Marriage is work. Plain and simple. Anyone who just sits back and hope it works out is asking for it.
I'd hate to think of how many people are signing divorce papers because they didn't take certain steps because they didn't want to be a "pussy".

quote:Yeah, those "certain steps" involve not even letting any sort of contact that could remotely be deemed as inappropriate ever materialize. If you can't trust your partner to prevent this, then there is a more fundamental problem between the two of you. I speak from experience.

If your marriage is work then you married the wrong person.

Do you never let your wife out of your sight?

My wife and I both had accounts when we started dating. Still maintain both. We have mutual trust and know each other’s passwords. Neither would care if the other checked pm’s. I laugh at guys lame enough to have a joint account. Although I suppose there could be rare exceptions to this, the ones I know that have it have turned their balls over to their wife. I used Facebook when I was single to pick up women and am not ashamed to admit it. It was fertile hunting grounds after I was done with the bar/club scene. Now, I just get some news and keep up with friends/family. I hate talking on the phone so FB allows me the luxury of knowing what’s going on with certain people without actually having to talk to them.

Also, it was a conscious decision for accountability. Set yourself up for success. Before I was married and was on facebook regularly, I had two separate occasions where ex gf's, who were married, reached out to me through messenger to initially catch up, but eventually started venting to me how they were unhappy in their marriage, maybe shouldn't have gotten married to that person, wondered if we should have tried to make it work. I walked away from those as quickly as possible, but it was a good example of how it could be potentially dangerous when a married person has an account where they can hide things from their spouse. So when I made the choice to go with the joint account, I was ridding myself of that temptation to ever hit up old flames and just see "what's up".
Joining accounts to protect yourself from cheating kinda screams red flag.

I understand your thinking here, but if a separate FB account is a problem, you're in trouble eventually.
Also, it goes back to the original premise - people with joint accounts stem from trust issues.

Sounds like that guy has no trust in his marriage. Joint fb accounts (exclusion of old people) screams "I do not trust my spouse".
My marriage is farrrrr from perfect but at least we trust each other.

Facebook huh? LMAO you people are really sad. 7 pages about joint facebook accounts. I've always said that 75-80% of the population are idiots. Might have a higher concentration here. Have fun on facebook.

My wife and I had a joint Craigslist account in casual encounters. I was only allowed to participate if everyone was comfortable!

I know one person that was in one of these. Both of their names were on the account but the wife was the only one that used it. They ended up getting divorced.

There are two reasons why a sub-50 couple would have one:
A) They both want accounts but don't trust/jealousy leads to a joint account
B) One of them doesn't want an account, so the other spouse tacks them on just to make things cringey.
Reason B is useless, especially because people assume it's Reason A.
Reason A is a problem.

I love the lack of self awareness in this kind of post. Not only did you click on the thread about Facebook joint accounts, you're also posting on Tigerdroppings. What makes this place any different?
