Is it okay....

Is it ok to have a facebook and twitter when your in a committed relationship....

[vintagequeen]

I personally don't see a point in FB or Twitter as it can cause unnecessary drama. However, if you are in a committed relationship and you trust one another then I think that it should be okay (as long as you're not flirting with an old boyfriend/girlfriend from high school) LOL.

I had no problem with it til my boyfriend st started talking to other girls inapropritly and then cheated. So we both got rid of ours. I agree with the others though as long as you are comfortable with it.

I have FB, my husband has no interest at all.  I am almost never on FB, but it is a good way to keep in touch with my family who is spread out all over the country.  My account is under my married name, and my husband does have access to it.  He has never checked on it, but could I suppose if he wanted to.  He will go on it to see a photo of a new baby in our family or a message from a relative (I have his family as my "friends" as well) if I tell him there is something he should have a look at, so I suppose in some ways we kind of share the account.  We are pretty open about everything in our house, and I like it that way.  There are no trust issues.  So I think it's fine and as Tink said, it really depends on the type of person you are in the relationship with.

Here is the thing. . .  so many things start out innocently enough . . .

trust my husband completely but glad he has bo interest in facebook.

Tink I'm 26 and we don't have a cell phone for the same reason.  However we do Facebook and very much enjoy keeping up with friends and family we would otherwise lose touch with. If you trust your spouse there's nothing wrong with using social media but for someone prone to stray... Absolutely not.

It's not about FaceBook and Twitter - it's about People - what People will do or will not do.  It's about Character, Morality and Standards (with or without FaceBook,  Twitter etc.)  

That being said, personally, I don't do FaceBook either.  I agree with Londres in the sense that my Husband and I connect with Friends and Family the "old fashioned way",  I don't even have a cell phone!!  My Husband has one for work but I prefer to do my telephone communication at home.  I don't feel like being "slave" to a telephone on my hip at all times.  I'm the only person I know over the age of 10 who doesn't have a cell phone - Don't want one, don't need one.

First sentence of my post should read "I think it's fine to have both"

[teddybears4ever2]

I think it's dine yo have both. My husband and I each do. I think that if we used them for the wrong reasons maybe there would be cause for concern.

Will agree with Specialmom; as long as both partners are comfortable with it and it is being used in an innocuous way.  

Personally, hubby and I prefer to connect with people (friends and family) the old-fashioned way.  We don't do FB, Twitter or My Space or whatever else they have out there.  Just seems like FB has a rep for alot of serious drama and nonsense.  Nothing for us.

I don't do twitter,  but I have a very active facebook account and keep up with my high school friends,  and my current local friends and extended family.  It's great to be able to see their birthdays and wish them Happy Birthday,  and get the same,  and read they are on a fab vacation to Italy.

I can't imagine this would be a problem in my 26 year marriage.  

What's going on with the Facebook and Twitter in your relationship that's a problem?

[specialmom]

Well, it depends on how one's partner feels about it.  I don't do facebook or twitter nor does my husband.  

I think many folks have these accounts and handle it just fine.  Some, however, end up connecting with people in a way that causes some issues with their signficant other.  

So, your question is a little vague.  Perhaps if you gave more details, we could give a more detailed answer.  

But on the surface, there is nothing wrong with it as long as it is used innocently and both partners feel comfortable with it.  (I guess)
