to think it is a bit bleugh to share a Facebook profile with your DH /DP?

[Liltzero]

Saw a shared Faebook profile page the other day and it made me go yuk! But maybe I'm bitter and twisted that I don't have anybody to share a profile with (!) But really I'm definitely too much of my own person to share Facebook or even a email account with anybody.

Yes I've got a friend who shares a page. Sometimes I want to contact her and her alone via fb. A little off putting.

It's grim.

It's a pet hate of mine. Shared fb and/or email. Nothing says NOT MY OWN PERSON quite like it

Definitely weird, I don't know anyone who does that. I do however have a uni friend who had a baby and promptly changed her name on FB to Forename Mummasaurus Surname which makes me throw up in my mouth every time I see it.

It's definitely bleugh but better than a friend of mine who has one in her cat's name and writes frequent status updates as her cat.
"My servant bought my favourite food today so I rewarded her with a mouse..."

It screams lack of trust imo! Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you stop being an individual!

I'm always concerned. My controlling and abusive ex set us up a joint email and social media. It always looks like a relationship with a dark core to me.

Not a bit bleargh. A lot.

And I'd bet money on it almost always being the woman that instigates it.

My very first boyfriend of course I have stalked, isn't that why they made FB? shares a page with his wife, think Daz'n'Kaz (sort of) for their user name but all their friends only ever talk to "Kaz". I sometimes wonder if "Daz" even knows he has a FB page with Kaz.

YANBU

The other one I hate is "Jane Tylersmum Smith". Makes me want to call her Tylersmum for the rest of her life. Just to make a point.

I know one couple who have a fb HerNameHisNameSurname... JoanneandSamSmith... gives me a shudder every time I pass by it.

Poisonous SIL won't let BIL have one. Her stated reason is that he can't be trusted to manage it properly!!!!! So he posts via her, "DarlingBILsName says that..."

Oh, how we laugh!

Yanbu. I also have a few 'mummy' additions in usernames of my friends. One even has 'princess' in hers. She is 35. No shared profiles, but it is grim.

is it as bad as the mummy ones? trap mummytobe door?

ILs have 1 email address. 3 adults, allegedly, SIL, MIL and FIL. The email address is nutcasecan'tcuttheumbilicalcord [email protected]

Gives me the shivers.

I find it very strange to be honest!!

I saw this one, thought it was pretty funny!

I saw this one once* I meant!

I hate this kind of thing. I don't FB but couples with shared emails do my head in. It just gives me visions of the creepy partner checking everything. It also means you can't have a conversation where you discuss things in your own life, like "I have PMT and DP is doing my head in with his man flu, can't wait for my sauvignon" because you know Mr Couple will see it.

Another couple I know, he had multiple affairs and ever since she found out they've had a joint email. Ugh. I mean if you can't trust him, dump him but don't delude yourself setting up a shared email means you'll know everything he does! He could have 18 emails addresses online that you know nothing about.

It's rank.

I know some couples who do this and I had always assumed that one of them was a bit tech phobic. Pretty weird for any other reason.

YABU - At least these couples compact their gush into one profile. There is a couple on my face book, each with an account of their own, that constantly rub their fugg in other peoples faces with public messages, statuses tagging each other and just generally being a pair of fanny's.

I'm not kidding. Copy and pasted, and I quote...

"Happy birthday to my hunky wunky hubby. I love you my sexy special soul mate xxxx mhwa mhwa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx"

Then the husband will reply with something equally as gross.

Are there any of these where both partners actually post?

The only people I know of with shared accounts set up their email addresses back last century when it seemed to be more common to share (still a bit unusual though).

I didn't think anyone setting up accounts nowadays would do that.

I see them and assume someone cheated or is a controlling person. As you can never ask outright it makes me avoid friendships with either of the couple.

Ah now grandparents is slightly different I think. Although it depends how elderly they are...

It just screams infidelity or control issues.

The mummy ones are worse though and are always followed by I'm a taxi driver, cleaner, nanny etc as they seem to have to state what parents do in case the rest of us don't realise.
