Yabu to feel offended if you are always posting stuff that he doesn't like and he hides you based on that.

ilovesooty · 16/09/2014 23:18

Do you post Britain First statuses or something?

nancy75 · 16/09/2014 23:19

Why are you on facebook with your husband - do you live in the same house and see him every day?

I wouldn't dream of hiding DH on FB. But if he was posting stuff I found upsetting I'd talk to him on the subject of marriage guidance/separation/divorce rather than doing a P/A defriending stunt.

Depends on your politics.

Nanc123 · 16/09/2014 23:22

i am left wing and sometimes post stuff about cameron or evidence based stuff

Nanc123 · 16/09/2014 23:24

I am going to ask again, and it is a genuine question - why is anyone a facebook friend of a person they share a house with? Don't you already know where they are going on holiday/what the kids look like and what the had for dinner?

I hide all political posters on FB

It doesn't bother me who they are and it shouldn't bother them that I do it.

nancy75 · 16/09/2014 23:25

Op we did X post there but I'm still not getting it

joanofarchitrave · 16/09/2014 23:26

nancy, I'm an FB friend of my husband because it would have looked weird to ignore his request when he asked and as if I had something to hide.

LadyLuck10 · 16/09/2014 23:26

Op you are exactly the type of person I would hide, I don't want to see anything political. He's hidden you (with good reason) not unfriended you.

Nanc123 · 16/09/2014 23:26

hes on my facebook just for a laugh not all my posts are political

WorraLiberty · 16/09/2014 23:26

nancy I guess people do it to network

So when someone is 'in a relationship with' or 'married to', other people will probably recognise them and add them.

At least I think that's it. My DH doesn't have FB but we would probably be on each other's list if he did.

Facebook + couples = rows.

LadyLuck10 · 16/09/2014 23:29

Yes and even if you had just posted twice it's very annoying when people comment/like as you get notified and it keeps popping up on your feed. Solution - hide the person.

SwedishEdith · 16/09/2014 23:29

I think it's quite funny but you're the kind of person I wouldn't hide, if that makes you feel better Grin

hoobygalooby · 16/09/2014 23:30

Why shouldn't couples both be on Facebook together? It would be strange to both have accounts and not be friends on there!!!
I wouldn't know or even care if DP had hidden me though!

Nanc123 · 16/09/2014 23:30

im not just a person im his wife Lady

DH is my friend on Facebook. Add a photo of the kids tag him and then his family and friends can see them.

I think it's weird not to be facebook friends with your other half, but not to hide each other. My DH isn't on facebook but I'm sure we talk to each other enough face to face to the want to read about respective opinions too. I just wouldn't be bothered but then I'd be more likely to be the blocker than blockee.

TeenageMutantNinjaTurtle · 16/09/2014 23:35

Yabu. You're cluttering up his timeline with things he doesn't want to see. So he hid them. It's not like he asked you to change your beliefs, he just doesn't want it on his social media. No harm done...

RedSoloCup · 16/09/2014 23:38

Utter bollox, we're fb friends with each other never caused a row, I have H on favourites which is almost stalker setting but only because I am genuinely interested in his posts because he is my husband and I LOVE him and when he posts a photo of something I want to get a notifications as it is possibly one of my kids or something that will interested on some way as I am INTERESTED in him and what his is doing.
He is also fb friends with his ex but that is fine because I TRUST him and we share a password as we trust each other.

OP in answer to your original q yes I would be pissed if he unfollowed me!
