Oh and Facebook what do you think?

I have a Facebook account that I don't use I sometimes reactivate it to have a little nosey.
I reactivated it again yesterday as I joined a group for my uni course due to start next month.

OH has seen I'm back on it going mad as to why I'm single on there and if I'm going to change it to in a relationship. I'm selfish blardy blah if his family or friends see there going to think we're not together.

I personally just think it's stupid I couldn't give a shite what other people think were in our late 20s arguing about Facebook. We have ds and dd due in three weeks I couldn't give a crap about things like that.

If it matters to him and doesn’t matter to you, then change it. It really seems a pointless thing to argue about.

I would be tempted to say run for the hills but see you already have kids with this guy. You need to tell him to stop being so.pathetic.

It’s pretty standard to show yourself as being in a relationship if you are in one. I don’t see the big issue personally.

I'd just rather not have it coming up on Facebook I never update anything on there. Our close family and friends know we're together why does it matter?

Im the same with fb but it seems to matter to your Oh, particularly as it's not like your relationship status is blank it specifically states single. I would either remove any reference to your relationship or change it for the sake of a quiet life.

That would massively piss me off too tbf. If it means that little to you just change it, I don't see the issue?

ThinkingCat · 22/08/2018 23:18

I'd change it to blank too.

If I saw a friend, who I knew was in a serious relationship, come back onto social media and have their status as single, I would assume they were having relationship problems, thinking about splitting up and/or on the prowl for attention elsewhere.

So that’s probably why your DP feels let down - it does suggest you’re not committed, it’s a statement to the social media world (which is pretty big these days, right?) that you’re not settled in your relationship.

You can set it so it’s only visible to you

firehousedog1 · 23/08/2018 00:44

You are not obliged to fill the relationship status. Saying that though if it avoids an argument then I would do it just to shut him up.

I’d change it to blank rather than have it as stating your single when you’re clearly not.
