I have been away from home for 2 years and facebook help me to share things to my friend. Its the only way for me to connect with the outside world.I posted our pictures kissing on facebook and he dislikes me doing it. We had big fights about it several times. He asks me to respect his privacy but I also want him to respect my interest of posting pictures. We could not come to a compromise between our opinion.I don't know why he extremely afraid of being exposed in the internet, in fact he doesn't trust anything in life. Now he said that I should do what I think is right. And I don't know what to do. I want to keep on posting our pictures but I don't want to make him feel bad. What do you think I should do in this situations? Thank you very much.

i am my own person and this is my way to keep up with friends and people i wouldn't talk to via phone. i could care-less if he doesn't like it to be honest... it's just annoying.
bottom line, do what you want as long as it's not compromising the relationship (and if it is it's not a relationship worth having)...
hope my ventilation helps... i feel better myself, :sigh: :breathe:

 I think you need to respect that he doesn't want pictures of himself on the internet like that for what ever reason he has. That does not mean that you can't have your pics on the site, just not the ones with him. It's a compromise that I see working. Or see if there are just a few that he is fine with having up on your page so that people know he's your bf.
I personally don't have facebook but I know that there are pics of me on people's pages. He may be concerned because that pics could be used against him by employers and other people.
