I have a couple on facebook who shares a facebook account. They did have seperate accounts at one point, but then got rid of his and meshed the two. Now they do dual status, like ” We had the best weekend!”… and such. Their name is her first name, his first name, his last name. I mean, I don’t really understand. Like if he doesn’t use his, why not just delete his? My husband deleted his, and sometimes if theres pics or something funny I show him, but otherwise he doesn’t care. If he wanted to share one, I would tell him to reactivate his (which I have told him to), but he doesn’t see the point.
Anyways, for some reason it kind of (not that much) bugs me alittle, mostly because I don’t understand…. what do you guys think of it?

I just think its weird. Maybe people have their reasons, but it seems like a trust issue.

Kinda seems that way… I thought that, but still not sure if that’s the reason, or if for some reason it is more convenient?

To me it SCREAMS trust issue. I don’t understand it. I totally get like 50 year old married couples sharing a family EMAIL account…. but to me, Facebook shared accounts (which I’ve only really seen in younger 20 something couples) says “we have trust issues!”

@dkacerek:
Yeah me too. And the only couple that I know who does this, the wife seems to be the only one who uses it anyways. For some reason I find the two a bit different though.

One of my best friends and her husband do this. They weren’t big FB users when they got engaged/married so they combined to make it more convenient for themselves. It is what it is, but I would never do it.

People I know who have done this who weren’t really on facebook before they had the joint account, or were but never used it . . . for them, a shared account doesn’t seem that odd to me.
For most people though, it would be odd. There is no way my Fiance and I could ever have a shared account, for instance. It would defeat the purpose for us of keeping up with our people.

Yeah shared email accounts and shared facebook are different to me. I can’t really explain why, but a shared email seems normal, while facebook doesn’t?!

I could totally see a couple making a dual account if they’ve never had FB before, but to delete the individual ones and create a new dual account… you’re still individuals, you know!

Yeah you have a point. I don’t really remember the guy using it that much, so maybe he wanted it shared to make his life easier with everything. But now I feel like I only have the girlfriend on, not the guy, because it seems to be her using it mainly anyways….

It makes me think they have mega issues. To me it’s like going through each other’s mail all the time, with no reason.
I would never consider it.
