My profile pic is of my DH and me. I looked at his page. His profile pic is of both of us as well. We have been married almost 30 years. Most pictures are of both of us together. Also, we are both 50. We don't do selfies. I agree with the PP. Adults taking selfies is a little pathetic. Even my college aged kids stopped doing that a few years ago.

When I see it I think it's fair to wonder how much is projection that they are a happy couple, regardless of how bad. I've also seen people with happy couple pics as profile pics and then split soon after.

Oh hey and another meaningless anecdote...my dh is in my pic (group shot) and we have basically no marital problems asks are very happy.

What kind of person thinks another person enjoying their loved ones is creepy? I agree that the photo without you even in it is weird but the only people I know who do that have like weight problems ore are insecure about their looks in some way

I just did a quick perusal of my friends list, and it's a little surprising that most of them are solo in pics, or are with kids/dogs/friends and not SOs or spouses.

I don't take selfies, so my profile pic is with my son at a state park.

No. He hates when I do that. He works in security and is really big on privacy.

No. No spouse or kids in my FB. Really don't use it much since 2010.

I have a picture of my dog. When I set up my account years ago, that was the only digital picture I had. I left it that way for years because I rarely used Facebook pre-kids. Then she died and now I will probably never change it. It's been a decade and it seems silly to change it now.

yes, its a great picture of the two of us. I use the same picture on twitter and instagram. My DH is really good looking so why not show him off?

Same here. He's older and doesn't use FB much anyway. Though lately he's made some noise about friending me. Now that I'm pregnant I'm hoping I'll have the strength to resist using my baby's photo as my profile pic. I f'ing hate when people do that but I get the temptation.

Do you mean your profile picture is solely a picture of your spouse or it's a picture of the two of you? I personally think it's weird when people have someone else (spouse, kids, pet) as their profile picture when they are not in it. But group shots I think are fine. But that's just my opinion. To each their own.

+1.

Me too. Even worse is when spouses share a Facebook account. Ewww!

It's not linked in. It's okay to have other things and people in your profile photo.

That makes life simpler I bet.
