Would also like to add that I find it majorly TACKY when people announce major relationship changes like divorced/separated/it's complicated, with their spouses on FB. Gross. I have had relatives do this and it's just drama every time.
A high school acquaintance/FB "friend" went through a break up - moved out, announced he had cheated AGAIN, etc... then without any fanfare, they were back together because she was talking about him... now I want to gag whenever she makes a post like "I have the best husband ever"...
Yeah that's just obnoxious. Not to mention, the Internet is irrevocable. Why put all your personal crud out there for future generations to know? Tacky to the max!!
I swear - Facebook has made me dislike human beings more than any other Internet application around. This is tough to do given how horrible stuff on the Internet can be. I used to think Facebook was so innovative and was awesome at reconnecting people, sharing pics with family, yadda ya. But now I've decided that because I only connect with people I know on FB, it sucks because I now realize I don't want to know that much about everybody. That's the sucky part. Now I don't like people I even KNOW. Therefore, I've decided Facebook is not making society better. lol.
Let's go back to letter writing.
This is SOOOO true. I liked my friends a lot better before FB.

Really? I find this really strange.. My IRL friends are the same on FB as IRL.

Nope, we are not FB friends. I'll keep you company being an odd one out.

Most of you know I joined the FB thing really late and I still stay under the radar with a lot of people (esp my parents, brother, and extended family). DH joined months after I did, b/c his brother was giving him crap. DH's friends and family don't know I'm on FB, so he and I haven't bothered being friends either. Those would be the only people we'd have in common from his friend list. He is friends with a few of my FB friends (which bugged me at first), but they've promised not to mention me being on FB. I do sometimes talk about somewhat more personal stuff than I'd prefer for DH's friends or siblings (or my parents and extended family) to read.

Some day I'll create a new FB account with my real name and be open to all family and friends.

Your reasoning I understand if you don't want to be connected to parents, and other family. If you friended him you would likely show up as a "suggested friend" on their pages and that would blow your cover.
