AFAIK you have always (or for ages?) been able to view your own interaction with another member, by going to their page and clicking on "See Friendship". Viewing two other people's interaction is a bit freaky though, so be interesting to see if that can be restricted.

Eh, like K has said the friendship thing has been around for ages, and you really have to want to look to see it. Same as the couples thing...and if you state you are in a relationship, well it's already out there isn't it?

What happens if you are friends with one and not the other and one has a restricted view? Can you still see it all?

Couple pages... I pity all men who now have their women on their back nagging to get a couple page :roll:

Hate it when folk use the 'relationship status' vindictively... Very immature...
As for couples/friends pages = preposterous!

Took me a bit to figure out how to see other people's couple pages - it's not overwhelmingly obvious. I agree that it's a silly idea and unnecessary, but I can't see many knowing (or caring) how to access those pages. The only thing on them are pictures you've shared and any posts on each other's walls and that stuff is viewable from each page individually anyway.

That's what I think too Slinks, you almost have to go out of your way to find it, and its pretty boring for me an mine that's for sure.

Never had any worries with this at all. Wonder why?
