Random Question...

...but are any of you friends with an ex on fb? One of mine asked to be my friend, and I am trying to decide what to do. We had a nasty break-up 5 years ago, but have both moved on and gotten married.

I am sure that I am analyzing this more than I need to, but any experiences or insights that you have would be great!

yes.. fb doesnt equal fvcking... if your dh is a calm personality and not jealous there's no reason not too.. unless th ex is a total douche

Nope.  I dont think that it is appropriate really (for me anyway).  I am kinda picky about who my fb friends are..

I am friends with a couple ex's on FB. I've never had a horrible break-up so I don't know if that really helps or not. DH doesn't like me talking to one of the guys, but he was with me while I was pregnant and gave my little one up for adoption, so I still talk to him. My ex's too have moved on.

Do you even really want to be friends with him? Unless you have a burning desire to know what's going on with him, and let him know what's going on with you, is it even worth the trouble?

I am friends with an ex - but we didn't have a nasty breakup.  We just grew apart.  If I had a nasty experience with anyone - I wouldn't want to be their FB friend.  But if you have both moved on and you think you want to - go for it!

Part of me thinks it would be interesting to know what he is up to, part of me is like it has been 5 years, so who cares?

I'm not.  One tried to friend me and I denied the request.  I don't think it's appropriate.  But that's just me.

I wouldn't myself friend with an ex on fb.  I do not worry about my DH getting upset, but then again he knows I would not put myself in a position to do so.

 I just wouldn't do it out of respect for all parties involved.

I dated the same guy for nine years through high school and college. We have decided not to be friends on FB, but I am friends with his mom and sister, so we are sort of still in touch. I think it really depends on how your DH would feel. Mine knows my ex is halfway across the country and no comparison to his "awesomeness"!
