Are you friends with any exes on FB?

Sunflower777 · April 2011

I know this has been discussed before, but it's slow, so why not again.

Are you friends with any of your exes on Facebook?

I am not. I don't think it has to be that way for everyone, but I know it would make DH uncomfortable and he comes first.

What about you?

I am. I am friends with my first love and the guy I was >< close to moving across the country for. MH knows and he's cool with it. We're friends. I love to see their babies and see them so happy in life.

Guys from h.s. and a few after. Not my ex-fiance.

ETA - if the ex-f had kids, or was even married, I might be more comfortable with it. There's still some emotions there, though, so I think it's for the best. I've shared friendly exchanges with all the other exs and most are married and have kids.

Yep - I'm friend with the guy who I dated all through college (and who I was dating when I first met/becomes friends with DH. Messy break up that then made DH my rebound guy, LOL). We found each other on FB and actually went out to lunch the two of us to catch up after. He isn;t really "on" FB that much - no status updates or pics really, so it isn;t like I know what he is up to. DH knows and doesn't care. My other exes I have zero desire to friend, although I did find one and picture stalk him.

I am. And I probably shouldn't be. I would goapeshit if Joe was friends with his exwife on FB. I do think this is a bit different as he was a fuckfriend (for four years! LOL) and we weren't married.

I'm FB friends with my HS boyfriend. We were always better friends than anything else. DH knows and doesn't have an issue with it.

DandelionMom · April 2011

I am.

AnnapolisLari · April 2011

Yes. Several, including my ex-husband.

I was 35 when DH and I married and I hadn't burned any bridges. We both agreed that at our ages "I wasn't a virgin when I married you." If you're that threatened by someone on FB who lives hundreds of miles away, you have bigger problems.

minnasmommy · April 2011

nope! i have a rule that I won't be friends on FB with anyone I've fvcked. just me! I know most people don't feel this way but the way I look at it---exes for a reason, no need to revisit it! LOL that's not to say if I ran into them IRL I would ignore them, I wouldn't...just don't feel the need for them to be part of my FB world.

BubblyToes · April 2011

We both have exes in our FB friends.

femmegem · April 2011

Yes. DH is FB and IRL friends with him, too (they met independent of me).

wildfloweragain · April 2011

I am not but I don't facebook a lot and don't accept many friends. I don't think DH would like it, although I'd be fine with it and I'd also be fine with him having fb friends who are exes.

I also have family members who try to "friend" every single person I'm friends with, which is super-annoying. SO there's another reason I won't do it.

Mrs.Saxy · April 2011

yes, with ex fiance. Not friends with anyone else though.

Temp108743750006959 · April 2011

yup, plenty.

Temp970088312507122 · April 2011

Yes, with a few.

GettinNervous · April 2011

Yes, with XH. I am also friends with a few guys I dated during my teens. I did decline an ex from my late teens b/c he's a druggie now and I want nothing to do with that.

A-baybride · April 2011

Yes, we both are. The ones I'm FB friends with are ones that I've stayed friends with and been in touch, so it's not like we reconnected through FB. There are some exes that I have no desire to hear from and would turn down a request.

Only with my HS sweetheart. It is really not a big deal, my DH knows that my HS sweetie and I have always kept in touch even before FB was around. We email maybe once a year and just keep in general contact. We have never spoken on the phone and have only seen each other at our reunions. My DH gets the importance that he played in my life and knows there is no reason for him to be jealous or uncertain or anything like that. I take back the fact that he is the only ex - I dated a guy freshman year in college for about the 1st semester. We became friends a few months after we broke and were really great friends - should have never dated and just stayed friends. I am friends with him on FB but I honestly don't really consider him an ex. I just don't think its a big deal since my DH and I are confident in our marriage - its not a perfect marriage (whose really is) but we talk a lot which is what gets us through the hard parts - open communication means the world and we have always been open and honest about any communication with any ex's - heck, my DH recently ran into one of his ex's and they had lunch. I was totally fine with it and we might all get together in the future (she is also married with kids around the same age.
