Facebook - To Share or Not to Share???

[BigDaddy4]

I was just wondering how many couples share a Facebook page, or do you have separate pages, or one spouse has one and not the other, or not at all?

A Christian couple I know shares one (or at least he uses her account periodically). Another couple each have their own, but the husband is on his wife's friends list so he can be updated on what's going on. He says he rarely posts anything. My wife has one to connect with friends and family, but I don't have one.

Just curious on how "open" some couple are in this aspect...

We each have our own, are on eachother's friends list and are usually in the same room when either of us is on facebook. I've even gone so far as to ask her if it's ok if I accept friend requests from old girlfriends from high school. One in particular who I was still seeing after I had started seeing my wife, and whom I had sex with, I specifically made a point to ask her. My wife was like" hey you're married to me what do I have to worry about". And she's right. Not to mention that we're talking about people (my high school friends) who live 3000 miles away.

We have our own. I signed up for Facebook when it first started, when you had to be a student. My husband didn't sign up until about last year. I wouldn't want to share anyway. I have my own friends and he has his own (I don't know who he went to school with, etc). I also have my own pages and group memberships. We do share some but we also have our own interests. We both use our accounts on a daily basis. We are on each others friends list and I am listed as his wife. I do not list him as my husband because his page is more public and I'd rather people not click on it. I keep mine very private.

We each have our own, but we check eachothers as often as we check our own.
We know eachother's passwords and its completely open (and a non-issue) if we want to check eachothers facebook.
That being said though, we're very open - and have the same mentality with our E-mail as well.
It works fine for us!

My wife has one and I do not, she is in a union but I am a contractor, honestly facebook is a huge security risk, every week you hear about someone that gets fired from something they posted on facebook and who knows how many people dont get hired because of companies snooping around on the internet for a potential candidate.

In fact I changed my professional email on my resume because it was tied to too many things online and I created a professional business with my own logo, I now work hard to keep my personal opinions on issues COMPLETLEY separate from my professional life. With facebook (as opposed to internet forums) thats almost impossible to do, unless you have fake names and little info on your facebook page but then whats the point of even having one if your going to do that.

Its unfortunate that corporations have been allowed to rule the roost in this nation through economic means (NAFTA, H1 visas etc) but thats the new reality for the peasent class.

I have one, my husband does not. He could care less that I have one, and no interest in looking at mine or knowing what goes on.

 

[ImperialPhantom]

Nope, we have our own. We don't use them for much except keeping up with what far-away family is up to.

 

[WolfGate]

We each have our own. We are friends on each others account.

 

[xDenax]

I get on my husbands sometimes to be nosy and look at profiles of people who aren't my friend (like people he works with or something).

 

[Singermom]

We share, and I "moderate" it (that simply means that I'm the more chatty one on it). Our families are on it, and neither of us has enough people from our past to justify individual accounts.

We each have our own; when we were long distance it was one of our primary means of flirting with each other. Now we use it primarily in the same room. He has no ex girlfriends so I don't have to worry about anything like that, my one ex is on my friends list but I only have him on there because he's one of the needy type of guys who drop out of everything when they're suicidal... so if I notice he hasn't posted in a bit I give him a ring on the phone (with my husband's permission).

Hubby has one, mainly because that's the way our church youth group (which he assists with) largely communicates. I don't have one, but could access his at any time (as he could access this account at any time).

Hubby has had women he's known before contact him . . . including one who stalked him (a friend's kid sister) before. When that happens, he lets me know what's going on. I'm like the wife of the guy upthread . . . dh married me, why would I worry?

We both have our own. We don't share passwords, but my computer stays logged into mine if she really wanted to look. We have our own friends, including some that are on both.

We each had our own before even meeting each other so we've kept our own seperate pages. I don't really see a reason to share.

We each have one....
my husband usually quotes scripture on his and I usually just see what the friends and family are doing....
we do have a Christian FB account we share, for the town we live in.

I have one and so does my Hubby. I know most of the people on his page. I think you should be able to have access to your spouses page no matter what. On the other hand I do think that there is a risk with Facebook and it having the potential to harm the marriage depending on the situation.

 

[kisapuckett]

I have one, but my husband does not. He's not into it like I am. But I have no problems sharing the content with him.

 

[moonkitty]

I have a FB page, my hubby does not. He is just not interested in web-sties for chat or keeping up with the family. He likes website that are more on the tech side of things like bit-tech.net or newegg, or Hardocp.

 

[lucypevensie]

I have one, and he has no interest in having his own. But he's free to look at mine if he want to - which he doesn't

Newegg has a FB page. They often post new deals on there for "friends" of their page.
