If you feel like it’s too tacky for you to like this post then you ought to be in a different list on that woman’s profile.
Such status are usually only meant for close girlfriends or sisters because sometimes these women are the same women who do get to hear about all your “romanchicness” outside Facebook as well.
Even when I post my child’s pictures. At times I strictly enforce privacy on certain pictures. It’s not because I have something to hide, it’s because Facebook is an awesome tool to share stuff & since you don’t share everything with the whole world. You can pick & choose a certain “list” of people that will be genuinely happy & not weirded out to see a particular post.
I usually do it for my wife (without being mushy) since her family is in Pakistan and I want them to know that her birthday and our anniversary is a big deal for me and that I care for their daughter/sister a lot. Makes them at ease for marrying her abroad.
Married women do it on my Fb all the time. Be it 1st OR 7th anniversary. I always like and comment, especially if the person is a relative or a gd friend. Un ki khushi mein meri khushi. It’s good to see happy couples and that the wife is wanting to express her love on FB for the public. I don’t really mind and it doesnt affect me.
Lol… I always think it’s insecure couples who do stuff like that. There’s a woman we know who, after her first marriage failed got married a second time, to a guy from Pakistan who was living in the UK on a student visa (in reality he was actually working rather than studying). He’s quite a few years younger than her and there was a lot of speculation that he only married her to get UK citizenship.
Anyway whenever he’s away from home for whatever reason, she’s always posting stuff on his facebook along the lines of “Missing you my sweet darling husband, can’t wait until you’re back home” …To me that translates to…
“Don’t leave me…Please… For the love of God, DON’T LEAVE ME!!!”
I think it’s better when done privately. After all, isn’t wishing in person or on the phone better than leaving a text on FB? And I can definitely see how it would not only create a feeling of obligation but it can trigger the feeling/need to “keep track o score” of whether your partner and other loved ones wish you.
I’ve never wished the husband on fb. Some things are better in person, no? But I have no issues with friends who pour their heart out on fb.. makes social networks much more entertaining
