facebook is not addicting. i only log in every now and then to update my pics and probably write on some walls .. about it. i know some can be on it all night and day .. crazy and stupid i must say.
^ yupz i know a few people who constantly update their status on facebook throughout the day as for me....i dun see whut the huge craze over it either....thas why i closed my acc.
^ well you don't have to close your account per se .. i thought about it too but ever since i opened the account, i was able to reconnect with a lot of friends from grades school to colleges .. it's amazing that people don't write email yet they will write lots of shit on your wall. they're active there instead and i dunno why.
^ Cause you can add albums, join groups, join events, play games, listen to music, and do all sorts of crap. The main reason are the photos. Its just so much easier to share your photos with friends over facebook.
ye being able to share photos is such a useful tool and its very useful for u to get back in touch with old friends and colleagues who u wouldn't go about phoning but would like to get in touch and u didn't know their e-mail.
As juvenile as that may seem, there is that distinct possibility. Some husbands, especially insecure ones, can be extremely childish about who their spouses come in contact with. It doesn't matter their degree or level of education either. I've seen very well educated people act like two year olds when it comes to jealousy or envy. The friend, in this case, may have simply removed the contact just to shut her husband up because she got tired of the nagging. :laugh: No convoluted reasoning or rationales, just a husband carrying on like a toddler...
nah i closed simply coz i was sick of all them emails...!!...and i dun use it no-mores so i just closed to save me the hassle of people saying they've found me and how come i havent added them etc.....
HA HA HA i just went through the same situation about 10 minutes ago last week my bf asked to send a message to an old friend via my facebook (since he doesn't have one) and i found that his name was off my friend's list. I kept searching and i guess he must have just closed his account. But today i saw intereaction between him and another friend. What does this mean? It means he deleted me! ~Sigh~ Over the years he has avoided me. And I know why. The reason is stupid. It's not even because of him. It's his gf is jealous of this ONE incident of him feeding me food on my 21 run because i was so drunk and puking everywhere. Cause she and him weren't in the same city of course she thought the worse. We still hung out a lot until me moved away. After he moved away he barely talked to me again (yet he talks to the rest of our friends). That incident has been more than 3 years ago. He moved away 2 years ago. and he decides to take me off his facebook account now (sometime in the past two montshs).
IN MY OPINION, being married = being busier and being a busy adult = worrying less of these little things and more on the more important things in life -- work, wife, kids, contemplation of having kids, graduate studies, etc. Put one and one together and I guess, I'm surprised that you're taking this up the ass.
I am married but I am done with grad school and I don't have kids. I am busy at work; however, all my workload are done on a computer at the office and home aside from meeting clients. (so a lot of time to kill on the comp) Anyway, this is just spurt of the moment thing .. I don't go blabbing all days and nights about it too. I made a posting to vent it out at that moment and see if ya'll have similar experience to share .. not going about it in and out. Why I responded to postings? Since ya'll directed it at me so I just addressed the responding post like yours. @small - so how do you feel? good or bad?? @ralph & Bigc - do you really think so? I am married and so is she; there is nothing between us. She's not pretty anyway but I do give her credit for having a big heart and super super nice (at least when we were in college). I remember whenever my car died, she rushed to pick me up on the freeway or whereever; helped me with my shoppings and housechords when I was out of town; comforted me whenever I was down or broke up with my girlfriends. We were close buddy.
IMHO, I don't think it had anything to do with you at all. Spouses can be pretty petty, regardless of the circumstance. Often, people make adjustments in their social lives to solve some manner of domestic discontent, or to keep the peace at home. Better to be thought of as antisocial than to have a wife (or husband in this case) go ballistic. It it were me, I would just cherish the memory of a good college friendship and leave it at that.
^^yea it probably doesn't have anything to do with you but if she was helping you with all those things in college and her bf knew about it he might have gotten jealous or he may have thought that she might like you... honestly though, if you maintained a good friendship, I'm surprised that you had to find out threw facebook that your friend was married and that you did not get an invitation to the wedding. At the same time maybe he is the type of guy that doesn't want his gf now wife to hang out or socialize with guys at all. I always say give people the benefit of the doubt. If you really wanna keep in touch maybe give her a call and if she mentions she got married then you could say congrats. Other than that I would leave it alone since she lives on the other side of the country; let bygones be bygones and as ralph said cherish the good times that you had.
I've moved on .. case closed. I don't dwell on it anymore. Whatever the reason was, not important to me anymore.
thats y facebook is bad for your health i think its not a big matter...he/she deletes u... add them again...if they delete u again...then ask them wtf is the matter with you... that would be if u know the person that is...
^ i never make a mistake twice nor believe in second chance in my life. so no .. i am not gonna add her again. game's over.
seriously, agree with phyphy, fb is so bad. or i guess any social networking thing. i guess it kinda helps people keep in touch, but then people start to obsess over how many friends they get and if they delete them and stuff evo, flaming : -noclue i never disappeared!!
