A year ago I posted this: No More Facebook For Me

My husband was adamantly against facebook and I decided it wasn’t worth the strife in our marriage and let it go.

Patience is a good thing.

I started getting friend requests from people that I hadn’t seen in years that I still cared about, and also from family that I never get a chance to talk to we’re all so busy. There were also fan pages at San Jose State University which get more frequently updated than the main website pages, like the career center page.

So, I approached Robert about facebook again, months later. He was annoyed, but said he’d think about it. I would wait a long time, and then ask if he’d given it any further thought. So, over time, and mentioning that I wouldn’t let facebook distract me from doing what I need to be doing.

Just yesterday I asked him about it again, and he said he was fine with it. We’ve basically made a pact. I get to use facebook as long as it doesn’t prevent me from doing what I need to be doing. If I ever start getting on facebook instead of doing what needs doing then no more facebook for me again.

I think it’s a fair trade.
And, it was worth the wait.
