Might be overthinking (probably), but could be she wanted to know what you are aware of on DH's FB page and what you might not be aware of.

You're not giving enough background. Is she the sort who loves to gossip? Has she gossiped about people you know? Has she ever flirted with DH? Do you have any reason to think ill of her? We don't know any of that.

Could be clueless, could possibly not be, but from what little you've said, ???

@happycatsaid:  "It is just odd to me, that she said "I saw where your dh is on fb", when she knows d good and well she sent him a friend request."

I think you have  unspoken concerns about this "friend".  She would have had to have seen his page in order to send a friend request.

Of course that raises the question of why/how did she even know to look for his "real name" but at least she brought it up to you instead of staying quiet about the request. 

Perhaps that was an invitation for you to volunteer that you too have a FB page in your real name and she was hoping you would ask her to send a friend request to you.  Or, she was alerting you to your husband's page in case you didn't know.

@NicksmomESQ I am limited to what I have on my FaceBook page too.  I usually share stuff from inspirational pages, etc.  Most of my friends post personal stuff and that is the way I keep up with family matters such as weddings, engagements, etc.  I have a cousin who is in the hospital and she is very, very sick.  I am sad to say that this is how I found out that she is in the hospital.

Many of the married couples I know have one FB account that they share with both of their names and they sign their posts/comments with their initials so you know who is speaking.

That may be one way to avoid a lot of issues.

@happycat I would have been annoyed too.  FaceBook started out with good intentions for people to connect.  It seems like it has gotten out of control now with some posters.  I stay under the radar.......

@Marp, I am friends with her on facebook. Was before my husband got on there.

I think my husbands name popped up hers where it says "people you may know".

What she said to me in a text today was "I saw where your dh is on fb., and I wouldn't want mine on there, lol"

[happycat]

@VaBelle35, that is a very good idea. Thats what my parents do. Maybe thats what my dh and I should do, too.

You've been on fb for a week and already have angst about it. What's the benefit? I got off fb and have never looked back.

It sounds like she's had a bad experience with her husband on Facebook and was maybe trying to give you a heads up like you didn't know he had created an account.

@Msfitness, I think it's a good idea to stay under radar. I think thats what I should have kept doing.
