10 things not to do on Facebook if you are in a relationship

10 things to never do on Facebook if you are in a
relationship:
1. Hide things from your spouse or significant
other.
If you don't want your partner seeing who you're
chatting with online, that's not a good sign. Facebook
should not be a secretive escape from your
relationship.
2. Befriend someone of the opposite s*x your
partner is uncomfortable with.
If your partner is uncomfortable with you "liking"
photos of your ex — or chatting with your super-flirty
co-worker online — respect his/her wishes. Don't
engage in behavior that will feed insecurities or
threaten your partner. If you're not currently
Facebook friends with an ex, don't add him.
Especially in a long-term commitment relationship,
you should each trust and respect each other enough
to let each other veto online friendships with
members of the opposite s*x you're not comfortable
with.
3. Keep up old photos of exes.
Even if you never go back and look at old photos,
some of your friends might. Respect your new
relationship and delete old online mementos of your
past relationships.
4. Change your relationship status without
talking to your partner.
Relationship statuses should be discussed prior to
any online changes. (Don't abuse the status, either.
Wait until it's serious enough that most of your
friends already know you're dating someone
awesome.)
5. Deny the relationship.
If your Facebook page has zero evidence that you're
in a relationship — no pictures, statuses, links that
hint that you're attached — and your partner wants
to be acknowledged, show him/her that you're proud
to be with him/her, and simultaneously let your
flirtatious Facebook friends know that certain online
behaviors are now officially off-limits, by giving an
occasional nod to your significant other.
6. Add his/her friends or family as "friends"
before you've met them.
This is just creepy.
7. Complain about your partner or make a fight
public.
If you're in a real relationship, have real
conversations. Seek conflict resolution in person, not
online — and especially not on a Facebook wall. Don't
use Facebook as a place to vent, be passive-
aggressive, or to humiliate your partner. Ever.
8. Gush too much.
You're in love. That's great. But use terms of
endearment and "I have the best boyfriend in the
world!" statuses in moderation. Don't alienate your
loved ones — or incite major eye-rolling — by using
Facebook strictly as an excuse to brag about your
recent endorphin surge.
9. Post racy pics.
Don't upload on-vacation bikini shots. Don't share
photos of your new man "just waking up." Keep it
classy. Respect your partner by not seeking attention
from others with sexy poses and provocative
statuses.
10. Have a shared Facebook profile.
Even if you're married, the whole "2 become 1″ thing
does not apply to Facebook. An old classmate might
want to say hi without wondering which of you he's
talking to.
