This guy probably fell in the swamp and was death rolled by a giant alligator. Probably won't ever find him.

this is a fact. I’ve come to find out people who post over and over how much they’re in love with each other… tend to hate each other.
I agree. All I ever think about when people gush over their spouses on line is my buddy who posted the obligatory over the top birthday post about his wife and just a couple of weeks later we found out that he had moved out and they were splitting up.
I never really use facebook, but before I stopped altogether I removed my birthday from it because I didn't want people to feel obligated to post a fake birthday wish. I wasn't on enough to wish others a happy birthday, I didn't want them to feel like they had to do it for me.
I used to work with a guy who would emphatically say "I love you!" to his wife on co-worker vicinity phone calls from the office. I knew it was doomed and was right. Saying "I love you" is great but feeling pressured to say it, on every phone call, isn't.
I too automatically assume that anyone who partakes in gushy Facebook posts actually hate each other. Social media is nothing more than an echo chamber for narcissists.
I've never understood the concept of posting some flowery soliloquy about your spouse on Facebook, as though the world needs to see what a simple conversation, card, text, etc. could have communicated directly to them. But in the end it all comes back to narcissism, which usually isn't a great trait to have in a successful relationship.
I'm not sure we will hear about the details of her death until they have their suspect in custody. A lot of times they keep intimate details of a crime secret in hopes that their suspect will reveal these details during police questioning.
Isn't the whole overally happy in public just like a trademark of most 19/20 year old relationships. There were girls I was crazy about at that age that I would have been miserable spending an extended road trip with. Obviously there are way more sinister factors at play than that... But I think that explains the YouTube personas.
Been there, I didnt get married until 40. I ended up marring 10 years younger. So far the waiting was worth it.
Indeed. If I want to tell my spouse something, I don't need social media.
Didn't marry until 47. Married a never married and 47 too. Can say, at that age and never being married has its reasons (ie both of us). So, at times it's been very difficult. But 16 years later, we're still in it and still growing. And with every difficult hurdle, the relationship gets stronger.
I think he easily could have hit her and
I think this vastly depends upon age. I'm one of those geriatric millennials so I can feel comfortable with either type of communication but many younger than me prefer social media or text messages.
Texting from a few feet away! FOR SHAME!!
But more seriously...I wasn't suggesting that spouses or significant others should never use social media. Just stating the obvious that intimate conversations and thoughts can be delivered in person.
no luck at internet dating? Its completely changed in public opinion.... (i mean if you care about what others think)

Agreed, dating / meeting folks on dating sites isn't all taboo like it might have been 20 years ago.
Honestly I haven't ever used a internet dating service. I'm getting to the point where I really don't have a choice. I prefer that it would be an organic kind of thing that I meet through a club I'm involved in or through friends or whatever but it just doesn't seem to be happening. I really hate dating, especially with people you don't know or have any history with because it's always forced and contrived.
I have someone I'm seeing but she's poly so I don't expect it to become anything substantial.
