People wish their spouses happy birthday or happy anniversary on Facebook. Is it fine to do that? I for some reason find it odd, as it seems that you are in fact obligating others to wish him/her. But I can be totally wrong. I am still learning the social networking etiquette, so don’t know much about it.
My apologies if anyone of you do that to your spouse. My intention is not to put down anyone’s method of wishing their love ones. I am just trying to understand it for my sake
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
I think that’s fine.
What’s really annoying is when they’re all mushy mush on fb. Like we don’t need to know how much you love and miss your husband when he’s at work .. every day .. -_-
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
I find it funny but I generally find FB funny and stupid at the same time. Too many strange things happen there. Not a big user, so I can’t answer the question about obligations. Perhaps there are. I know friends who got pissed off at each other because one didn’t wish the other on birthday :hinna:
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
LOL it is part obligation I think. Obviously the person must have wished the other in person, and if they forgot, I doubt they would do it via a post on f/b (warna the dude would be in for a rough time :/) . So it becomes an obligation to show “hey don’t worry, i remembered iit was my waife/hasband’s barthday”.
The funniest is when you see something like … happy birthday to my darling hubby who is the best husband and father in the whole world.
Now am I suppose to go and like that post? 
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook

So evil.
I am sorry. That is because I am 100% Pakistani
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
I find it weird not just with spouses but siblings or parents who all live under the same roof. I don’t know what’s the need to announce to the world. Why not get off the computer and go talk to the person face to face?
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
Agree.. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as long as it’s not too ott..
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
I get excited about my brother’s birthday, and I want the whole world to know it’s his birthday. So I tag him in every thing that is possible to be tagged. Of course I go and hug and kiss him too, but it just makes me so happy to know it’s his birthday. With my parents I want the extended family to remember it’s their birthdays 
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
Facebook, twitter, texts on phone, email, edible arrangements, In person
guilty as charged 
In my defense it was my 1st anniversary 
Re: wishing your spouse on Facebook
“happy secret second wedding anniversary, jaaanu?”
^ such messages I post in Craigslist’s “casual encounters” section
Nothing wrong with that. Just like in reality some couples are open & more affectionate with each other in front of others. Some men or women don’t mind giving a shout out on Facebook statuses either.
I personally don’t post a status designated just to a birthday wish but it’s his birthday today & I did wish him on his wall. Just like I wish my siblings, poking fun on the fact that even though I have wished you this is the “mandatory” Facebook wish.
Spouse or siblings, even if there is no Facebook wish. No one feels bad. I don’t however wish everyone on my friends list. I am not a big fan of people that don’t talk to you all year but will post a birthday wish once a year on your wall & before someone even asks why would one have such contacts on their list then people, Facebook is an awesome social networking tool & it has numerous privacy settings controls for a reason. Some of us don’t only use Facebook just to keep in touch with friends & family but also use it for business & politics.
