My gf does not like the idea of me opening a facebook account.
I used to have a hi5 account way back before I met her, but I hated the site and closed it. Never opened a myspace one, and a few months ago, she told me to get back into hi5. I told her I didn't like it, and that facebook didn't appeal to me neither.
However, recently, my brothers, and many of my friends have been telling me that I should open my facebook because I can set many privacy options (this is main concern with these sites). The other day, I opened a new account there, and I discovered that actually, it is safer than I thought. However, my gf is now mad, and wants me to delete my account, because she says that I opened it after my friends told me, and not when she told me a few months ago. After we talked, she told me she wants me to use only a shared facebook account with her but I told her that I want my own. I got nothing to hide from her, I just want my own facebook, because I can contact many old friends and other people I know through there, and share my pictures with my people without having to use other websites sepparatedly (I even offered her my password so she can check my account when she pleases but she still won't "negotiate", she just doesn't want me to have a facebook account).
The problem is that she does not agree with the idea that I'm thinking about doing it now, instead of doing it a few months ago when she told me (as I said, it just didn't appeal to me at the moment). Am I being egoistical or selfish here? Maybe some similar experiences of other people here would help me see this in a more objective angle.
Thank you for your help.
