Would you share a joint Facebook page with your spouse/partner/mate?

[Sir Harry]

To piggyback on my last post. One of my friends recently had a brain tumor. She is recovering nicely, but due to excessive sensitivity to light and many headaches, her husband (who does not have a Facebook page) logs on to her page and identifies himself and keeps us posted with her updates for her. So this is one rare exception I could understand sharing a page and/or logging onto your mate's page...but to do it otherwise I feel there may be some trust issues.

Been married for 44 years and no Facebook for us. That being said I do have a couple e mail accts wife doesn't know about ...just sayin. So no If we had Facebook we would not share.

I've also been married for 44 years and although we share many common interestsetc I personally have no interest in FB, Twitter and all the rest.  Like oldbaldguy I do use a separate email mainly for slybaldguys as my wife, who incidentally like my bald head, thinks I am a bit obsessive about bald heads!!!

I do share a Facebook account with my wife, but our use is rather limited.  Neither of us post very much, and when we do it is basically to share photos of significant events with our extended family members.  We probably average one post per month. 

It started as her account, and I would occasionally log on to see something posted by a family member or friend.  I did not want to go through the hassle of creating another account and adding all our family and friends, so we just added my name to her account.  We do put our name at the end of our posts so friends will know who posted.

I have noticed that some people post every detail of their life, that just seems obsessive to me.

My wife has a FB account its an easy way for her and her family that is spread all across the country to keep in touch together. I personally have no interest in fb friends and family have finally given up and stopped asking me to join after several  years. If someone wants to get in touch they no how to get a hold of me. I don't have anything against it i just don't get why it can become so important to some people? it has its uses though i suppose

One of my friends had a joint account with his wife. They separated for a few months and he then got his own page. His wife changed the name on the joint FB account to reflect her name only. Soon after they got together, the wife deleted me from what is now her page only, and I was not offended. I'm not too quick to delete people, but given I hardly knew her, I was ok with the deletion.

No way would I ever even remotely consider sharing a Facebook account with my wife.  We are both fiercely independent with different personalities, likes, dislikes, friends, et cetera.  We both use Facebook extensively for different purposes and have many different online friends.  We respect each other's privacy and neither one of us would consider sharing an account.

Those friends on Facebook that I have that do share accounts overwhelmingly have one user that's active and the other either passive on not active at all.

No, to me in a relationship you should cultivate the uniqueness of your partner, not suffocate it. But I do respect and understand those who choose to do it.

I think it is best that you have your own accounts, but before I would marry someone again I would have to trust them enough that any passwords for any accounts I would have (I wouldn't hold back any accounts)
