FB PDA
What are your thoughts?
One of my sister's friends, who is also a friend of mine on FB has a new gf. This guy is almost 40. I saw a post from his new gf on my feed that he responded to maybe two weeks ago that was like, "Oh I love you X and you are the greatest BF in the whole world!" I thought, aww that's sweet. This guy has been married twice and has been in a bunch of failed relationships so it was nice to see him posting about his happiness.
Today, he posted something like, "I love my beautiful GF Y, etc." so I clicked on his page out of curiousity and it was chock FULL of PDA. This girl has posted mushy mushy love you stuff on his wall every day for the past few weeks. I emailed my sister to get the dirt and she said they have only been seeing each other for less than a month. This is typical for him to fall fast and then for the relationship to blow up within a few months.
There are kids involved from each party.
Re: FB PDA
I guess to each their own, but I definitely wouldn't be doing that.
What happens when they break up? It's all still there for the world to see, right? I don't have FB, so I'm not sure how that works.
Just seems like a bad idea. Why not just send a cute text. If it's once in awhile, okay, I get that. But everyday, really? That's so junior high.
on the situation described: ewww that is messed up. Poor kids.
On FB PDA in general: I generally keep the mushy stuff to myself or send a message to my husband. I don't really feel like I need to proclaim how much I love my husband on my wall. I might say Happy Valentine's Day All or something like that and then send a more intimate one to my husband's inbox. I love the STFU marrieds though lol. So I am always on the lookout for something like that to send lol. I've never gotten the ballz to do it though. (send one in to STFU marrieds)
Yeah it's massively icky. I think once it's on your wall, it's there. Although you can go back and delete individual posts.
I prefer to keep FB PDA to a minimum - especially at the start of something new - and even more especially with kids involved. Stuff like you described makes decent trainwrecky entertainment but it also makes me cringe.
Now, I got rather sappy today on my blog and we sometimes post sweet little things to each other - but as a general rule it's kept fairly private.
Perhaps as a joke.
I'm thinking of posting something slightly embarrassing, and corny.
Like:
Happy V-Day, Honey.
You are the cinnamon to my buns.
but I'm not sure.
