- dsmith_hacker 15y agoSame here. However, after a few months of not using it, she didn't care when I deleted it :)
- veyron 15y agoI was going to opine that the stupid facebook firewalls (you have to login to use a service) were the worst things I've seen, but definitely marital pressure takes the cake
- hrktb 15y agoThere's some pressure, yes. But she mostly uses facebook to network, and having a very clear and "official" statement about her familial status seems to avoid her a lot of sterile interactions and facilitate first contact. These are half private/half professional relations, and I expect Google+ to fit a lot more than facebook, but whe're not there yet.
- nbm 15y agoYou can set your relationship status to "married" (or "in a relationship") without linking it to a particular person. My mother does exactly that - my father isn't much of an online sort of person.
