writes:When my husband and I met and became serious about each other,we both agreed that we would not participate in any of the dating/social networks. We've both seen so many couples run into problems using these sites. Plus we really don't have the time to devote to it the way people expect you to. However, today when I came home for lunch, my husband's computer was sitting on the counter and I thought I'd check my email. When the screen came up there was a message, "Thank you for joining My Life." When I googled My LIfe, it appeared to be a dating/social network idential to Facebook. I'm thinking, what just happened here? When I asked him about it a few days later (No I didn't freak out the minute he got home) he denied signing up for the account, even though I saw it for myself "Thank you for joining My Life"....Should I be concerned about this?

 Yes, you should be concerned. There's no way he could've accidentally joined that site, and the fact that he's now trying to hide it from you is a red flag. If this was just a case of innocent curiosity, I don't think he'd feel the need to lie about it.
There's a chance it could mean nothing, but considering which site he happened to choose, I'd say that chance is pretty small. Why else would he lie? If he was really looking to connect with old classmates, friends, etc. and wanted to join something like Facebook for that purpose, there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to talk to you about it. Some may say 'it's just a site, he's just looking, no big deal', but treating it that way is how problems with networking sites arise.
Has he been acting differently lately?

When you join MyLife, it requires you to import your contacts and spams the contacts you import with a link to join in etc. Its possible your husband may have gotten spammed due to one of his friends joining MyLife. Do not read much into this.
