Relationships on Facebook

What is your opinions on relationships on Facebook? And couples communicating through Facebook? Personally me and my oh are "in a relationship" on Facebook and I will occasionally tag him in a funny post / meme but apart from that we don't communicate on there. It really makes me cringe when couples are all lovey dovey on Facebook. And most of the time it's all for show. Why write on your oh's wall what you want for tea or tell them that you love them? Why not send them a private message? Personally I think really insecure people make a show of "he's mine" by writing stuff all over fb. Another one I hate is big declarations of "he bought me flowers he so amazing, thank you babe!" Why not just thank him in person? Urgh!

Why do people get so worked up about what other people do. If I wanna write on my fiance facebook everyday to say I love you doesn't make our relationship fake. If you don't wanna do that good for you. Don't like it delete them as a friend.

I guess people will have a problem with anything and everything you do.

Personally, people like you on fb annoy me more than people that are "lovey dovey".

If you have a problem just delete those people who are doing it instead of complaining about someone else's happiness.

I think what makes her annoyed is when people post things for attention. To show people how sweet their relationship is. I have a friend who does this. One if my best, and I don't want to unfollow her, but it gets a little much sometimes. :/

You wouldn't even know me an my SO were together. We never communicate on Facebook. I tell him I love him to his face. I show him the pictures I find funny. I have a friend, her and her husband have a full Facebook conversation while sitting beside each other. I just don't get it.

This is sooo annoying! I'm always finding myself "unfollowing" these irritating people! I think it just shows up people who are insecure in their relationships, why can't they keep things private. My oh treats me lovely and is a star but I would never go posting lovey dovey messages,it makes me cringe so much. People can read between the lines, the more you post on Facebook the more you let them know.

My husband and I don't have Facebook PERIOD. We got rid of it three years ago. For us it's annoying for people to talk to you online and but not in person. Awkward for old flames or people you've never been cool with sending you friend requests to be nosey. Awkward when 100 people will wish you happy birthday because they got a notification but once I got rid of it not one of those people knew it by heart or said happy birthday lol. I also enjoy my employer not having the satisfaction of stalking me like she does other employees when they call in "sick" But I agree. I think the lovey dovey stuff that's real excessive is obnoxious and those were the people I always I friended or blocked when I had it

We are listed as married. We sometimes do the lovey dovey stuff. Sometimes we share silly things. I don't feel like it has anything to do with insecurity. We've been together for almost 15 years and married for almost 14. Any insecurity that existed in our relationship is long, long gone.What we share on Facebook is just to make the other one smile. Or to remind the other one that they are loved. Yes it's 'public' in that close friends and family can see it. But it's no different to me than holding hands, hugging, or kissing in front of them. All of which we do.And honestly, if anyone on my friends list is annoyed by it, they can unfriend or unfollow me. No big deal. I won't even be offended since I often unfollow people who post religious memes constantly. I get it. There are some things you don't want to see.
