Is it true that facebook isn't for married people?

âˆžáƒ¦Ê‚iÐ¼ÏlÎµ É Ã¬Ñláƒ¦âˆž	of course not

tomnjerry	yes u r right a cheat can cheat no matter what and how he will always find a way out its all abt trust

No One	pretty much

The_Hawk	my wife is on their and I think its fine.

billy	Nothibng to it.

Country Wisdom	i think i just got two points and I love facebook.

Daisycakes	I'm married and on Fb. No problems although a few 'old flames' are on it. Hubby knows. My husband trusts me and I have no interest in exs - they're ex for good reasons!

NewOrleans Girl	Well it all depends on trust. If facebook can mess up a marriage then there was no trust to begin with. What is there to hide?

THX 1138	It's a great way to share pictures, info and reconnect. I have found a couple of guys I served with in the Marines over 20 years ago.

bayou_babe1111	either you trust your spouse or you dont. simple as that. not subscribing to a network is not going to stop them if that is their personality.

19 :)	it's for everyone! there is a place to put your relationship status. so that people will know your married. and if you don't want ex's on your friends list, then don't add them! simple as that. it shouldn't cause any problems.

Richard	facebook is great, i've connected to a lot of old girlfriends, and my wife, so that my wife is free to look at plan B, plan C, plan D, plan E, plan F, and the long list of backups that I have available.

sassycattoys.com	Yep, it's the people. Everyday (assuming you leave the house) we interact with people that could entice us into an emotional or physical relationship. The question is, do we act on it?

La Vie Boheme	Facebook is not the problem. If a person wants to "cheat", they will do it with or without facebook. A happily married person wouldn't put themselves in a position to be tempted.

banzi	I think you are right because my own daughter and son have not added me and they said mom you will get into trouble because you are married ....and interestingly they are enjoying having hundreds of friends but they always scrutinises my contacts before i add them

Don't get mad! Get stabby!	it depends on the relationship tbh, i could look at all the OH facebook texts etc because there is nothing secret there that he has to hide because he isn't doing anything wrong facebook isn't the problem, it's the cheats and people who are insecure

Megan	I think if you're an untrustworthy enough person to have facebook get you into trouble, you were probably going to get into "trouble" in another way. Don't use facebook as an excuse for indiscretions. There are ways to use facebook responsibly and privately.

Mike	Facebook is just like yahoo... or any other website. It all depends on the people who are using it. My wife and I both have facebook pages and we are friends with each other there... so she can see everything on my page and vice versa. The funny part of it is when we are both on it at the same time in different parts of the house and we chat online! We use it to keep in touch and reconnect with friends and other family members who moved away a long time ago.

ashleylynn1016	Me and my husband both have facebook and have ever since we have been together and never have had any problems. I have access to his account and he does to mine. We are on there to keep in touch with friends, family, and people we work with. If your a cheater then your gonna cheat no matter what. If not on facebook then some other way. People just want something to blame on them being scum to make them selves feel better.

Optimist	I'm on Facebook and it has never once crossed my mind to use it to start an affair. I have several exes on there, we say hi and compliment each other's families and that's it. Facebook would be the last place to use to start an affair - you will be leaving a wide open electronic trail for the world to see.

yelles	Both my husband and I are on facebook and we don't use it as a dating site. I have found a lot of friends from years ago but it's all friendship and neither of us are worried about what goes on. I communicate with family and friends overseas via facebook so I am all for it.

Anne	I don't see the problem with facebook. My husband and I have accounts. We're listed as married. We use it a little bit to keep in touch with friends who are far away, but mostly we play stupid facebook games. Can it be abused? Sure. But so can just about any other method of communication, as you say.

hotspot234	I have a facebook and my husband has one, we both know each others passwords, and his pic is on mine as my husband and so is mine on his, he speaks to old friends and everyone of them knows he is married and to whom, it is bad if you make it bad it will ruin your marriage if you allow it to.

Mrsâ™¥B	Not true at all. I have a fb and so does my husband. Half my fb friends are married. It's for anybody. I use it to keep in touch with my friends as I am not good at keeping in touch on the phone. I am not friends with any exs (unless you count my 6th grade bf, haha). If a person is going to cheat, they will find a way. Facebook is just another tool they will use.

Common sense isn't anymore..	I have a facebook, as does my husband and pretty much all of our friends. The only way you get into "hot water" is if you act foolishly, that holds true for any situation, internet or not. I also have my grandparents, my boss and our son, my young cousins and so forth on my facebook. There is nothing inappropriate, nor would there be on it. Ditto for my husband.

onelove	Facebook is a networking site, anyone who takes it that seriously to cause trouble in their own relationships is stupid. I've been with my guy for 8 years, I have a facebook that I use to reach high school friends, most of which have left the state or country. My guy also has a facebook for his friends. Don't take it serious, besides if there's no trust in the relationship, why are you together.

Rebecca A	Talking on the hone or texting is twenty times more dangerous because it's private and personal. The whole world can't hear what you are talking about or texting, which they can read on Facebook. I have a Facebook, my husband has one too, but he never uses it. All of my passwords are saved on the computer, and he's welcome to look at my Facebook/Myspace any time he wants. As long as there is trust, there should be no issues.

CorpCityGrl	You're right--it's not the site, it's the people. To say that FB isn't for married people is a load of crap. I'm on there and am married and so are dozens and dozens of other married people I know. Does that mean that we're up to no good? Absolutely not--we're adults and act accordingly. If a married person can't control themselves on line in a social networking environment such as FB, then there are bigger problems than FB in their relationship. It's about trust and responsibility.

Turtle	People who go on Facebook with ulterior motives are the ones who get into trouble. But they don't act out just on Facebook, they act out in the life, as well. I believe the majority of the people using Facebook have a grip on their lives and aren't looking for trouble. Your assumptions are correct in saying it's a trust issue, but it's also about being honest and trustworthy.
