[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They lurk on FB by going on via their spouse’s or parent’s account. My husband does this. Several of my friends do this. I think it’s weird. [/quote]

Why do you let him use your account then?

Also, I’m not on FB and I don’t do this even though my DH has an account. Is it really that hard to imagine that someone just doesn’t want to be on FB?[/quote]

If I know people IRL who do this, then why dispute it? It’s a fact.

Consider that you might be the outlier, pp.[/quote]

I guess I don’t even understand what they are doing on FB with someone else’s account? Just looking at stuff? Or are they like stalking people? And if the latter, how do they do that with a spouse’s or parent’s account— my parents have FB accounts but I can’t imagine they are connected to people I’d want to try and find out about? What is the point of using someone else’s FB account?[/quote]

They act like they aren’t on FB, but they really are via their spouse’s account. So they can see all the posts. They just don’t post themselves. Or they post their vacation pics but it looks like their partner did it.

My best guess is they don’t want to be searchable under their name and/or they like to brag about not being on FB…but they really are.

So weird. [/quote]

If you know more than one person who does this, I think there is something weird going on in your social circle. I agree it's deeply weird, but I don't think it's a widespread thing.

I also question if you actually know this or just think you do, because I have a hard time imagining someone telling anyone that they do this unless it's like a one-off thing. Like they aren't on FB but when a friend from college got married, they use their spouse's account to go view the photos or something. Which I would not consider strange. But if people are using a spouse's account regularly, I just can't imagine them sharing that with you. It sounds like obsessive behavior.[/quote]
