Airing out dirty laundry...

Do you blast marital issues across places like Facebook, Myspace and other social networks where you are often connected with family, friends, and colleagues?

Do you think this practice is acceptable?

I have seen it done and I cannot imagine.  Yes, people talk about it on Cafemom too.  I think the difference lies in the anonymity that can be accomplished with Cafemom. 

My profile is locked down to anyone but members so in order for family, friends or colleagues to know what I am posting they would have to be members and know my screen name here to search for post that I have replied to and posted myself.  I don't know about anyone else but that would be more work then anyone I know would want to do. lol

 I talk about marital or family probs on here but for the most part not on facebook.

The only person I talk to marital problems about is my husband, or close trusted friends that my husband has ok'd me to talk to about those issues.  I've done the same for him.  Our marriage is private, and no good comes from bad mouthing him in a public setting.

I had a friend that posted a status this morning about her husband having another affair and what his mistress' full name was.  I was shocked.  I couldn't do that.

i would NEVER plaster my issues on FB! His family is on my page... they do not need to know when we argue fight or aren't speaking; which seldom happens. they don't need to know why he aggravates me; which always happens... and the kicker it's his family they would think I was a loon and NEVER believe half the shit if i told them! hahaha to them he is a saint!!!!

 there are somethings that just don't need to be broadcast. i keep very personal marital problems between Dh and i and the one person i share things with.

The only time I talk about any family issues on FB is through private PM to a specific person. NOT in my statuses. I still believe that for the most part a marriage is private.

Well I started out being somewhat dramatic on Facebook... like a status would be.... "Fixing to put BENGAY in his underwear today...hee hee "... but then I realize how bad that looked and that it might be funny but it is putting him in a bad light so to speak.. So ive toned it down to mudane things that I know people are on the edge of their seat to know... like " Drinking coffee..yum. " boring....yes.... safer and keeping my private life private...thumbs up.

I left church one day and came home to a person from church saying something that I know pertained to a situation that happen to me at church... That pissed me off.

I don't talk about marital problems with anyone, but my husband.  Not family, friends or anyone on the internet.  I feel that once you put it out there, no matter how the situation is resolved, it's still out there.  That's one more thing that that person/those people know about your husband that they shouldn't know.

I agree with you. I don't know anyone from real life who's on this site so I can talk about pretty much anything.

I complain about him hear but I dont really know anyone.  I think facebook and myspace are tacky when I see that.  I have a cousin whos wife kicks him out every other week more or less and she is always posting things like I hate Steven James.  I wish you would crawl in a ditch and die.  Yeah who the hell knows why he goes back all the time.  I tried to be her friend when I first moved up here but there is no reason for all that and I just keep my distance now.  It makes me made when I see it.  That is just some of the tame stuff I see from her.  I dont see this stuff so much from other people. Maybe its really just her that has no class.
