FB Weird?

[theatre4life]

Is not being friends with your SO on Facebook weird?

Absolutely, yes it is weird. 
Not my thing, but I don't think it's weird.
No, not weird at all.
SS.


Just curious if others would find this weird.

My SO isn't on FB and has no interest, so it's not an issue for me. If he were on it, I would say that I would be linked as married and friends, etc, but it would be because I were setting up his account for him, LOL!


I don't really notice if couples aren't friends on FB, but I think it's more weird to be friends with your SO and constantly leave posts to each other when you are in the same room/house at the time of posting. Especially when they are over the top posts like "Thank you for being the light of my life, you complete me in all possible ways...."        I mean, wouldn't those messages mean MORE to someone to hear them out loud rather than reading them on the web?

OrangePixyStix -  I completely agree with you. I definitely feel like that stuff should be kept more private. And I agree with you that if they aren't on facebook, that's it own thing.

The couple that I know are both on FB - the guy is one of my H's best friends. She is friends with all of us (h's group of friends and the wives/gfs), but he refuses to be friends with her. (They have been together ~5 years.)

If SOs aren't FB friends, I would bet that one of them is hiding something.

This is how I feel too.  I mean people add practical strangers so why wouldn't you be friends with your SO (assuming they have a fb account).

Yeah, I think it's weird. However, I guess if you use FB primarily as a way to keep in touch with people you rarely actually see in person, it could sort of make sense.

Not being friends seems odd, but I know people that don't have a relationship status on FB with their SO and that doesn't seem as weird.

See, I am with you here. If you don't want your relationship status out there, fine, whatever works for you. It just seems odd to me that two people in a relationship [who both have facebook] aren't even friends with each other.

How do you tag them all day every day?! OMG!

Like Liz said though, if you're using it primarily to keep in touch with people far away (and I do. I moved totally away from my home, parents and friends) then maybe you don't think about it? B is on FB, but he NEVER uses it. The only things on his page now are photos I tag him in.

I do think it's a bit weird but I don't necessarily think it means they're a cheating liarpants.
