facebook post...

[HappyNewLife]

I don't even have my personal status listed on FB. I'm not single, engaged, in a relationship, ....but it's complicated-- NONE of that. I have NO personal status. People who know and love me know about my relationship status. And my fiancee certainly knows how much I love her. I find FB way too false and fake and it takes 2 seconds to repost something without any meaning behind it. It doesn't bother me what other people do with their statuses, but I really hate when people go from "is in a relationship" to "in a relationship but it's complicated". Screaming for attention much?

I am one of those annoying every pic is a couples pic, but that is because DH and I have a joint FB page. I had my page originally for a long time and we both had MySpace pages. Then when we started dating, we became a magnet for stalkers (his ex-wife, her friends, her family, etc.) and everything was ruined when we got engaged and they stole our engagement photos and posted them on a different website.

To avoid dealing with her in the future (discussing things rationally is not a strong point), we both deleted our individual MySpace pages and moved exclusively to Facebook. Since I already had a page, I changed my last name to something that everyone calls us (a nickname) and put his name as my middle name. Our privacy options are completely locked down and you literally have to know who we are to find us. In addition a number of people are blocked from our page (even some of DHs family members) because they are friends with her and her friends and family and we want absolutely no fb link to anyone.

We both log in and post (but not the silly conversations up above) and we try to always identify who is posting. For example:

WannaB & MrH: Mr is headed to Ukraine in search of mini-giraffe

or

WannaB & MrH: Wanna is sad the Cowboys lost

I figure to each his own...we use fb to share photos and keep up with friends and family and that works for us...
