Weird FB Happening (NBR)

susanlovestexas

So, I had a FB email message today from an ex-boyfriend.  We dated 9+ years ago.  The email he sent just said "How's life been?"  I responded with "Life's good.  Got married again in May and I'm having another baby girl next month.  How have you been?"  It was fun to hear from him and I sent him a friend request.  He accepted while I was still online and I went to his page and looked at the pics of him and his family. 

This all happened earlier tonight and I just went back to FB and was gonna look back at his page again and try to find some of our old mutual friends that might be on there.  I searched him and couldn't find him in my friends.  So I opened the email and went to his profile from there and it won't let me look at it and has the link at the top to add him as a friend.  So, apparently he added me and then went back and deleted me, all in the span of like 2 hours.  How strange is that?

That's really weird. Although I deleted DH's step-sister on accident within hours of adding her...so maybe it was an accident?

That is really weird. I would ask him about it.

I bet he was trying to see if you were still available, then when he found out you werent - he hit the road.

Yeah, I think I'll email him back and just be like, "Hey weirdo, did you delete me already??"

I don't really care if he doesn't want to be friends.  It's just bizarre to accept and then change his mind so quickly.

Seems doubtful. He got married back in the fall of 2007.  He's still married and he was always a "good" guy.  Definitely not the cheater type.  Plus, even if I was available and interested, he lives 6 hours away.

 Maybe, he thought if his wife saw that you were friends, she'd be pissed. But he still was curious and wanted to see what was up with you. So he added you - saw what was up - then deleted you like it never happened!!

Maybe so.  I don't know his wife at all, so I have no idea how she reacts to things like this.  It's sad though if she feels threatened of a friendship between her DH and an old girlfriend who's happily married and about to have a 2nd kiddo.  Oh, well.  No big deal either way.

Perhaps his wife wasn't comfortable with him friending you... Some women are insecure like that.
