Dear Joint Facebook Account Owners,
Let’s get straight to the point—this isn’t going to be a comfortable read for you. Imagine a stranger pointing out the spinach stuck in your teeth all day; yeah, it might feel a little like that. But before you unleash your frustration in the comments, remember, I’m the person who would tell you if you had toilet paper trailing behind you. I’m here to voice the unvarnished truth that everyone else is thinking, so take a breath before you start firing off responses, okay?
Let’s dive right in, shall we?
Who’s Cheating?
Don’t give me that look, JackAndJill. Unless your mom named you that (if so, my condolences), there’s no reason for adults to present themselves this way. As far as I know, Comcast hasn’t merged with Facebook, so there’s no such thing as Facebook Buddy Bundles. You both know the rules against this double identity nonsense, so why are you bending over backward to get around them?
Maybe it was an honest mistake. Just a heads-up: when Facebook asks for the name on your ID, they’re referring to your actual name, not that fun “VacationBuddies” tag you picked up in Cancun. Oh, you already knew that.
So, we’ve come back to trust issues. Honestly, your public display of paranoia is making everyone feel a bit awkward.
“Trust issues?” you might argue. “We don’t have trust issues!” Sure, EmilyAndTom, if that’s your narrative, we’ll take it, but your joint account is stirring up many more questions that deserve attention.
First off, who am I even interacting with right now? I need a voice verification or some sort of “I’m not a robot” test. Am I just supposed to assume it’s you, buddy?
“Hey, remember that time you thought you might be pregnant because of the insurance guy? Haha, good times.”
“Uh, this is actually Tom.”
“Oh. Wow. Can you just let Emily know to reach out?”
This whole situation is just uncomfortable.
If there’s no infidelity involved and this was a mutual decision, it leads to the inquiry: Is this how you guys operate in real life? If that’s the case, yikes. During a dinner date, does one of you speak on behalf of the other when the server asks if you want cheese? If you can’t make it to the OBGYN, does your partner go for you because “same”?
No? That sounds ridiculous, right? Because you’re two distinct individuals with different social circles, families, and, yes, doctors?
“But my partner doesn’t go online much! We share family and friends! His job doesn’t allow him to have a Facebook account!”
Please. sips tea
First off, having a Facebook account isn’t a life necessity. If your partner is iffy about social media, they can absolutely live without it. Secondly, if you truly share all the same friends and family, that’s a little Stepford Wives, but okay. Regardless, your relationships with others are unique and deserve some healthy boundaries.
And about your partner’s job—who doesn’t let employees have Facebook accounts? Is that even enforceable? You might want to re-evaluate that excuse because it sounds a bit sketchy. But let’s pretend he’s in the CIA. He could use an alias on his own account, right? I doubt your “JackAndJill” profile would evade the Secret Service unnoticed.
Look, couples sharing Facebook accounts, it’s time to rethink this whole arrangement. We all know this setup is about monitoring each other’s messages and controlling friend requests, and let’s be real—one of you probably stepped out of line and got caught. Sorry if that’s harsh, but it’s weird for all of us observing from the outside.
But do me a favor, if you feel the urge to vent in the comments, could you at least sign your actual name so I know who I’m addressing? Because honestly, it’s a bit convoluted with all these joint accounts.

In summary, if you’re a couple sharing a Facebook account, it’s time to reconsider what that means for your relationship. Each partner should have their individual space to thrive socially, and joint accounts often raise more questions than they answer.
