to be offended that my husband has hidden me on facebook?..

[Nanc123]

apparently im too political (I dont post every day) he casually mentioned it as if i have no right to be offended .... and as i only hide people i never see or irritate me i am offended .....would you be?

YABU.

He's not blocked or defriended you. He's not asked / told you not to post the political stuff. He's just made his own choice not to read it. Seems fair enough to me. Get over yourself!

Oh but if the real issue is that he doesn't care enough that you're upset by it... well that's a different issue, but I think you're being oversensitive on this one. First world problem for sure.

I'm DH's friend on FB but we don't talk to each other on it, DH mostly posts about football or running, I mostly nose around people's profiles keep in touch with other Mums.
We have loads of couple friends who have conversations on FB and are always liking each other's pictures etc, I find that odd.

chaseface, does that mean that a husband has to be interested in everything that the wife is interested in? What about the other way round? Maybe some couples have all shared interests but it's more usual that one can be really into something and the other, not so much. It doesn't mean that they have any disregard for the person.

I have a hobby which doesn't interest my partner and vice versa. If I were posting a lot about my hobby and he didn't want it to keep reading it then I wouldn't be offended if he blocked me, I wouldn't think it was any reflection on me as a person, just that he doesn't want to read all the details of my hobby especially as I will probably tell him all about it in person anyway

I don't mean blocked, I mean hidden. I would be a bit if he blocked me.

I wouldn't hide my DH. I have an American friend who is always posting really right wing political stuff, which I dislike intensely. I just scroll past them, I don't hide her.

I also don't see what the problem is in being friends with your other half on FB - unless you have something to hide? I'm not friends will all of DH's friends and family on FB, but they still like to see pics of the kids etc so when I post a pic, he gets tagged and they get to see it.

I don't see why FB + couples = rows? Unless you're the sort of person who does lots of airing of dirty laundry using FB, in which case you really oughtn't to be on FB at all IMO ;)

DH and I are posters of political guff, I dare say we're hidden by 90% of folk. I'm also atheist and feminist...you can imagine my feed is a total joy. However, I also post funny statuses, and lighthearted things, mix it up a bit.

I'd be a bit miffed if DH hid me because we share the same political beliefs, but we differ on religion a little, however he respects my stance and wouldn't hide me.

Fucking Facebook is a nightmare

I am not friends with DH on FB but I'm very strict about my FB settings in general, not searchable and people can't post on my timeline at all. Most of my FB friends seem to be friends with their DPs on FB though.

I hide a fair few people just because they clog up my timeline, it's not something I thought would cause offense (I didn't think they'd be notified tbh) but just a time saving thing so I don't have to scroll past. I only post on FB myself about once a year but I like to get an idea of what friends are up to, but I don't need to know all their thoughts/details of their day.

DP deleted FB when we moved in together. I've hidden a friend who keeps posting pics of animal abuse but I know one couple who went away for a weekend. He tagged his wife in every picture, 10+ a day of random snaps of the bus etc. But I know for a fact they don't like each other much and barely talk so I have no idea who's benefit it was for.

I do have a FB 'friend' who gets right on my tits but I can't bring myself to block her as I quite enjoy her car crash life. I'm a bad person.

Sorry, if you post alot of political stuff I can understand why he hid you.

I love my sister dearly, but I'm fed up of her posting political statements all the time. I don't use FB to find out about other people's political views and I found it and all the ensuing debate annoying, time-consuming and frustrating. So I hid her, because I want to control the way I interact and participate in social media. It doesn't control me.

Just because FB provides a forum for people to share their views, does not mean that other people are obliged to accept that this is the case. Like PP have said, he's not trying to get you to change your views or the way you use FB, he's just opting out of the debate in that forum.

This is such a non-issue. It also makes you sound quite immature, placing so much importance on facebook, sorry.

I hide people all the time and I really really wouldn't have any sympathy if they whinged about it when they found out.

It's not that big a drama.

Non issue.

I'm not DH's friend on facebook even though he keeps friend requesting me. I tell him (as he's normally sitting across from me at the time) that I have no desire to chat to him on facebook as we're normally in the same room at home. It's a joke between us now. I cringe at the conversations between partners on facebook when they are sitting beside each other on the sofa. Don't get it at all.

"Those defending the Dh's right to hide content that bores him seem to be overlooking the implication that the OP is boring to him. Unless her online persona is entirely different to the real her, I'd be pissed off that he found me boring or annoying."

I was surprised at how different some folk can be on FB compared to my real life interactions with them. Some folk over share, post a lot of guff and block your page. If you are a pain in the arse then I will hide you or delete you. I've hidden a lot of people I'm fond of in real life and of course defriended my husband - he didn't seem to take offence.
