  Whelp, this thread gave me the sads. I have learned that @sleepy33‌ thinks I'm old as fuck and technologically illiterate. @sweettooth87‌ thinks I have trust issues. And several others can't stand the fact I am one of those that choose not to have my own FB account (outside my lovely Oct13 only one). That's ok cause I still worship the quicksand you all walk on.
  
  Ok, so here's my scoop. My H got the Facebook account because I refused and our friends back home still wanted to be part of our lives. Works great since we had our LO for family now, too. No reason to have my own separate one.
  
  He tells me what is going on with them and I might look at his account, or our "shared" if you prefer, about 1x a week. Otherwise his synapsis and our text messages suffice. If I choose to post, I always sign my name.
  
  I couldn't even tell you half the people he has on his feed and don't care. I don't have one beyond the bump anonymous one because I am very private and frankly there are too many people I went to school with that I don't want hunting me down. And yes they try.
  
  He is not friended to my bump one and I only have it because I adore so many of you, that shared this journey with me, and you all were leaving.
  
  TL;DR: I don't think I'm illiterate, old as fuck, untrusting, or unlikeable for "sharing" my H's FB. Eccentric, maybe!

  To be fair, I said it was my default position. The only people I know with one account are my aunt and uncle, and they are in their sixties. So there are always exceptions, I presume. I'll save the rest of my FB thoughts for the never ending confessional...

  @sleepy33‌ that is correct! And my sads were very small ones. You should hear what my friends say about my stubborn streak and FB. #theyshallneverknowaboutmyoct13one

  @Amjoy25‌ "so many" to me is like 6. I have several medical issues and before they were diagnosed between 8-12 yrs ago, I would go to the hospital in unbearable pain and they would always think it was my appendix or gallbladder. So, they would make me drink that nasty crap and do the ct scan on me. Turns out, 12 years ago I was dx with PCOS, then followed acid reflux/IBS, then followed an ulcer in my stomach. When I have cyst rupture, it doesn't just automatically dissolve itself like it is supposed to, it floats up into my stomach and gives me severe pain, which isn't normal. Discomfort is obviously expected when a cyst ruptures but this goes beyond that. That has lead to lots of tests, surgery, etc. I even had a golf ball size blood clot on my left ovary that had to be removed. I've had 4 surgeries (5 including CS) all relating to my lady bits. No bueno.
  
  ETA: I have more medical issues than that, but that's what caused most of the CT scans.

  @inn2 is it both your names or just his name?  The only people I know with a joint Facebook have it 

  because there isn't trust in their relationship.  Like she checked his FB messages and deactivated his acct for him then said he was no longer allowed to have one.

  @muffyvonmuff‌ It is only in his name. He basically hands me his phone and says check out what so and so is/are doing. I look, maybe respond (rarely and signing my name) and hand it back. All our friends and family are aware and are used to my eccentricities. No trust issues here. Hard to have trust issues when both people are open books.

  Oh this doesn't bother me at all then. I get not wanting to have your own, but sharing one is what's weird. Like the name is Bob and Jane Smith. It sucks for tagging names and you just don't know who it is responding. I think the way you do it is just fine.

  Exactly.  Its only weird when both names are being used.  It sounds more like use just borrow his Facebook everyone in a while since you sign your name and I assume he doesn't since its just his acct.
