Oh Facebook

I did something that I've never done before.. EVER! I deleted my Facebook. It's crazy, I only thought about it for about ten minutes, but that is all it took for me to realize how much Facebook was hurting me.
First of all, every time I see a pregnancy announcement it makes me happy/sad/frustrated because I'm legitimately happy for whoever it is, but it reminds me how I'm not pregnant yet, and frustrated because I've been trying, and it hasn't happened yet. I'm a selfish person because I can't leave it at being happy for them without feeling bad for myself. I'm terrible. Anyways, it will be better for me not to see it so I don't get anxious.
Another thing that is really bothering me is how people present themselves on Facebook. Please don't fill your Facebook with all this Bologna about how your life is perfect. Nobody's life is perfect, we all live imperfect, slightly crazy, lives. And that is what makes life beautiful. Don't try and present yourself as perfect. You don't have to prove yourself or your relationship on Facebook. Cause I'm not buying it anyways. I'm not saying don't be happy, because I love happy posts!
Just be realistic about it for Pete's sake!
I read a post today from someone who was going on and on about how their wife was the "best wife ever."
I'm not sure if this bothered me more because he is saying (indirectly) I am a worse wife, or because his wife was confiding in me about how she was struggling in their relationship just a few days prior. Everyone has their ups and downs, and that's ok, but please don't imply that every other wife out there is worse than yours. Truthfully, this really shouldn't bother me, but it does, and dumb Facebook stuff like this is why I deleted it. Now it doesn't have to bother me.
I suppose I should go apologize to my husband for getting mad at him for deleting his fb a few weeks ago.
Here is to being happier and not wasting my time.
