I've talked to people who has told me they'd like it that way so they wouldn't have to worry about other people trying to talk to their partner and they think it would decrease the chances of cheating. And I've also talked to people who told me they wouldn't like it because they wouldn't know what their partner is up to when they're apart.

What do you guys think?

Jealous over possessive over disrespectful.

You must communicate to your partner if they ask about this matter. People will let you do whatever because they trust them, but if you break the code and drama happens over the net where everyone can see it. It may or maybe the last time I talk to a person I might not be able to trust when I am working or whatever. And come to find out alot of people like starting stuff. And some don't.

I think that is a strange question. I don't have it because I live in a hollow in the mountains and don't have good reception.

My ex-bf (we were together for almost 3 yrs) didnt have social media accounts. He only had one, which was a Russian social media. Of course even if I can access it, i really didnt understand cause i dont know Russian lol

Its good to not be connected in social media with your s/o (imo) There's freedom. No constraints. No drama. And that kind of freedom is healthy in relationships.

I'd enjoy it.

Imo I wouldn't mind if we both just used the same FB. That way there's no jealousy, we look more like a family then a simple couple, and she can talk to all my family members for me so I don't look like such an a hole

Sounds great.

I'd be very happy about it! Not because I'm scared he will talk to girls online... I mean... Come on, there were extra marital affairs since stone age :/

All this facebook, instagram and all are just weird to me.

everyone keeps asking us to get facebook. and we are like NO. No thanks. everyone seems to be facebook whores or twitter whores. I have Skype to talk to my family overseas or the phone. that's about it.

this is for me one of the only social media I look at. I do look at news everyday. local news. if there's something more relevant world wide then i'll try and google the bigger news. I used to google cnn. but i'm not sure about that source anymore.
