Facebook ruining relationship: help?
My darling boyfriend & I have been going out for 1 yr and we love each other a lot.

However our relationship is long distance & he dislikes having me on Facebook. This summer one of his best friends added me on Facebook. He's a nice guy n has a girlfriend, however he noticed me before my boyfriend did (& now darling bf & I are together)

According to my boyfriend, his friend told him that when I came back from summer vacation that I haven't put any photos of him on there & my boyfriend got upset bc he "doesn't like hearing about my doings from his guyfriends" (his own words)

So basically, today he asked me to delete his friend from my Facebook bc apparently there is some "smoke n mirrors" drama going on...

Is my boyfriend right to do this?

Your boyfriend sounds like he has issues and is insecure. He also sounds like he's trying to be controlling and manipulative. If you know in your heart that you have done nothing wrong, then I would take this as a huge red flag and seriously reevaluate the relationship. There are lots of other fish in the sea. Please make sure you've caught the right one before you proceed further.

In relationships, there is no "right" and no "wrong".

Right and wrong divide the two people, puts them into the boxing ring to see who's gonna win. It's a really bad idea.
Couples who make their relationship work and last, do not get involved in matter of who is right or wrong. Instead, the BOTH try to please each other.
People only stay in relationships because the relationship meets their needs. Your bf is telling you that you being on FB does NOT meet his needs. It doesn't matter whether he is right or wrong. All that matters is whether or not you want to keep him.
Maybe you don't ... stay on FB.
But if you want to keep him, then you will try not to hurt him, even if you do not agree with his reaction.

Please stop belittling his emotions by calling them "drama". That is the opposite of being empathetic. Maybe you just aren't ready to have a lasting relationship ... because empathy is right there at the top of the list of what makes a relationship last.

One of the many reasons I don't have a facebook. Or any other stupid social media site.

Many people have these kinda problems with Facebook these days. Many relationships even break out of it. On the other hand, many broken relationship mends too.. Just restrict access to the guys who's been complaining your bf about you. Also assure him of your love and show him that you only belong to him. Indeed, put a picture of the two of you as a Facebook profile picture. Best of Luck!

Let's get one thing straight: Facebook is NOT ruining your relationship. Do not use social media as a scapegoat in an effort to not see the real issue.

Your boyfriend is an idiotic control freak who cannot handle you having a life without him around. If your boyfriend loved you and cared about you he wouldn't pull this crap. This is a long distance relationship. If I were you I'd cut ties and find a man who is local and doesn't try to control who you talk to or hang out with...online or off.

He's being a drama queen and a control freak. You do this and you'll end up sacrificing more and more everytime.
