Yeah, it's a little strange to have a joint facebook.

I do find it a little strange, but to each it's own.

I wouldn't do it. I've been married 9 years and we've never had joint accounts.

It really puts me off. It's like they no longer see themselves as independent people, but as one unit, like Himandher Smith.

It's a non issue to me but I do find it a tinge odd.

I don't think it's weird, but I wouldn't do it.

I will always have mine myself. But I have no problem with joint accounts for others.

I don't get the point.

Probably not-seems a little strange.

I think it depends. My husband doesn't have an account, but most of his family and a bunch of his friends are on mine. So, I guess without saying that it's joint, it pretty much is.

Seems strange to me, just because you're in a relationship does not mean you're the same person.

It's a bit odd, but their own business.

I think it's a little odd, but I see how it can be desirable.

I think it's a little weird, but whatever you're in to, I guess. It's about as weird as your babies, pets, and inanimate objects having their own FB pages, haha.

I don't like them, simply because in my experience, they are just awkward. For instance, I may be friends with someone and have never met their husband/wife. But I friend them, because hey, I want to friend this particular person that I know in real life. But then their SO, who I don't know at all, shows up on my page, commenting and relating things that are out of context because this person doesn't know me! And yet, he/she feels obligated to be friendly with me as though we are familiar with each other, because I'm on their friends list, and I know their partner. It's weird. You guys are individuals. You don't HAVE TO do everything as a unit, especially where it makes no sense.

Ehh, I don't care.

I think that it may be okay when you are married or have been in a long-term relationship for awhile... but just newly dating? I think not. Seems like a control issue. Not that it couldn't be in a long-term thing or being married, but in those relationships people are more likely to not have much time for facebook. It's easier for them to check in with family and friends at an allotted time, together, I would think.

Thats my guess, anyway.

I think this may be bother you because it seems that they no longer have their own identities. And that could be very dangerous, if not a little sad. Also, it ay be hard to speak to one's friend if you know her husband/boyfriend/part ner may be reading what your saying. So from that perspective it would bother me a great deal. And it would probably stunt the friendship as a result.

I wouldn't get a joint facebook, I mean fb is so you can communicate with your friends and have social networking, if you had a joint account that'd be confusing and wouldn't serve the same purpose
