Do DH's friends try and friend request you on FB?

DH worked with a guy about 5 years ago (before we were dating) and both this guy and the guys wife are DH's FB friends.

I've never met either one of  them. Now the wife has requested to be my FB friend.

Seriously? Awkward.... she's been "pending" for a few days now... I'm not sure what to do with her, lol

Re: Do DH's friends try and friend request you on FB?

  • Most of DH's friends are my friends too, so yes.
  • Yes.  And so do his cousins, whom I've never met or spoken to because they live across the country from us!  I never know what to do with those requests.  I added a few and then deleted them later hoping they wouldn't notice!

  • I had a male friend in high school that I am FB friends with. His wife friend requested me shortly after he and I became FB friends.  It was kinda weird at first (I didn't understand why she wanted to be friends - We have never even met!), but she wound up being one of those friends that you never hear from, so it doesn't really bother me anymore.  I think that she was just checking up on him.

  • Oh I have one even better! DH doesn't have a FB account and his exgirlfriend from when he was a junior in HS friend requested me and I have never met her, spoke to her nor do I ever want to. (maybe I should add in here that DH and I have been together since we were seniors in HS so this was his last serious gf before me)  I was on fire when I saw that she had requested me, I immediately denied it and then blocked her nosy a**.

    And, I let people hang in limbo forever, I have like 15 people right now that I can't decide on. LOL

  • yes but I'm friends with them, too.

    If someone I had never met wanted to be FB friends I would think that was weird, though.

  • Some have.  I have ignored some- people who used to be friends of his and now are almost aquaintances- seemed weird to me too.  Sometimes people just like to friend everyone they recognize, kinda strange really.
  • If you don't really know her I wouldn't accept. I only have people on there that I actually 'know'. If it was 5 years ago he worked with her and that was before you were dating than I wouldn't.

    This is true.. I don't really accept invites from people I don't know, although I did get an invite from an old boyfriends wife after he and I became FB friends like a PP-- and I accepted bc I understood she was probably just worried.
  • If I'm also friends with them, yes, if not, no.  My distant cousin (who I don't even know!)  tried to friend DH last week and he said no.  Why would you be friends with someone you don't know?  This always irks me.  It's like people are trying to have a certain amount of friends.  If I don't know you, why do I care about your pictures or status updates???

    I say delete her.

  • Yes, DH's highschool friends always try adding me to FB and I don't know about 90% of them due to him being a few years older than me. His family also always sends messages through me to him on facebook. I made him a facebook account two days ago to avoid some of this...It's turned out to be more of an annoyance now because he's sooo not computer savy so we literally have to sit there together and I have to explain the dynamics facebook a trillion times to him when he checks his account.

  • DH doesn't have FB, but I am friends with his two besties, LOL.  Otherwise, either I also consider them my friends, or I'm not friends with them.  I couldn't imagine being FB friends with DH's co-workers or their sig. others, but I really don't know them well.
  • I get my little sisters friends requesting me all the time. I've met them before but I it's kinda weird. I think they just want their friend number to go up so they look popular lol.

    If I'm not good friends with someone then I decline. I have pictures on there, I don't want people who are basically strangers looking at my stuff.

  • Yeah, I'm not accepting her...it's just random. If I don't know you IRL (Or on The Bump, lol) I don't want you on my FB! lol

  • DH's ex-girlfriend from college friend requested me on Facebook. I was a little baffled since I have never met her before. I don't know why, but I went ahead and accepted her. Never talk to her and I'm really not worried about old feelings coming up again. I guess it's kind of strange, but I don't really think about it much.
