Re: FB, isn't this weird?

My H's uncle passed away a couple of weeks ago.  It was very hard on his whole family as it was totally unexpected.  Well for the last week or so, someone is using his FB page and it's really creeping me out.  I keep seeing the little green light on showing that he's online, and yesterday he was playing Mafia Wars!  The only person I can think of that would be using his account is his wife, but why would she do that?  Why isn't she using her own account?  Is this creepy or is it just me?  It's creeping me out anyway.  Would it be wrong of me to unfriend him?  I'm sure she wouldn't notice...

Not to sound crass, but its not like hes going to know if you unfriend him. I think thats very strange that his wife, or someone else, is using his FB account. I find it strange when that happens when both people are alive, let alone only one of them.

A little strange.Perhaps she is logging on to his account so when she logs on to her own it shows he was active recently and in some warped way makes her feel better?

My uncle died 10 years ago and my aunt still has his name on the answering machine.  It creppys me out so much. Her reason?  She does not want potential bad people knowing there is not a man in the house.

That would upset me a lot if I saw my friend online who passed away last year. Her facebook account is still open and I look at her page when my sister is logged in, so if it showed active I would probably freak out a little. In you case, I would probably unfriend him, and I doubt anyone would ask why.

uh yeah, thats a little creepy. I dont think it would be wrong to unfriend him.

She probably won't notice. If I were you, I would unfriend, or at least block from feeds, etc. I get creeped out by shadows. That would terrify me.

Last winter, a friend of our's fiance passed away tragically. He would go on her FB account and put status updates saying things like "Melissa is up in heaven watching you all". Or "Melissa has finally met up with grandma, uncle, and fluffy in this beautiful place they call heaven". I un-friended her. It was FAR too creepy for me.

That is creepy.  I can see maybe to put out a message or check addresses or the like but to play mafia wars?  Unfriend.
