normiss 622 #1 March 2, 2012 Seriously, why do people do this? It comes across as insecure. Why the need to abandon the individual? My sister and her new insecure boyfriend have one now. He insisted on her not having an individual FB profile. WTF??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #3 March 2, 2012 It comes from insecurities and mistrust in the relationship if you ask me. I know a few people that have them. I personally think it's a retarded idea. If you're so insecure about your relationship that you can't trust your SO to be on Facebook then you shouldn't be together in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalesna 0 #4 March 2, 2012 Hell, I rarely even friend an SO. Let's me talk about them behind their back without them being able to find out about it. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #10 March 2, 2012 here's how it works.... there are a minimum of Three entities to any couple..there's the guy there's the gal and there's the couple each one NEEDs to be cared for, encouraged, listened to, and allowed to thrive..... when that happens the 3 can sometimes increase to 4 , 5 or more.. depending on how extensive the "role Playing" might get...i'm a big fan of individuality... except of course when it comes to skydiving,,, I'd rather do an AnySize "way" over a solo, anyday....

rehmwa 2 #11 March 2, 2012 I don't get it, personally. however I suspect that if you ask 10 couples that do it just why they do it, you will likely get 10 reasons for it. and most likely will understand all 10, and actually not have any issue with over half of them (if you were to apply to yourself) Just assuming they all 10 are insecure freaks isn't reasonable. Not everybody is your sister and her boyfriend. And don't forget, even if he insisted on it, she also let him. Edit: they only reason that I can come up with is that it's nice to only have to post one set of pictures if you want to share them with both sets of friends. My wife and I have posted duplicates (we have individual accounts) just for this reason. ...

missbrz 0 #12 March 2, 2012 I agree. Not everyone with a "couple" account is crazy. My parents kinda have one. My dad doesn't have a facebook, but likes looking at our family's pictures every now & then. So my mom gave him access to hers. They didn't change the name to a joint name tho; he can just go in it whenever he wants. He also doesn't post as her. I don't think it's weird b/c he doesn't want to do the whole social media thing.

Shotgun 1 #16 March 2, 2012 I know several people who have "couple" profiles. Both older couples who don't seem insecure at all. I think they just can't be bothered with having two separate accounts. With one account, they can have all of their pictures in one place. And if they share a computer, then they don't have to keep logging in and out of separate facebook accounts. It sounds like your sister's boyfriend might be a control freak, but that doesn't say anything about other people who choose to have a couple account.

adagen 0 #17 March 2, 2012 Some couples do it because they're not really into FB and the like so they do the minimum to allow them to keep in touch with people and events. Some do it because one of the couple is more sociable and 'manages' that aspect of life for both of them. One day there's going to be a divorce case that gets seriously acrimonious over ownership of the FB account and friends. It will be resolved by FB stating that the joint account violated its Ts and Cs, and deleting the whole thing. At which point someone else will realise it's the only way of getting data deleted from FB. Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
