When I see that I assume

1. Public displays and words of affection are her love languages and he knows how to keep his wife happy
2. Their marriage counselor told him to do it
3. He’s cheating - dost thou protest too much

People with healthy, loving, stable relationships, don't need public validation (and that's all social media is - seeking validation).

I think more that people who are healthy, stable, and secure in themselves don't need public validation, regardless of the state of their relationships.

I know a guy who does this and i think he is just an affable nerd who really lives his wife.

+1. liars.

Guys who do this are usually cheating.

Yeah that’s the case with me.

I hate them all, from anyone. And not because I'm bitter and unhappy (far from it). I just think it's incredibly narcissistic to post something about someone you could literally roll over and say the words to. Why do you want the world to know? It's gross.

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.

Agree it's not manly.
Probably not the type of men that chop wood and fix motorcycles.

Lol. Chop wood and fix motorcycles. Laugh of the day.

Love them!

I have an ex from high school who does it for every single relationship. Invariably, he gets caught cheating and writes a "dear lord I've made a terrible mistake please forgive me, I'm sorry I've hurt the most wonderful woman in the world" blah blah type post. Then like a month later the woman hasnt taken him back and he's onto the next girl who's the greatest thing since sliced bread. On and on. The last girl got knocked up after 2 months last summer and they got shotgun married (his 2nd marriage) last fall. He posted yet another sappy one year date-versary message the other day "you're the best spouse, lover, friend I've ever had" blah blah. The things he writes to every woman if they'd look far enough back in his history. I'm dying to see how long this one lasts.

I mean she hates them even more than I do which is seriously saying something and she is even more excited than me about Boston getting bounced out of the playoffs tonight on the road in Milwaukee.

Wow...my wife is amazing.

I agree. The Massholes have bagged enough championships this year.

I hate to say this, but when I see the husband gushing over the wife, it's almost alway a case where the husband is better looking, fitter, etc than the the wife. Usually it's when the wife is overweight.

I find sharing sappy stuff on Facebook nauseating. Say it to your partner, show it to your partner but putting on a public display is more about a public performance than anything else.

I always think the person is trying to get praise and compliments and not doing it because they really feel it.

I think it’s nice. Granted, I don’t know ANYONE who does this.
