Member of Facebook dating group

[Headpillowcase]

My husband and I were at an event and I was posting photos on his Facebook (I’m not on Facebook). I noticed in his groups one was ‘Facebook dating’. As far as I could see he was a member and there were 90k+ members and 2 chats that were fully subscribed that he wasn’t part of. I asked him why he was part of a Facebook dating group and he said he has no idea. Swore on our sons life.

I have absolutely no idea how Facebook works (came off it 5 years ago) so I don’t know how these things work. Would he have had to request to join the group? Would he have had to set up a profile to join it? It said private group so I don’t even know

Glad you worked it out and it isn't anything odd or dodgy.

There's a few things here really.

Obviously it is beyond weird that you would post photos to your husband's Facebook when presumably you got rid of it because you don't like it, and it isn't your account.

That aside, if he were in the group you'd be able to see everything posted in it. The fact you keep saying it's a private group suggests it was showing as a suggestion, as that would have private group stamped next to it.

Yes you can be added to groups without requesting to join them.

Why is it "beyond weird"??

They're married and the event was important to him, he couldn't take pics of himself so his wife did & posted them for him.

Yes, it would be "beyond weird" if you did that on a stranger's phone but I don't think it is when it's your husband's phone.

Relax yourself it’s all sorted kid

MN just loves a conspiracy theory!
Solved you say? No surely there is something very weird & dodgy you have overlooked... 😂

Well, yeah, but I've been on Facebook for donkeys years and have never been added to a group without my consent.

I've been asked to join a gazillion groups and invited to like 3 billion pages no Sharon who I met once in a pub, I don't want to join your mlm page But the groups I'm on, I joined them and had to answer questions to get in.

I'm not sure I understood OP's explanation, but I suppose if she's happy with it, that's it sorted.

I forget sometimes that mumsnet is full of people who see their partner as an extension of themselves, and vice versa.

I work on the assumption that if my husband wants to post something on his social media, he will. I'm not his PR manager or secretary so I don't have any need to be using his phone. I'd be less than impressed by someone posting things on my social media too.

lol he was making a significant speech. Seriously calm down 😂

Oh don't be so ridiculous!

And I forget MN is full of people who find perfectly normal behaviour between couples odd.

Oh ffs grow up

I was on Facebook dating last year I had to request to join and type in details
It was then approved.its like plenty of fish.

In answer to your question OP, yes he would’ve had to actually join a dating group. The groups I am in on fbook are very strict about not admitting members who are in a relationship.

Does his fbook profile omit he is married/in a relationship? Does his profile state he is single? Does he post in that fbook group?

Guys read the update ffs. It wasn’t Facebook dating. It was a private group and he showed me it kept adding him automatically every time he left
