Are you friends w/ your ex's on Facebook?

PrincessShay80 · May 2010

Is this werid? Does your DH know? Any of them do you ever wonder "what if?"

I have several ex's on my Facebook, some are from High school, and a few of my long term boyfriends from college and after college. DH doesn't care.

I am not just because I feel like they already know enough about my life, and not that I don't post anything on there that's private or I woouldnt put it on there I have simply just blocked them. I feel like that's my place to go to talk to my friends that aren't here where we live. I have pictures on there...nothing terrible just me and the fiance that I feel aren't their business and I have no desire to see what they are up to. I have friends that have added their exes and they talk all the time but I think it has eventually led to drama. LIkie in the long run it got weird. I think some of them do wonder what if..because they talk very serious and have had public encounters...and lets just say that it hurt them. I say it's a no for me but if you are responsible you can for sure do it and the right level. Does this make sense? (I feel like I rambled) lol

Yup, a couple. I am very close with one- i am his daughter's Godmother. I hang out/see a couple of them every now and then- usually getting together for a sporting event or out to eat or whatnot. Doesn't bother DH at all. He knows I am more loyal than a golden retreiver. He has known that from day one.

DH is even 'FB friends' with one of my exes- but that is only because they are both obsessed with Mafia Wars. :::eye roll:::

I'm not friends with any of my exes but I am friends with an old friend who could be considered weird. We both had a thing for each other at various times and went out a few times. It was more of a friendship than anything, but given our feelings, I could see DH being uncomfortable with it (he's not).

But, we're both married with kids and he lives in another state now so it's fun to catch up.

I am friends with several ex's and it doesn;t bother me or DH a bit.

I was just thinking how I'd like to have dinner with my HS boyfiend, it's been so long!

I will always be faithful to DH, no worries there.

MAprincess · May 2010

Yes, a few. I am friends with them still, so it makes sense that they are fb friends. DH doesn't care- he knows them too!

My XH and I were friends on Friendster but he stopped contacting me during that time so I think even the friendship is dead. I am FB friends with DH's ex, whom he dated for 7 years. She's really nice and has little ones -- I think we "talk" more than she and DH do.

I don't miss my exes, even the two I was deeply in love with, at all. I got back together with my first love after XH and I separated, and that was the most miserable relationship of my life. Some things are better left in the past.

I have a few. But my long term ex is not on my FB, but all his friends and his family are. I just feel like it is respectful not to and I bet his girlfriend would be angry too. They live miles from me, but I rather keep it private.

Yes the two main ones are my friends on FB. One found me and I found the other (we still have a couple mutual friends). I turned their status updates off and we really don't interact at all. Initially when we friended each other, we sent notes to catch up but that was it. Yes my husband knows - he doesn't seem to care. And yes I have wondered the "what if" scenarios. With one more than the other. But I think that is natural and I don't dwell on it.

Only one and we dated pretty briefly as we figured out quickly we're better as friends.

I'm not friends with my ex-H because I don't want to be Stick out tongue

A very old and dear friend of mine and I had a 'thing' some years ago. It was brief and nothing really came of it. We're still friends IRL and on Facebook. He's been to our house, came to our wedding, I've gone out to dinner with him, etc. DH knows and has no problem with it.

I also have a MySpace account that I set up years ago (before Facebook existed) and recently, an ex of mine sent me a message. We chatted a bit via email and plan to meet up for a drink at some point. I talked to DH about it and he's ok with it.

Yes, and DH doesn't mind.
