Hmm someone I know (male friend) reactivates Facebook about 3 times a year, doesn't post any updates/ pics or likes or comments whatsoever. His gf has wrote a lovely comment under one of his pics he hasn't acknowledged it or liked it. He is also down as single and has his phone number on full view. Aibu to think it's a little strange?

Do you by any chance find this make friend attractive op?

Seems a little bit grasping at straws to try to deduce his relationship commitment by looking at a mainly inactive fb profile.

IlikePercyPig · 12/04/2016 09:50

People putting that they're in a relationship doesn't stop them from cheating Hmm

You seem a bit over invested.

WorraLiberty · 12/04/2016 09:54

I think it's a bit creepy that you've given this more than a raised eyebrow and simply scrolled past.

No idea why you're giving this so much head space if you're not the girlfriend and you don't even know her Confused

EarthboundMisfit · 12/04/2016 09:55

That could be my husband. He just hates fb.

PerspicaciaTick · 12/04/2016 09:57

How do you even have the time and headspace to notice this crap?

sepa · 12/04/2016 10:05

Warning, stalker alert.
Does this guy know how creepy you are around his facebook!

Buxtonstill · 12/04/2016 12:27

It was the stalkers that made me leave Facebook. There were people on there who must be glued to it 24/7, breathing in every detail you write. I'd put something on say, a school group asking which day the bake sale was. I have friends with no connection with the school 'liking' it. Ditto a million other things. There would be a group of them liking every status or photo within 3 seconds of me posting it. And within 15 minutes of me deactivating my account, one of them had emailed me asking what had happened. Do you look up this guy every time you go on to Facebook OP? I find your concern and stalking fairly disturbing.

EverySongbirdSays · 12/04/2016 13:17

You care enough about the Facebook behaviour of man who is neither your relative or partner or particularly close friend to come on to another site to criticise it?

YABVVVU - are you as young as your username might suggest? 17?

zoobaby · 12/04/2016 13:28

I put nothing on FB. As far as it's concerned I'm single and childless and about 10 years younger than reality Wink. People who know me IRL obviously know the details.

leelu66 · 12/04/2016 14:14

Are you 17, op?

notamummy10 · 12/04/2016 14:19

You are aware Facebook relationship statuses don't actually matter right? Hmm

I really want to know why you posted in AIBU? Was it to get a reaction? Or are you really that sad that you are concerned over a Facebook profile?

AKissACuddleAndACheekyFinger · 12/04/2016 14:49

He has form for cheating...with you??

Buxtonstill · 12/04/2016 19:16

She wishes, I suspect.

mellybythesea · 12/04/2016 19:40

OP go and read a book, or go outside, or do some knitting.

Ludways · 12/04/2016 19:57

I suppose this is a bit like dh and I, we actually speak to each other rather than writing messages to each other for the world to see.

Prettylittleliar99 · 12/04/2016 20:25

He has flirted over FB with me, I havent reciprocated because I am a good person and I have too much self worth to respond . Plus I'm not single.

OP posts:
NerrSnerr · 12/04/2016 20:47

Oh no. I just checked and my husband hasn't liked or commented on any of my Fb posts in the last 3 months (there aren't many of them). I need a divorce don't I?

sepa · 12/04/2016 20:58

Nerr I think yours is deffo a case of LTB!! Grin

Pretty you haven't explained why you give a crap about this or how you even noticed unless your checking up on him!

notamummy10 · 12/04/2016 21:03

So if you've not responded to the flirt, why are you making such a big deal over it? Just block him and move on.

glueandstick · 14/04/2016 17:06

My husband has never liked or commented on anything I've put up. He tends to say it to my face. I must LTB immediately as he's clearly cheating.

toohardtothinkofaname · 14/04/2016 17:11

If he doesn't actively participate in Facebook when he re-activates it you wouldn't get notifications to know he was back on, unless you're actively checking.

I suspect you are either the gf or wish you were.

Uncoping · 14/04/2016 17:21

You've got too much self worth to flirt with a taken man,
But busy yourself noticing the most unbelievably pointless details about his FACEBOOK?

Hmm honestly, op, are you 17 years old?

I know it's 2016 and all that but not everyone lives an open book life on Facebook.

Also, what is it to do with you what he does if you don't even know the gf?!

You're an odd one...
