This comment was by Michael Samm in reference to the post –Her Husband Won’t Friend Her on Facebook, and She Doesn’t Know Why
This COULD be a red flag, but I think it is important to consider that your husband likely views his social-media time as “alone” time, and perhaps your insistence that he include you in that is unreasonable.
Please understand, not knowing the dynamics of your relationship, I’m kind of shooting in the dark here, but just based on the piece you wrote, are boundaries really so unreasonable? People NEED alone-time, and considering your description of your lives, it sounds high-stress to me. It really isn’t a question of love or acceptance…it’s a question of needing time to yourself. I understanding that given the small amount of time you are able to spend with the man you love, you view this as a betrayal, but maybe it isn’t.
Maybe he just needs that time? Maybe you should allow it?
