Any exes as facebook friends?

Started by Lori aka Sonora , author of Twinfinity.org - To Twinfinity and Beyond! 5/20/2010 9:14:25 AM
I am curious if any of you have any of your exes as facebook friends or friends in any other social network.  I actually have 3 of my ex boyfriends as facebook friends.  To me it isn't weird because I never really talk to any of them, but then maybe I am just weird.
 
Am I alone here?

Actually, most of my ex boyfriends are on Facebook and are now married.  I still talk to them.  I mean, not the realtionships thar ended terribly, but the ones where there was some degree of closure, yeah, we still talk.  So....you are not alone....

I dont do facebook, but some of our friends do, and Tracy and I cant believe that they have ex's on their as friends.  Guess we are weird like that.  I think if I was on facebook, it would be disrespectful to Tracy to have ex's as friends and talk to them.

I think facebook is just trouble waiting to happen


It's good to know I am not the only one.
 
Scott- I can totally see where you are coming from.  I have thought about that myself (the trouble waiting to happen part).  I rarely, if ever, talk to them and I know I am not interested in them so I guess I don't worry, but that doesn't mean that they don't feel differently than I do.  My husband also knows that they are on my facebook.  Even so, I have thought about taking them off as friends.
 
It is always interesting to hear different perspectives.  

My ex isn't on fb, but if he were we'd be friends.  I'm friends with his friends on there, and it's not weird.  When he's in town we've met up, hung out on occasion. 
It's probably more weird for him, as I broke up with him to be with DH (but back in high school).
Not a biggie.

I had a complete psycho ex boyfriend, from years ago.  He sent me a request, but I turned it down.  He was nuts though, and I didn't want him to know anything about my family.  Just a safety thing. 

If I had a normal ex, I'd be okay with it. I've been out of the dating thing for like 17 years, so I think it would be pretty harmless.


I don't have any exes or guys I was interested in as my facebook friends.  Just too weird for me. 

Just like someone else mentioned, although you might not be interested or even give them a second thought, you don't know what they're thinking.  They might want to pick up where you left off - so to speak. 

I'm just too uncomfortable with it, so it's a no go for me.
