a FB page with your partner?

I know this is not at all important or any of my business Grin.

I remember a thread a while back about couples sharing email addresses (which I also find odd).

I have a friend who has just added me on FB but its in hers and her husbands names which I find really weird esp as I don't know him very well. They also share a mobile number so I never know who is going to read the message should I text Confused

Two of my mates share a facebook page - they're not even flatmates, just best friends. They think it is cute and charming, I suspect. Hmm

(One of them also requested for her birthday that we all come along and entertain her with presentations or artworks on the theme of 'friendship', which perhaps explains something ... they're lovely people but not of this world.)

I have a FB "friend" who recently separated with her DH (also a FB friend). They didn't tell everyone they had separated no they both changed their status to "single" at the same time Hmm Hmm particually bad as both their kids also on their FB.

Three weeks later and she is "in a relationship with" (she is in her 40s) some hideous old fart and has plastered pictures of them together all over her FB, and every status update involves a comment about "her man".

He replies to all her status updates and they have long drawn out tedious chats on her status while sat on the sofa together in the same house. The other day (when it was raining) she put "X hates getting wet" to which he replied something suitable disgusting about how "great" she looks when shes wet Hmm Hmm.

Her poor kids - I have hidden her as I can't delete as she is DD's best mates mum Hmm

I guess it depends why. My OH is nervous of using computers and we have the same email address as I have to check all my OH's emails anyway. OH won't do this.

lesley33 · 22/06/2011 17:29

Actually we both have a mobile, but everyone knows my OIH struggles to use hers and only really uses it for emergencies. So everyone contacts me or us on my mobileand my OH on landline.

I am very active on another forum.

Recently a husband of one of the regulars joined...she is very happy and they have lots of little threads between the two of them.

I think that is odd.

I think it's weird, but then again my DP and I are not a hand-holdy 'we've never spent a night apart' kind of couple.

I know an ex-couple who shared a mobile. They are an ex-couple because she found some incriminating texts from and to him on it ...

mumeeee · 23/06/2011 17:11

It's not unusual, I know a few coup;es who do that, Although I actually think it is a bit strange,

I share an email address with DH, we also have seperate email addresses.
We have seperate mobiles, though we both answer each others if need be. Plus, if one of the mobile batteries dies, we will use each others.
Only I have a facebook, but DH uses it to talk to some of his friends.

We're quite a sharey couple, we also share stuff like a landline, a home, a bed, etc Wink

we share an email address( i think being on facebook is weird actually) ds1 can use it too if he wants.What`s strange about it? We share most things as we completely trust each other

Gay40 · 23/06/2011 19:07

Yeah it is weird. It's nothing to do with trust. I am an individual person and so is DP. Nothing to hide, but we prefer our privacy.

Yes and today I came across an entire family sharing a page. It was awful!
