    My family has a private group page on Facebook, so when news needs to be shared that is considered serious, it's ok that we share it via Facebook.

    When my mom announced my engagement before I had a chance to tell my friends and rest of the family.

    Yes, that happened.

    Thankfully nothing about family, though I hear a lot about someone who considers them self a close friend on there as opposed to them actually contacting me personally!

    My ex changed his status from 'married' to 'divorced' a year and a half before the actual divorce went through. Yes, we were separated at the time, but still...

    We all know you were too good for him anyway. :flowerforyou:

    My grandma posted on facebook that my grandfather died.

    Oh....and that it apparently ISN'T ok to ask the guy who you are you listed "in a relationship" on his page to take down photos of himself on dates with other women. :angry:

    Not on my FB. It's all about the people you associate with and how you use it.

    It isn't ok since you should no longer be talking to him. Douche!

    Did you post the question on the photos or on his page or ask him in person? Either way I think that would be a red flag if someone asked me to take down pics of my history (unless you're in them; then you get to ask me to take them down) but if you asked on FB, then yeah, especially uncool. :laugh:


    ETA: Wait, these are old pics, right? Or he's going on dates while you're supposed to be together and posting pics??

    If you associate with drama-filled people and you are a drama-filled person, you will have a lot of drama on FB (but you probably do IRL, too). If you are not that type and your friends and family are not that type, FB is perfectly fine.

    I don't have drama on my FB at all. I have reconnected with friends I thought I would never see or hear from again (people who moved away in high school back before cell phones and the Internet made it so easy to keep in touch) and I also stay connected to friends and family literally all over the world in a way no other medium allows.

    I love Facebook, even with its flaws.

    A family friend and really good friend of my brother in particular passed away this past Saturday. My brother didn't tell the rest of the family (he was really sick at the time) so we found out on facebook.

    My boyfriend found out his Ex was marrying some deadbeat with multiple divorces, garnishments, and evictions and moving him in with their kids after knowing each other a whopping seven months. Break ups are a bit^& without facebook, but having it just makes everything worse.

    I found out that my uncle was having an affair. Actually, she's a second mistress. The wife and first mistress don't know about her. She wanted to go public with the relationship and started posting pics and tagging him.
