Ok so I have been wandering how many of you guys out there use Facebook and instagram. How many of you have wifes or girlfriends. What do they think of you accounts, do they go threw your accounts, and snoop though your posts. My instagram has a bunch of bodybuilding and fitness people on it, men and woman, why cause Im into bodybuilding, and fitness.

The wife thinks Im a pig, because there are these fit woman on my instagram. Thinks they lead to porn sights, and now Im in the dog house on the end of a pole.

all thoughts appreciated.

I have both as well, and so does my wife. She has free reign to go through my shit if she pleases, but don't think she really cares. On IG we both follow a bunch of fitness/powerlifting/bbing type people, so there's plenty of half naked people come up lol. She never says anything and I don't say shit to her.

I don't have IG but I do have FB. Yes my wife snoops. It's wide open and she can look at whatever she wants on my account and I can go through hers. I hardly ever touch her phone so I rarely look at her account. On the other hand she does look through my phone at times and always seems to find something to comment on. Yes it causes trouble at times. She also has FB only and post these damn quotes all the time. A lot of them make it seem like we are having trouble so I brought it up & she has slowed down on that crap. I've shut it down for long periods just to avoid the headache.

The only ones I have now are for the sites. She really wouldn't give two sh*ts about them

Even when I had my personal one, she knew that many of the girls were girlfriends of mine while in school.
Hey are the reasons I deleted the account.. several bitch ed how bad their life was, others told you what they were doing minute by minute..

I have IG and Twitter. I think Facebook is for all y'all "older folks" (please don't hurt me). Haha. I don't need to see when Betty Lou goes to Kroger, or Zumba, or gets Susie's footprints made into a wall hanging.

IG I follow athletes, power lifters, bodybuilders, food bloggers, friends, and fishermen. I do have about 5/8 posts show up with someone more than half naked, but it is what it is. Girlfriend has IG too, and gets it. It is what it is. Guess I'm "one of the lucky ones."

My wife and I follow each other on IG, friends on FB so she can see what I see and vice/versa. She gets a lot more shmoe than I get hoochie requests but we both compare notes every once in a while. I coach WPD & Figure girls so the Online shit is nothing. She does get a little po'd when I have clients in my basement for evals and posing if she's not home. My 4yr old daughter is usually there for my safety and reports to my wife when she gets home. "Daddy touched Heidi's butt in the basenick(sp)..."

I am married and have IG (art and powerlifting stuff), Twitter (funny stuff, drunken blog, networking), FB (family and close friends only), Pinterest (home remodeling) and Tumblr (typography class requirement).

At times, all of these have caused an uproar because of their ability to instant message without a trace. IG has an option in their direct messaging that even says "Hide"... Choose that and the message gets swiped from yours and the recipients' mailbox.

That shit can get you in trouble. Think about having just bitches on your IG and you're swiping through their pictures all day while sitting by your spouse, maybe even ignoring her while browsing. The quote thing like Wallyd said is the worst passive aggressive way for women to make themselves heard and it sucks balls. We call that shit dry-snitching and it's no bueno.

Facebook can get ugly because at some point you've become friends with everyone you want to be friends with (minus new acquaintances) and FB keeps suggesting people to fuxk with based on mutual connections, so next thing you know some broad who's bored with her voyeuristic snooping finds you and says to herself "lemme see if so and so are happy..." And boom - ex-girlfriend is asking how your marriage is and spilling their problems on you.

I call all these apps soft-sells. It's easy to show interest, it's easy to ramp it up without looking like a creeper and it's easy to back off just to ramp it up again and re-generate interest. If I were a predatory thrill-seeker I'd be able to pick apart marriages based off status updates and quotes and pictures and instant messaging and likes and pokes and all that bullshit. It's valid that people are worried by this shit. 20 years ago you either wrote a letter, knocked on the door or called the fuxking house phone. Now you can set notifications to "no" or "silent", put phones to sleep, erase messages...

We have set rules as a couple, reset rules, revamped rules just to keep each other comfortable. No reason for either of us to be friends with exes or old **** buddies or hot single people that we don't socialize with on the regular. No likes for opposite sex selfies unless it's family, no likes on posts that are overly sexual, no sideways disses via quotes or comments, we put restrictions on who we can be friends with and who we can't, always try supporting each other openly to show the world we are a couple and enjoy life together...

I see it all the time: Unhappy person doesn't say they're married on FB, never posts pics of their spouse, spouse usually doesn't have social media, gets "you're hot" messages all the time because they've excepted a zillion friend requests from people they've never met... Having a bad day? A bunch of eager people waiting to support. Yeah, to support deez nuts!

Being single with social media is the easiest road to getting pussy that's existed since cavemen and wooden clubs. Snoop on, spouses. Snoop on. What might seem innocent to one could seem devious to another.

I have both but my IG is for my company - which involves fitness so there are lots of yoga shorts and lordotic postures...

A while back she went thru my Facebook messages. She found nothing and felt bad and told me about it. I was pretty furious but kept calm. She knows my privacy is one of the most important things to me.

So i told her anytime she feels the need to snoop simply ask and I will hand her my phone right then and there.

She knows to stay out of my business at tid and ug but can see my fb messages and IG comments.

She has never asked though.

I will admit to having gone thru her phone though.

I have neither, mainly lack of interest and of course privacy. My wife has Facebook, I don't snoop unless she shows me something. She also has a Facebook page that is for spouses of people who work with me. It is a running and not so untrue joke that our wives know where we're going before we do. I think if I did have an account it would drive her nuts and I would have to let her see it.

I'm not on facebook or IG or anything other than a few car related forums and a few lifting related forums. I have a twitter account but I rarely post anything there.

Facebook is bad news, IMHO.

Mrs Flex has a FB account, but it's under a fake name just so she can follow her family drama. LOL. I have no idea why she even bothers. She has no 'friends' and no one she knows IRL other than her sisters/mom knows of the account.

She has a pinterest account for recipes and girly stuff. I never snoop because I don't need to. But she has no password on her computer and she leaves her windows open to her FB and e-mail all the time so I could if I wanted.

We're both very open with each other. No secrets.
