To wonder if everyone hates their husband?

[redwineagain]

I will first say that I'm divorced and have just come out of an abusive relationship, so I may well be biased...

But I've seen a few things on social media recently about women blocking their husbands on WhatsApp/Instagram each time they argue.

AIBU to say that if you're married there's a line you don't cross, and blocking each other is close to it?

Dh deleted me on fb once when we had an argument. I logged into his account (we share pw’s) and added me back on again 😂.
It’s a really petty way to react and he’s never done it again.

I don’t have my husband on social media. I fucking love him.

I can't work out how to deal with an OH on social media. My ex and I always had each other's in the background, it was never a thing, but now it really seems to be

Umm Nope. Been married a long time now. Sure there are days/weeks I could have happily smothered him in his sleep. But overall were happy.

He's on my social media but never comments.

we're

No, I love my husband. I have FB and Twitter occasionally. We are connected on FB and listed as ‘married to’ - I think anything else is a bit odd if you’re both active on SM...

We're not connected on social media at all. I don't think it's strange at all. But being connected and blocking each other when you have a disagreement would be strange to me.

This is what I think. It's normal to be connected on social media (as i am with ex h), but blocking is weird

DH and I don't really interact on SM. We see each other most days. We both have FB accounts and of course are on each other's friends list and our friend's lists overlap so we might both comment on the same post occasionally.

Come to think of it I don't think we have EVER interacted with each other via SM. Other than Google Talk which we use like a texting service.

I quite like him, he can be annoying sometimes but certainly not to 'blocking/unfriending' levels.

I love him very much even after 30 years. He does not do social media.

If I blocked my DH on WhatsApp, we would never speak! We are like passing ships at the moment, due to new work commitments, a nocturnal toddler and a new baby.

Despite the children's best efforts, we are still very much in sleep deprived love.

DH isn't on social media, but if he was I probably wouldn't have him as a friend because it's not necessary.

We don't argue often but if we did we would never block each other as that isn't going to resolve anything. Neither of us actually post on Facebook much anyway. We both use WhatsApp a lot but don't see what blocking would accomplish?

Me and DW don’t interact on social media cos we talk in RL. Also, I love the bone did her.

Bones of her!

How pathetic , you still have to see them everyday so what’s the bloody point ?
Sounds like something kids or vacuous celebrities would do .

I don't think it's normal to hate your husband (unless you're about to divorce). What's the point of being married to someone you hate?

I'd never make any relationship issues me and DH have public on social media, that's just disrespectful.

Pointless to live with someone you hate. Especially if you’ve been together almost 40 years like us. But having little temper tantrums and doing childish things is what you are actually talking about, not hatred.

I really love my husband. I'm sorry you've had such a tough time in your past relationship. I think the silent treatment in general is a really immature way to deal with things + that would include blocking someone. Sometimes we need a few hours apart to cool off after a row, but we would then talk it through as adults. I hate silence as a way of 'punishing' your partner... Isn't it just manipulating them into doing what you want rather than actually trying to solve the problem?

I am guilty of blocking my DP after arguments. A little different though as we are long distance and the reason was to go NC for a while after he hurt me badly. I forgot he was on there and he used it to try and contact me when I had done talking. Bit different to a relationship where you live together though as blocking only shuts down one avenue of communication and not others. I now don’t have my DP on my SM and prefer it that way.

My husband and I don't use social media. We also don't hate each other. I don't know if correlation implies causation in this instance but I'm sure in a few hours you'll have enough answers on here to run some numbers...

Both use SM. Never blocked each other. Love each other. Had some humdingers of arguements. Odd behaviour. Vacuous.

Why would I still be with him after 18 years if I hated him? We both use SM and see each others' posts - why would it cause a problem? No reason for blocking, which is such a childish thing to do anyway.

Neither of us is on the lookout for a replacement partner or a side order of someone younger. We don't argue in public either in RL or on SM. We don't argue anyway - we're adults and discuss differing opinions.

If people didn't act like children on SM, Jeremy Kyle would be working in McDonalds.

I don’t use social media, but my DH doesn’t and wouldn’t use it to air our dirty laundry in public if we argue. The whole point of blocking is so that a person can’t have any further contact with you, so it seems entirely pointless and all a bit ‘teenage angst’ if you’re going to be bumping into them in the queue for the bathroom. ‘I’m ignoring you more than you’re ignoring me’ is just point scoring. Who wants that in their marriage? It sounds exhausting and childish.

'Also, I love the bone did her'.

Ha! Cracking typo
