How do you feel about husbands who share sappy walls of words about their wife on Facebook?

This. It’s got nothing to do with gender. It’s about making it public.

Exactly why I am not on Facebook

The wives wrote those for the husbands to post. The husbands don’t write them.

There was at least one study that showed the more you post about your relationship the sooner it will fall apart.

I have one friend who does this as part of his therapy to move past his wife cheating.

My BIL does it and he's truly obsessed with his wife; not cheating. I'm certain they have a genuine happy marriage. But it still makes me cringe. And I think subconsciously it makes men look weak to their wife. I can't comprehend why this is a thing for men or why the small minority of men who do this think it's okay. Do they not notice it's approx. 95% females posting messages like this?

I figure they are the type of people to do such a thing and completely unlike me. I don’t think it reflects positively or negatively on the health of their marriage though. It’s just something a small minority of people do.

Most the people I know that do this are extremely insecure. Tell them yourself, why does the rest of the world care?

No, I don’t care. I agree OP needs to examine her double standard. Don’t we want a culture where men are “allowed” to express their feeling in ways women are? Look to it, OP.

I think it’s extremely weird.

Perhaps I'm biased because my husband and I don't post much, but I'm not bothered by female friends who go on and on about their amazing husband. But when men do it, I do sort of cringe. It's just not manly, to me. Why are you telling the world these things? Just tell her. And this is a terrible thought, but I suspect the men who do this are more likely to be cheated on.

My ex sister in law’s new husband does this, but only on her birthday or anniversary. Otherwise, he’s pretty staid and unemotional.

It thrills me, honestly. He’s a great guy, and after she had to deal with my crazy brother, she deserves happiness. No way in heck she’d cheat on him, either.

I actually think all FB/insta/etc is for women. Men who post regularly on any of these are unattractive to me. DH has an account but never posts.

This, they are all looking for some validation from others. "oh you are so sweet" "you two are so lucky"

Any sappy words are cringe-worthy to me, it doesn't matter who wrote them.

It’s sweet. Different people have different ways of expressing affection. I am not a miserable, bitter person, so I don’t need to tell myself “their marriage is probably falling apart” to feel better about my own sad existence. If they are happy, I’m happy for them.
