It's been how long?

Me:  Are you ok with me changing my status to:  "In a relationship with MR.FF"

Mr.FF: YES!!!

Me:  What? 

Mr.FF:   Yes I am OK with that.

Me:  Really?  I mean if it's too much or too....i don't know...*blushing smile*

Mr.FF:  Ooooohhhhhh (and this is when he calls me by my last name)

Me:  Whhhhaaatttt? 



Right?  Ya'll it's a big step changing the facebook status no?
 
We've talked about this before and just threw it to the side, cause it's so silly.  So juvenile, really. 

Except.  Maybe it's not.  Maybe it's a step in a direction, an admittance of "taken" to those that are our friends, to each other. 
 
No.  It's silly.  Either way. 

Just look at our pictures and you can tell...we do everything together. 

Except.  When I posted a Buffett picture of us together a mutual school friend commented...
 
"Nice picture, am I missing something?"
 
To which I answered...
 
"Yeah you are...an awesome concert."

I sometimes feel like we are denial of our relationship status, publically at least.

The kids and I were sitting at Onion's practice one night and we ran into a guy that went to school with me (and Mr.FF).  After a few minutes talking he asked if I had a son on the team. 

"No, I'm here watching ...."  I started to say.

"My mom and Mr.FF are boyfriend and girlfriend."  Bubba blurts out.

My cheeks reddened.  The guy laughed.

So I continued "We are hearing watching Mr.FF's son practice."

"I haven't heard it called boyfriend and girlfriend since high school."  He laughed again.

I know.  It does sound funny.

This post is all for naught.  Apparently the status is sooo silly that I'm sitting here HURT over him ignoring my "in a relationship with..." status request because he's questioning my motives about wanting to change it. 

Which has now gone down hill pretty quickly.

  1. Oh man. The Facebook status change.

    I went through that with my divorce. We talked about when we were going to change our status to single and it was decided that it wouldn't be until after the divorce was final.

    Well, he changed his status WAY before it was final and I was pissed. It is just silly, I mean, it's facebook! But really it's like announcing it to the whole world so it IS a big deal. Even if it shouldn't be.

    So I totally understand! I was just so frustrated I almost deleted my facebook account.

    Ugh. Facebook! Ew.

  2. I'm weird about FB. I say very little there as I'm very private. However, I'm more candid on my blog. Plus I'm very paranoid about divulging personal info to potential advertisers.

  3. Maybe it is because you are worried that if you announce it publicly then it will be real and if it is real then there is the potential for something to go wrong... Just askin'.

  4. As you can probably tell I have pretty much given up on facebook, lol.

  5. Oooo, I hear ya. I completely removed that status from being visible a while ago just so there wasn't the pressure of changing or not changing it. I've got enough issues of my own without adding facebook pressure!

    Tell you what. Say you are in a relationship with me. Then think of all the fun comments, questions and blog fodder we'll have. Bwahahaha!!!!!

  6. FB appears to me to be pretty juvenile. What makes it necessary to announce relationship status? It's really just important to both of you. As far as doing everything together, that got to be really suffocating after a few years. It's nice to do some things apart too.

  7. I hate facebook. My husband is never on it....and some people think that since he doesn't ever comment on our stuff we are "in trouble"

    It is totally reasonable for you to be hesitant. And totally reasonable for you to be thinking all you are. But really, he knows you too dang well, knows why you hadn't changed it yet, and also knows what it means that you even thought of it.

    Girlfriend giggles for you!
