Of course.. I also find it odd to be married but still fvc&ing other ppl.. and that happens quite a bit.

    So maybe I'm not the best judge.

    I guess that's why I don't find it extremely weird. People do crazy shiit while still married.

    I also find this odd, which is why I figured I would see other people's thoughts. I am not judging, to each their own. If it works for their relationship, good for them, I was just wondering why any one would do this.

  • Yeah, that's weird. I don't see any reason to not be friends with your SO on FB.

  • That just sounds shady.

  • I would be bothered and feel like they were hiding something. I had the "In A Relationship with ---" and was FB friends with my ex. It's not like I ever looked at his page, but if he didn't accept/deleted me I would have been curious as to why.
