s/o The thing I HATE about Facebook
People I wouldn't normally talk to much, I get sick of sometimes because of drama on Facebook and comments that may get misunderstood (since a comment can sometimes be taken the wrong way).
For example, my dad created a group page for our family...all his cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. There's about 50 people in the group. Right now there's a huge thread going on with people arguing about the 2012 family reunion. I have private messages with my dad and separate private messages with my uncle (dad's brother) about this stupid thread and trying to explain to each one what the other one was "trying" to say in this thread. Ugh. I live far away from you people, why am I in the middle of family drama....oh right...thanks Facebook. LOL
Re: s/o The thing I HATE about Facebook
Ugh, stupid Facebook! I hope your family will sort their reunion drama out peacefully ... without keeping you in the middle! Are they arguing about dates or what?
My rant about it is that when M and I started dating, his ex wife deleted both of us. (We have all known each other for years.) Fine - I was actually kind of relieved. But now that we're 6 months in and pretty serious and she and her new guy just broke up (hmmm convenient timing), she has re-friended M, but will not extend or accept a request from me. She told M it was just too weird.
So, let me get this straight.
It's okay for her to email me last year asking if I wanted to date her husband when they got divorced.
It's okay for her to post dramatic FB status updates about me when she's angry at him after said divorce, insinuating that "he is some other poor girl's problem now".
It's okay for her to ask me to meet her behind his back so she can "warn me" and regale me with tales of how incompatible they were.
But now that they're divorced and get along fine, he and I are seriously dating, and I see her son a few days a week, she couldn't possibly attempt to be friendly with me ... because THAT would be crazy. Are you $#*&!(*&@# kidding me, lady?? I wish he would just un-friend her, but that would cause a storm of drama and I don't want to be the cause of that. Blergh. Stupid FB.
