Is Facebook immature for a married woman?

Question

I have a Facebook account that I enjoy going on from time to time to get in touch with friends and to see what they have been up to, etc.

My husband is very against the idea of me having one though, and I am not sure whether or not he has a point. He has no reason to believe that I would cheat (because I wouldn't) and it's not like I flirt with anyone on Facebook or anything like that. I am convinced that he thinks that because I am married it's immature or something.

What do you guys think? I mean, I know of plenty of people who are married and have a Facebook account (one of them even has a phD!), so I think it's OK...but not sure...

Answer 1

I think it would be immature if an adult were on it 24/7 and checking it several times per day. I have a MySpace account that I check once every couple of weeks. I don't obsess about it. I wouldn't worry about how you appear if you're using it to keep in touch with a few close friends or even family.  

Answer 2

Im married - and i have facebook....

My husband is a little insecure at times, so i just give him my password and he can go on there to see what i have been doing ... and then hes ok with it

Answer 3

its immature if you obsessivly are checking it and updating and gossiping. but if its just a fun and social pastime, then just enjoy it!!

Answer 4

He should just get over it. Doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong to me.  

Answer 5

I am very happily married. I have an account and so does he. We both can access each other's accounts, as we know each other's passwords. Its not that big of a deal.

There are a lot of applications that can get you into trouble. We don't have any of them on our profiles.

I have reconnected with a lot of friends using Facebook. It keeps me in touch and it keeps me updated with what everyone is doing. Its fun but it lost its appeal a long time ago.

Answer 6

You have to understand that A LOT of guys use FaceBook and MySpace for hooking up.  I have a lot of friends too, and I have their cell # and their email, so I dont have to login someplace to talk to them.  

Answer 7

I'm married.  I have both Myspace and Facebook.  It's more convenient to keep in contact with my family and friends especially since everyone lives in different time zones.  If you're short on time, you can check on a friends page to see what they've been up to.  So it's not immature in my opinion.

Answer 8

Facebook account is just another way to keep in touch with friends But he might feel that someone might hit on you. Show him how it works and your friends list. There are also settings so nobody can see your profile except your friends and fairly secure.

Answer 9

No way! I'm married and have a Facebook AND a Myspace account. I thank God for them all the time because it is the best way to keep in contact with friends and find old friends. Maybe you should set up an account for him and show him how many old friends he can find on there...that way he will see first hand what it is. Then ask him if its "immature"..;-)

Answer 10

My hubby thinks my 43 Things list is a waste of time, but I think the same thing about the time he spends in the guitar forums... In the end, if you're not doing anything wrong or it's not interfering with your "together" time, then it's no big deal... he doesn't have to understand it anymore than we have to understand their hobbies...

Answer 11

No!

You can keep up with your pals on there.

Enjoy!

Answer 12

If your husband is against it then why are you still on it.

Answer 13

I hope not because I'm married and have a Facebook account. I agree that maybe you should get him to join so he can see that there is nothing to worry about.

Answer 14

If you were my wife, this would be totally okay with me!  Lets face it!  My very own wife is a woman- a human being just like me!  I let her do what ever, makes her a happy happy woman.  I give tons of space and freedom to do what ever she wants-what ever she pleases!  As long as we both love and trust each other to the max!   In fact, I insist on my wife to date other men if she wants to.  This does not bother me a bit!  Its the many long years of marriage-that has turn me into this!  I trust her!  She loves me and is very much happy with me.  Believe me-trust me!  There is absolutely no one in this world that can replace her!  She and I are like one in a Zillion for each other!  She spoils me and I spoil her! No woman in this world can handle a guy like me at all! I may make a wonderful guy friend, but I am the worst husband in the world for other women out there!

Answer 15

I think it's a great way to have fun and stay in touch with friends. I say please yourself and forget what he thinks about it. I mean geez, whats the use in living if you can't enjoy life.

Answer 16

No, I have a myspace account and it's great to keep in touch with certain people, without it I probably would have lost touch with a lot of great people. Have you tried to talk to your husband about making him one?  My husband didn't really like myspace that much until he asked me to make him an account just to see what it was all about, once I didn't he kinda understood it.
