Reasons we have and love our joint account: Facebook doesnt allow you to delete multiple people at a time and when Eric and I got back together we had a bunch of random guys and girls on our Facebooks so we were going to make new ones anyways. Eric and I didnt go to the same high school so theres no way I would be able to meet all of his old friends and vice versa... it was a little hard at first but we eventually learned who everyone was on our Facebooks and now when we see someone in public we can have a normal flowing convo which is SO helpful for me because Im very very shy and sometimes I come across as being rude... so instead of standing there awkwardly I get to say hey I loved your post about your kids, they looked so cute in their soccer uniforms. and bam, weve both made new friends. Second part of that, is ERIC TALKS TO EVERYONE... I definitely dont. Im an introvert but Im trying to break out of that... when I see someone I know in public I ignore them well now.. Eric is like hey... isnt that your friend? and Im like no... and he says yes it is go say hi and nudges me... so I do and then guess what THEY ARE SO HAPPY TO SEE ME... AND they heard I was coaching and want to put their child in... wow a business opportunity I would have lost from being shy and Eric gets to meet a childhood friend he would have never met if we had seperate Facebooks. Same goes with his family, they used to all think I was rude but through Facebook I can interact with them without being uncomfortable and it makes it easier when I see them in public. The list goes on... and here is where the TRUST ISSUES start... Just because Eric and I have exs and family of exs that we still are fond of... doesnt mean we cant talk to them... We know who EVERYONE is which ELIMINATES trust issues... so I can comment on something of Erics exs and he can too.. or vice versa... and it happens ALOT. We both like some of our exs now... and we made them a positive factor instead of a negative one. Eric and I are best friends more than were a couple and it makes it easier for people to tag US rather than tag one... because were always together and because we have the same kid... no need to tag both. Ever deleted a pic and looked back on Facebook for it? and then been like... shit babe did you post it or me? well we dont have that problem.. we know its on THIS facebook... lol its just hiding in an album. As a couple, we have a social media rule.. and that is, that if its an ex.. they have to be friends with both of us.. not just one of us.. and so I have exs on snapchat, instagram, twitter, etc and Eric too! but since we all talk on FB and know theyre not a threat it makes life so much better... you might say thats a trust issue but its because we have NO trust issues... I think if you cant openly tell your spouse who someone is and be friends with them and let your SPOUSE be friends with them... then you have a problem or youre hiding something and this is something we have to deal with in a social media world. And thats probably why Eric and I have been more successful than couples who break up EVERY week and POST every week how much they hate each other.. like were still good over here? had a joint facebook for over two years and weve been together for four... we are STRONG. Anyways, if youve posted that you hate couples who have a joint account its because thats how YOU would feel if you had a joint account... youre sharing your own trust issues because you wouldnt make that assumption otherwise... not trusting each other is the LEAST of our worries... we spend our time loving each other, having fun and hanging out with our son... while you spend your time stalking your dudes page and leaping at his phone... or chasin that child support check and you want to post that other people have issues.... .. IM. JUST. SAYING.... SORRY NOT SORRY.
