Facebook... Do or Don't ?!?!

Are many of you married couples are on Facebook? AND... if you are... have you ever had any negative experiences? I'm asking because... I just got on like a month ago & my husband, deep down rather that I didn't, but I did. Our marriage has been through the ringer & for some reason people are sooo interested in our lives... well.. my husband thought by me being on Facebook, someone would one day bring up something about our past..like 3 yrs. ago... WELL... sure enough someone did.... So I'm deleting my page, but I'm a stay-at-home-mom & it's like my social outlet... I do work one day a week, just to get out. My husband would really prefer me not be on anyway.. and he said that I should maybe find playdates for my daughter, so we can get out! Ultimately.. it's about protecting my marriage...at ALL cost!!! I was just wondering what some of you thought about the situation & your experiences with Facebook. Thanks & God Bless

Hmm,we haven't joined, but we, mainly I, was thinking about it. i was thinking about a joint page, so that we both know everything that was going in and out. Could you PM me with a little more info about what was so negative if you don't want it in public. But only if you feel comfortable.

My husband and I each have a page (so do our pastor and his wife too.. along with many others from our church family).

John and I know each others passwords and check anytime we wish. With that said... I rarely if ever do. We also have each others email passwords. Full accountability. We've not had bad experiences other than some "friends" posting status with cursing in them... we usually either "hide" those friends status or delete them all together. For us this is a great way to share the life of our kids with our family and friends that live far away. They get to see pictures of park outings, birthdays and other fun events all within a couple days or less of them happening.
It's also great for social interaction for this stay at home mom. I love that so many of my church family is on there and we can all update each other on happenings. It actually has helped me plan many past play dates with other mom's of little ones.

However, if this hurt my my marriage in any way... I'd delete it and not look back. My marriage will always be my first priority on earth!

Well, Idon't know what sort of ringer ya'll were through, but I suppose that would make a diference.

I understand Facebook as a social outlet, I use it that way too. It has been cool to get in touch with old High School friends, seminary friends . .. wish I could find more of my college friends. It is good stuff and it has even helped with my political activity. I don't know of anything to be nervous about, my wife isn't nervous either .. . does your husband have an articulateable reason to not want you talking with folks online? If you ask him why he feels he'd perfer you weren't, what would be his answer?

I've heard its a nice place to meet dissatisfied married women you knew from high school.

I have had it for a couple years now and haven't had any problems. Hubby doesn't mind that I have it but he's not interested in it.

Are many of you married couples are on Facebook?

Me.

AND... if you are... have you ever had any negative experiences?

Not really.

Some people have drudged up my past, but never my husband's. I just deal with it as it comes. Your husband sounds quite insecure about whatever it is in his past, that's not really your problem, but overall I don't see why people on your facebook would ever bring up anything about your husband's past.

Just don't talk about him. *shrugs*

I'm on it for the sole reason of wanting to keep track of all my kids. Sometimes it's the only way I can get their attention! Or see what theyr'e up to, haha. My husband isn't interested in it, he works too many long hours and does a lot of driving to and from work, so he's tired when he gets home and doesn't really ever mess with the computer other than to look at the football scores and maybe read a little news.

I don't have old boyfriend types looking for me because none of them would know my married name, so it's all very safe for me. I don't even get on there too much, just once or twice a week to take a peek.

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If i take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139:7-10

My husband and I have them. Nothing about our pages, e-mails, comments, etc. is private though and we are extremely open about them. He doesn't really talk to anyone on his though and mostly uses it for lame apps, lol. I guess if we had something really bad that we didn't want to come up again or whatever, it would be different, but we don't. I even have an ex on there who I talk to fairly regularly.

Mostly though, I just use it to talk to people who are my friends who I don't get to see that often. A lot of friends moved away from high school and a lot of friends are inthe military.
