Facebook...Fun or Dangerous? - Momtourage: Blogger Knows Best
Momtourage > Blogger Knows Best > Facebook...Fun or Dangerous?
Stacey Smith

I originally set up my Facebook page for business purposes, but a few weeks in I started receiving 'friend requests' from people I hadn't spoken to or seen in 15 years. I have to say, it was so much fun reconnecting with many friends from high school, college and summer camp days. I had explained to my husband how much fun it was and since he wasn't technical, I set up his facebook page. That was 2 months ago.

He is now as addicted as I am.  So he tells me the other day that he has reconnected with this old 'girl' friend ("JUST A FRIEND") from High School days and it's been so nice speaking with her and getting reacquainted! Now, I have always been the type of person who says men and women can't be friends. I've tried it all throughout my life. It's just not possible. There is always that underlying flirtation, either one-sided or from both sides.

So, I went along with this 'just a friend' statement. Until he mentions that they have spoken on the phone a few times. Something just wasn't feeling right about it. So, I did something I never thought I would do...I logged into his Facebook profile.  MISTAKE!  Their exchanges contained statements like..."love u 2", "glad we don't live closer, our spouses wouldn't approve of our relationship", oh it goes on.

What to do now?  HELP. I'm sitting here slightly devastated and not really sure why. Yes, I'm pregnant with our 3rd child and I'm sure that the hormones aren't helping matters, but what do I do with this new information?

I'm reaching out to my Momtourage. Can you help me with this? THANKS!

i think you should tell him that somehow you are feeling jealous and it could be the hormones but you just need more support from him and understanding and that if it was the other way around how would he feel if you were talking to a " an old friend" as much.... and maybe he will get conscious about it and correct the situation if there is something to be corrected.

hang on, he is probably just remembering old days, you mean to him. just be closer to him . and face it being on th einternet is time taken away from our family so just be with him so he will be woth you. I tell you I use to fight with my husband over why he has to go out with the guys and I stay home, now I do not fight with him I just enjoy his presence and he does the same and he does not go out anymore. Listen men do not like nagging so be positive and just be close to him. you might be exhausted and tired but telling him that you love him is probably what he is missing. 3 children together , how many years,
count your blessings. I think he loves you but just being drafted away.
good luck

Thanks for the information and thanks for the sharing

No, its not the hormones, its natural to be jealous, you can always de-activate his account.

Wow!! I almost did the same exact thing in setting up my husband account. And then I started to get really nervous. Thinking about all the girls who fell in love with my husband years ago and would want to just "talk". Yikes!! I just flat out told my husband that this was noooooooooo good and would only cause problems. I'm soooo glad I did and that somehow by the Grace of God I had the forethought. I'm sure things have worked out great for you as it is the following year. It is great that you posted that as I'm sure you have saved many women from the same scenario. Thanks!

I recently posted on truuconfessions.com about how dangerous I think facebook is for this reason alone. I would discuss it with him (without incriminating yourself). I have a facebook account but luckily my husband has no interest, thank goodness.
