J just posted on my fb wall

[Bernadine]

"Have I thanked you recently for changing my life in so many ways?  I love you."

OMG.  He's very much a shout-it-from-the-rooftops kind of person.  I....am not.  And this makes me think of how you all say when you see something like this, you're sure they must be compensating for something.

[gault]

Enjoy it, woman.

[cleo29]

I don't think that means he is compensating for anything. His message was short and sweet, but if that is not your style, tell him you would prefer a personal note from him for you to find rather than him sharing it on your FB wall.

but, i think he was being sweet.

[hopecounts]

I only think a couple is overcompensating when it's ALL the time.
The occasional sweet message like that is NBD.

[ginap]

:eyeroll: So you guys are one of THOSE couples. Eh, my general annoyance with stuff like that is when I know the couple's relationship is a giant clustermess and all that schmoopy crap is for the benefit of others. I would be totally stoked if my H said something like that to me either in private or public. Enjoy it.

This right here is one of the many reasons I am glad my H has a fb, but never gets on it.  He will say "I love you" 55 times a day.  I get it dude.  Thanks.

[speckledfrog]

Get a room!


Just kidding.  It's sweet.      

[snickers]

That's sweet!!!!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Eeeeeeeeeewwwww!

[Yankees21]

I agree that if it's not all the time, it's not cringe worthy. He seems so sweet!

[Bernadine]

He really is the sweetest. Much sweeter and mushier than me.

Awww. My H is the opposite we basically never communicate on FB unless it's to tag one another in photos/check-ins. I think it's sweet and I doubt others will roll their eyes unless it's all the time. I have a fb friend that updates her status 238946 time a day and it's ALWAYS about how amazing her boyfriend is. ALWAYS. See, that right there is annoying.

[caitlinbree]

It's short and sweet. I think it's adorable.

My exH and his new gf write long, sacchariny posts on each other's FB walls. Those are the eye roll worthy type. Then again, then did make themselves FB official in the middle of their first date, so I guess it's par for the course for some people.

[rex]

I would cringe, too.

But it's cute, so enjoy it for now

What the what?

Yup. It was pretty funny.

Out split was pretty quiet, neither of us really announced it or anything. About two weeks after he moved out I got a whole bunch of texts/FB messages one night asking me who "Jane" is, and why stbxh was listed as in a relationship with her on FB.

He didn't know that changing his status, and her changing hers and tagging him in it, would update on all of his friend's news feeds. When I asked him about it later his only explanation was "well, the date went a lot better than expected." Lol

I know two "Schmoopy" people and they married each other. Everyday on my FB wall it's shit like that. It's NMS 24/7, but if these two could suck face via FB ... they'd do it.

Let it ride.

Nah.  I think he was just trying to be sweet.  Sounds like you have a good one there :-)

[eb777888]

Awww, that's sweet.

And H does this too. It embarrasses me becasue I feel like people think I put him up to it or something. Or that we're compensating like you said. I thought about telling him to stop but screw it. It's sweet.
