FB is about as private as Fashion Center. MZ knows who is sleeping around.

This is all old people. My parents share a Facebook account and an email address. They were both invented after they got married so it's not like they joined accounts.

They also share a home phone number and a cell phone (for emergencies). No one cheated and no one's insecure. Same with my aunta, uncles and in laws.

These days, what friend emails you? When I make new friends we exchange numbers so we can text.

Ugh. I hate this. Do you have a job? I hate getting stupid texts all day long about inane social things. I'm trying to work! Texts should only be for emergencies or really time sensitive things. I basically only want to see a text if it needs a response within the next 10 minutes. Like a text from my nanny saying she's at the pickup place and my kid isn't there. Not "Hey, wanna get a drink next Thursday?"

Huh. I don’t know why but all my friends would rather text than write an email. We also might go hours or a whole day before responding because we are busy. I like texts because my personal email gets filled with junk and the text inbox isn’t cluttered. Someone texting all day long could just as easily be emailing constantly or send FB messages constantly. That comes down to personality. Someone who texts me all day thinking I have nothing better to do gets dropped. I’d expect the same if I did something that annoying!

And, yeah, I’m a SAHM but I used to work with people who wouldn’t get off their phones or FB. In fact, when I was on FB, it was all my working friends who had time to read long articles and share them. And post animal videos or whatever all day long because they are sitting in front of a computer and do it to distract themselves. Not everyone is working as hard as you, I guess.

Not hijacking at all but making a comment on shared email addresses since thankfully, I know no couples who share a FB account.

Shared email addresses are creepy and weird.

Whatever with school, blah, blah, blah. It's 2019.

I do not want to write to LarloandLarla@aol.com.

The only couple I know who has a shared email - I know for a fact from the wife that he's cheated on her forever and I would not be surprised if she's also strayed.

Just stop it all.

So basically each individual in the couple has no personal identity outside of the marriage.

What a funny statement to make. Seems like this realllllly bothers you a lot to make such a statement. No personal identity b/c their social media is connected? What an interesting extrapolation of a very specific data point.

This made me laugh. I joined fb super early when you had to have a university email account. But I didn't have one. Only my DH did from grad school, so I used his. I thought this meant I had to sign up with his name, so I put both of us on it. And then a couple years later FB opened up to the whole world. But by the time it occurred to me that it was weird to have a joint account, it was even weirder to "start over" with reaching out and re-friending the same people separately that "we" were already friends with--separately. Like a bizarre FB divorce. Plus he never uses it himself. So now we're just that creepy couple with a joint FB account. I've never cheated. Don't think he has either. But that definitely has nothing to do with FB. LOL

This is about it and true for all the couples I know who share a facebook page.

+1. I can't believe people think this is weird. Who gives a crap? I bet there is an age split on the responses here, with people over 40 being like "ummmmm....we really did not put more than 20 seconds of thought into it and really only got the whole stupid account so we could see when our HS reunions were going to be but now that we know that Mark Z. was selling all our information we're really glad we only got the one."
