Hi guys, recently I felt a need to hide some of the things I publish or post from my bf, there are times that he gets jealous even if there's really nothing to be jealous about. So sometimes I just click on settings, then 'hide from' before I post something. How about you, do you also hide some of your posts from your bf/gf? If so which posts and why?

Be careful of what you think you are hiding from him. The whole friends of friends thing could come back to haunt you. I make sure that what ever I post or whomever I friend, I would not be afraid if my husband read it.

Yup, I know... I don't hide posts about matters regarding love or relationships. Those I hide are mostly trivial, like game apps and other not so important stuffs. He's the serious type of guy and never stops reminding me to stop playing and just devote more time to my career. I did cut down on my games, now it's down to just one. I just hide my posts just to stop making an issue of it.

No, I don't hide anything from my boyfriend. No matter how mundane it is. Our relationship is built on trust and we will always tell each other what we're up to. If we lie about it, we both know it will have worse consequence then if we just told each other right off the bat. And I don't do anything that I need to hide anyway.

Glad to hear that. In my case, I only hide posts about games I play.. I'm sort of addicted to games, and he's not happy about that. He often posts sarcastic comments everytime I publish something related to the games. It's quite embarrassing so I decided to hide it from him ,now only my neighbors in the game can see them.

Not really. I'm dating a co-worker, though, soo..... I hide things from other people I work with sometimes.

Yeah I think some posts should just be kept private... if you feel it would create some gossips within the workplace, then it's better to hide it from others.

Typically when you feel the need to hide things from your spouse, that's a bad sign. However this is just a boyfriend. What happens though, is eventually your spouse will find out, and either they will start hiding things too, and you'll both grow apart from the secrets, or someone will blow up on finding out.

Nope. My bf knows everything and my fb is always updated. That would be a difficult situation to hide something.

It's good that your bf is not the jealous type.. I hide some posts but it's usually not about another guy. He just have this habit of commenting on my posts even if its only about a game I play, most often with sarcasm.

no..i don't want to hide anything from my boyfriend in facebook... though sometimes i feel that he's the one doing it..i don't want to entertain my suspicions because i trust him.. and there is no need for me to hide anything unless there is something that i should be guilty about... if he trust me too.. there is no need for him to get jealous over nonsense stuffs...=)
