Social Networking while married: Facebook (husband, separate, kids, friend)

[Daisy7]

So I want to know everyone's opinion this morning..

We all know that not everyone is perfect, and not everyone has a trusting or secure heart/mind.

Do you think that Married Couples should have separate/joint Social networking accounts?

Sights like facebook, myspace, twitter.. etc

Why would they not have ?

If our relationship is at a stage where you can't trust your s/o to interact with other people then it isn't healthy.

Social media is not to blame for relationship ruin, it's just a way for unsuitable partners to either be caught, or to get themselves in a position to do wrong.

I don't have facebook and the like, but I don't see why a couple would share.

My husband and I don't have the same friends, interests..etc. so if I ever decided to get on facebook it would be my own account.

If "trust" is the issue then why would people have seperate e-mail accounts and other such things?

I don't have any of those accounts but it would be the same with accounts here on C-D. They should be separate.

Well of course they should be separate. They are 2 different people.

Myspace is just silliness though...for kids.

I don't see why not. Most of my the people I know, who are married, do have at least a Facebook account. They just post their pictures about their kids, sometimes how they're feeling on that day. However, they know that in someway, their SO will end up seeing it. If they don't want their SO to see or know about something, Facebook, or the like, isn't the way to go.

Then again, in my rule book, rule number 1 is: People are stupid.

Yes, why wouldn't they?

Hubby is a member and I stubbornly refuse to be as I find the whole concept baffling and a little repugnant. He uses it mostly for finding about local events and charities we support and to keep in touch with his teenage niece, and some friends from school/uni.

I could not care less. I can access his account if I really wanted to but life's too short. He has Facebook ( where he spend about 10 minutes a day) and I have C-D . Both of us can read what the other posts but neither of us is interested to be honest.

I don't see an issue with him having his own facebook page. He is entitled to a little life of his own after all and I don't resent it. This would only become an issue if he became obsessive about it or secretive. I trust him and he trusts me.

If I wanted to join facebook and he was obviously uncomfortable with me seeing his page then I might find it a little suspicious I suppose but quite frankly I prefer for us to be open and honest and not to assume the worst all the time.

If you are his/her friend you'll see most everything anyway.
