I guess him just old fashioned?


Social media can be uncomfortable at times for me.

I've know two people who really tell intimate details of their lives on FB. I get embarrassed for them.

One time this person had a sleepy and disheveled looking selfie titled, "Morning dump". At other times she will post how her husband treated her and how mad she is at him.
Another person I know had his girlfriend cheat on him and posted details that would make most people blush.

I spend too much time on this damn device for sure but I just will never understand why people post this private intimate stuff. To me it's embarrassing.

but sometimes people post details about their health and their personal life on Facebook (and here, too) of a sort that I could never disclose about myself. Once it's on the Internet it's everywhere (privacy settings notwithstanding), so the idea of putting my personal life out there to the world makes me cringe.

...I know her husband. He's a good guy.
I feel so bad for him. Public shaming of your spouse should be a line to never cross in my mind.
