To find sharing a Facebook profile with partner odd

I keep seeing people on Facebook who share Facebook accounts with their DH/DP. For example 'Emma n John Davis'

Just why do some people feel the need to do this? Confused

Nothing screams "my balls are in my gfs bag" more than the shared social media account or property of... in the bio Hmm

My MIL and her partner shares a Facebook because he won't allow her to have her own. The name is HisfirstnameHerfirstname.

Don't get it. With the exception of a new account for a couple that dont really do technology it leaves me with a few questions.

  1. Which one has actually or come close of
to cheating
  1. Which of the couple is the controlling or jealous type
  2. What are they trying to prove/hide by being one of those nauseating couples who want to Blab about how they're so lucky to marry their best friend.

I find it odd too.
Me and hubby have our own but I will admit I do access the hubby's sometimes for games.

I could understand if you really don't use FB and only want to see some photos or whatever. I know a couple tough who both use Facebook daily. They have a shared profile. They use the profile to talk to each other.

So you can read long conversations how JackJill loves JackJill very much and JackJill loves JackJill too and JackJill can't wait for JackJill to get home this evening. Had to unfriend them.

I haven't seen this.

ProcrastinatingIsMyForte · 17/11/2016 16:54

Nah, the profiles with "I'm mental me" little add ins make me cringe the most!

Emma 'nutty' smith, Beverley wino Martin etc etc ffs, no one cares lol

Notsurewhy2020 · 17/11/2016 17:33

Yes. In my case, I did it to keep tabs because he had cheated, alot! I was sad (in both senses).

It didn't stop him opening up a separate account, blocking me, and carrying on with his shenanigans, though. Hmm

It is very cringey, although, that was the last thought on my mind!

MarsBarsAreShrinking · 17/11/2016 17:36

I saw one today with "BSC Hons" after the name. I admit to much eye rolling.

The joint accountee initiator probably has ban on locked mobile phones, gets their other half drunk to use their finger to unlock said phone, finds nothing, but ultimately can't accept it, this trust issue drives partner into someone elses arms anyway.
At least they were proved correct...

MrsMook · 17/11/2016 17:50

I know one couple like this. The very lovey dovey type that fused personality when they got together. I know one of them from years back, and it puts me off interacting with them as I don't know the audience that's going to read my comments.

Some posts are obvious who they are by by their context e.g. sport, but some aren't.

cottencandy55 · 17/11/2016 17:51

Either ones cheated or one or both are seriously insecure

heron98 · 17/11/2016 17:57

I know a couple that do this. The account is in the man's name.

When the woman posts she writes in brackets after everything ("from Rita").

Why not just get your own account?

Redglitter · 17/11/2016 18:06

I know a couple who do this and put their name in brackets before they post so you know who it is

FFS get your own pages

SoozeyHoozey · 17/11/2016 18:26

It's is very odd. I also grimace at the "x's mummy" ones.

ChaseAvenal · 17/11/2016 19:12

I know a couple with their own pages plus a joint one where their only friends are each other Hmm I wondered if I was missing something...

Nuttypops · 17/11/2016 19:24

My parents share a Facebook page, as do many of their friends. They are in their late 60s/early 70s. They have shared an email address for years and just find it easier to share an account, mainly because neither of them have much idea how to use it but like using it to see photos etc.

MargaretCabbage · 17/11/2016 19:31

My SIL set up a joint account for herself and my DBro but it was only her using it. She's quite controlling (if I send a text message to my brother she'll quite often reply from her phone). I think it's weird. Hmm

I think it's extremely odd, but some will die defending it on here!

Yes-strange!
