He had set up my new computer and had put himself as administrator as it was easier to set up he said and used his old email account to set it up . This account he hardly uses ,it's really just a backup account. while waiting for him I just scrolled down emails, there's not many, and there was one from 2017 a Facebook account being opened under a false name. No other emails from Facebook. He has always been a social media avoider and has no sm accounts or so he always had me believe.

I wouldn't get alarmed about it. He probably never uses it and just had a look one day.

If you know the name he used you can just google his account.

Sounds like that thread mn deleted as suspicious the other day. Why are people posting advice about this non story anyway. Bizarre

I think I opened an instragram account but only looked once. Same with Pinterest.

For some things (like checking business info and reviews when they only have a Facebook page), it's much easier with an account.

Sounds like he opened it once -- either for curiosity or to view something and then moved on

Sounds like you're actively looking for something remiss OP. I don't understand why you can't just talk to the man.

I had one for facebook game, didn't want to clutter up news feed with requests for mafia wars and sims!!

I've literally never joined fb never been interested, get random emails sometimes tho.

I made my first Facebook account under a false name when I was at uni, because they were using Facebook Groups to plan group work.

Perhaps it is something along those lines, relating to his job.

I have one under my own name now, of course.

DianaT1969 · 29/12/2019 12:16

I had a fake one because I was an admin on our company one and had to upload lots of photos and news that I didn't want to inflict on the friends in my real FB.
Only you know if he is likely to need access for work stuff or sports groups in the past. More likely he just set one up to look around and cancelled it.
I'm sure you know that you don't need proof of wrong-doing, or to give a specific reason to leave him if you aren't happy in the relationship. You can just decide that it isn't working.

LTB - he's a man and therefore must be up to no good

I don’t get any emails from Facebook and I’ve had my account ten years

2020BetterBeBetter · 29/12/2019 17:43

I have an email address that gets endless messages about my account with Instagram. I keep reporting that the account user is not the email address holder but clearly the person keeps logging back into Instagram and resetting it. So it’s possible, albeit unlikely, that he didn’t even set up the account.
