I recently encountered this isssue myself, and my stance with social networking in general is that I like to maintain my privacy. What I enjoy in life is for me to enjoy, whether others know about it or can see it is of no importance to me. Your partner should be secure enough to know that FB is not REAL life. If you have a mate who is flirtatious on the site, that is the issue you need to focus on, not the posted status. There was life and relationships before facebook, people forget!
i completely get what you're saying. I think that at the end of the day it boils down to the fact that our society has evolved into a very voyeuristic one. We love to see what everyone is doing, keep tabs on our friends, etc... But about 10 years ago it wasn't so easy to do so. This problem didn't even exist ten years ago. So is the "relationship status" issue actually about how we (and our partners) DTR or is it about what people (outsiders) think???
I really don't know how I would feel about that. I think that if me and my guy are on FB and we have our status married to and we separate and he wants to leave it that way I might want him to change it eventually but not right away because if you separate and move on I would not want people thinking I am cheating because I might talk to other guys and they will see that status and it kinda makes it look like I am the type of person that is easy and cheats on her man.

@newchick10 I agree here though, I think this is the exception. If you are married it should be pronounced on facebook just as it is on your hand.
