Going "Facebook Official"

Question is to people that use facebook.

How long before you went "Facebook official", Who initiated it and did you talk about it before hand?

Had a few bevvys and decided to change mine, although we've never spoken about it before. Nothing to hide and all that! Be interesting to see her reaction when she finishes work!

    Relationship status update on facebook from "single" to "in a relationship with" i imagine.
    Spelling courtesy of the whims of auto correct...

    Oh right ta. :)

    Well as the poster has been with his partner for 3 months, (as he says in another thread,) https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5413341 I am surprised he left it this long!

    I would imagine most people would update the status as soon as they officially dating.
  • How old are you?

    Never changed mine. The people who matter know already.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    I'm obviously not most people. I've had a Facebook account longer than I have been married and it's never occurred to me to enter my Facebook relationship status, never mind change it.

    I don't really do Facebook though.

    Facebook? Make things official using Facebook? Seriously?

    In my day, it used to be the local weekly paper - or for Top People the Times for Hatches, Matches and Despatches

    It's a running joke with now husband that he logs in so rarely that he only agreed we were engaged just before we married and hasn't agreed we are married yet (7 months and counting....)

    But that's just it, a joke. We are married (I'm doing all the paperwork as i've changed my name!) and that was official in front of people we cared about there and then

    How long before Facebook adds another box to tick when you've had your first sh@g?

    The sad thing is that if they did plenty of people would use it. :eek:
