Facebook - a new way to maintain relationships?

I logged onto facebook today, and the posts that I saw made me wonder. I know a few couples, no offense to them but I think their love is becoming a victim of facebook. Every post that one posted, the partner had to 'like' it, or have a mushy comment on it, to prove that they are together even if their status reads single. It's like a proclamation to the world, guys stay away this one's mine. Hehe... Like commenting and keeping a track of your partner's posts has become an important part of life. I can actually imagine people logged onto facebook and refreshing the page time and again to see if there's a new post, or reply to their post.

And some to my amazement were actually having a one to one conversation through the posts, which were public to all. I wonder, what do people do these days? Just simply wait for their respective partners to post something? Or their life simply revolves around each other? Where did the passions and having one's own time to oneself disappear? Am I too weird in not wanting this public disclosure, and wanting to do something of my own, having my time, my set of friends and my LIFE!
