Do you think it's ok for your boyfriend/husband to add girls that he barely knows on Facebook?

That depends on how he handles his facebook “friends” in general.

Some people just add everyone they know by name and face as a friend. Some people are picky about who gets to be their facebook friend and who not.

So if he’s one of the folks who just adds everyone he ever knew, then why should he not add those co-workers, students who were in his grade in high school or people with who he was in a boyscout camp at age 14?

I really, really don’t think that your boyfriend/husband adding someone of the opposite gender on facebook is a reason for you to be jealous.

If you want him to have a private profile for close friends and family, ask him to make a second one. A lot of people I know have one private and one public profile. Some people even have a purely professional profile that they give to their co-workers and business contacts.

Thanks Colleen. I am just having an issue with this and need some opinions. I kinda agree with you. As long as the relationship status is known. And it is. But i personally keep mine for close friends and family. I just wanted to hear more opinions.

Thanks :D

yeah if every thought it was for close friends no one would even need it some people have hundreds and hundreds of friends on facebook. i think you should relax

No, it is Definitely NOT Okay, Unless you two have a real close bond and you trust him with everything. But other than that I think it is NOT okay. lol

Probably right. Probably the pregnancy hormones.

what makes you say that?

My view of marriage is that it is not a prison sentence. I have female friends and my wife has male friends, in real time everyday life. I trust my wife and she trusts me, we have been married for over 26 years. If I didnt trust her she would not be in my life at all. I dont do facebook as it is filled with stupid games (my opinion) that tie up too many hours of the day. I prefer emails if I cannot see the person face to face.

So if you dont trust your husband or boyfriend, what are you doing with him?

We have had some issues in our relationship that caused my trust for him to go down. We have moved on from that but its still in the back of my mind. I dont think he would cheat on me. I have seen the way he cries when i told him i was leaving for a reason im not goin into. He truly loves me. He is just stupid sometimes. Im also pregnant and the hormones are not helping. I just didnt see the point of adding all these girls. But i think i may be over reacting

Yeah. That’s not something that would bother me.

It is awkward. When I was single most of my platonic friends were women. Now that I’m married having female friends or even acquaintances seems questionable. Everyone involved questions my motives. What’s a married man doing talking to other women? My wife in uncomfortable with it, friends and family are suspicious about it and any women I befriend wonder if I have ulterior motives. I no longer have female friends. I miss having women as platonic friends but it just isn’t worth the disharmony.

Hell no.

You have a valid reason for concern. I would have a heart to heart talk with him with no else around. Let him know how you feel, and that you have trust issues with him. If he truly does love you he will understand your point of view. Work out some ground rules that you both feel comfortable with. As you get further along with your pregnancy, chances are the hormones are not going to get any better. This situation is really about YOU. He made a donation and can book any time. You don’t have that luxury.

Thank you. I will try ur advice

I think it’s fine. To be honest, if someone sends me a request on facebook i accept. Even if I have no idea who the person is. I’m sure many other people are the same way I am.

umm yes and no, its okay for them to talk to girls they kinda know i guess but if they start flirting behind there girlfriend/wifes back then thats unexceptable. if they dont care for their other half then there’s no point in being in a relationship. :) xx

Sure. I don’t see anything wrong with it unless he’s flirting with them or something like that.

there is no problem in doing such things as it is a kind of amusement and not a thing to worry about.

well it depends on how many of them there is or how long he talks to them or even ask them for there number. Im in a relationship right now and boy friend is doing the same thing so don’t worry i know how you feel.
