We all have those friends on Facebook. You know...the people who post statuses about their SO all the time.
For the purpose of this question we will ignore the type, frequency, and longevity of one's relationship life. I want to focus on the meaning of their behavior when constantly notifying people on their Facebook about their relationship. I'm not talking about the one time relationship status and that's it. I'm talking about those people who post make out pics as their profile picture, their photo albums are full of the couple, they constantly tag the other in a status, and constant statuses about how amazing the other is. Essentially someone so annoying about their relationship I wouldn't hesitate to unfriend them.
What are your thoughts?

If I knew someone like that, it would probably annoy me a bit. It's their Facebook, they do whatever they want with it, but because many people can see their statuses, they should moderate it having that in consideration, especially if those relationships only last some weeks.

Usually that just implies that one of them are/is insecure,for the most part at least. It's best for you to just un-friend them or ignore it if it's bothering you. But still though,you should have a sense on how other people are going to perceive you if your wall is filled with statuses and pictures of each other,making out,etc.

I don't think its bad if it's a long term thing. However there are people who go from relationship to relationship and that annoys me. Its like same thing, different person.

Exactly.
I mean, I used to be sort of like that, however, it was never a "new person every week" thing. Most of our friends were mutual- we started out as best friends. Also, this was well into our relationship, namely around the time we got engaged.
I'm not so much like this with my current boyfriend. :P We will have the occasional tagged pic/etc, but not even as much as I'd like- we've been together 10 months on the 2nd, and we only have one picture of us together in existence! (Which, coincidentally, due to the other relationship being an LDR, I can say the same of.)
I don't want 1000 pictures of us everywhere, or extreme PDA profile pictures, but jeez, a pic or two of us as the months go by would be nice. :P
I don't mind mushy couples if they're steady and long-term. I just remind myself that they're in love, and it's a good thing. Not to mention that sometimes, it's an "I'm taken, eat your heart out" reminder. (Which, once again, I have a problem with being sexually harassed. Yeah, I'd kind of like for my boyfriend to be in my profile picture.)
But the new-guy/girl/partner-every-week-but-still-mushy thing is irritating as all hell.

Well... they're happy if posting such, aye?
Annoying, but couldn't complain to a single couple.

It is kind of annoying, but I just ignore it. It doesn't really affect me.

It annoys me, but hey, there's an unfriend button. It annoys me when people display affection everywhere. A kiss when you meet is OK, but making out every five minutes in school... Wtf?! It's an educational establishment, not a kissing booth.

Their relationship sucks so much they need to post on FB to make it seem ok

Facebook can be very very cruel. You just have to say the wrong thing once and everyone knows about it. Remember amanda todd who was blackmailed into showing her breasts and committed suicide by drinking bleach. Such a waste of life. Social media sites should be regulated a lot more. R.I.P Amanda Todd and all the other people who committed suicide through such sites. :( So SAD.....

I don't know why some people make such a big deal about it, they're happy and proud of their relationship and they want to show it to their friends or each other, and a way to do this is through facebook.
People who complain about people on social media, should either delete the people they complain about or get off social media. It's just the way social media works and you've gotta deal with that or get the hell out.
