Re: Facebook Friends with Ex?

  • My ex from college isn't on Facebook. If he were, I'd have no problem being friends with him - we ended things mutually.

    The guy that I dated from high school and a few months into college (we went to the same college), we had a small fling 6 months before I started dating DH. That ended badly and I prefer to not be friends with him on FB or IRL.

  • I'm friends with a couple of my ex's. None of them ended badly and I have no issue with them knowing what I'm up to. I'm friends with one of my ex's moms too. There's one ex I'm not, because things didn't end great, only dated for 6 months and he was sort of obsessive and it was weird. I just didn't want him to know what I was up to it creeped me out.

  • I'm not, but only because I was in relationships with them before Facebook. I wouldn't seek them out, but if they friend requested me I would probably accept. I have to admit I'm curious about what they're up to.

  • Depends.

    Basically, anyone I dated prior to college, or after FB existed, I am 'friends' with. The time in between, that's pretty much no.

    I was friends with one of my college exes but I got un - friended once I started dating someone else (10 years and 2 boyfriends after we broke up) apparently he only requested me to see if we could rekindle things.

    I feel like this sounds like I dated a million guys. Haha in reality, I don't think do. It also makes me feel really old.

  • I am not friend with him on FB. But my parents are. Which i didn't care for at first but now I could care less. Sometime I wish I was just so I could see if he is happy. Because we where together for 4 yrs

  • My H was my only REAL relationship. I had a really odd love life before him. I would end up hooking up with my friends and we would do this weird dance of are we or aren't we for awhile and then nothing ever happen. Im serious this happened to me more then I care to admit, but because of that I am friends with most of them on FB just out of the fact that we never were more then "friends with benefits" 

    That sounds worst then it really is, i swear! hah

  • I think the only one I'm not "friends" with is one that doesn't have a Facebook.

  • H was my first adult BF. I wouldn't even bother with the guys from when I was in junior high, like they even counted, or high school.

  • I said depends. But currently I am not friends with any ex's...mostly just due to moving on in life and losing touch and I regularly go through my list and delete people who I don't have anything to do with anymore. I have 2 ex's who I am intentionally not friends with (things ended bad or I don't want to know whats up with them), but I am friends with a guy who I know liked me and I liked him but nothing ever came of it. If an ex added me I would probably accept, figure out where they are in life now, and then either leave it at that or delete them again if they are not the type of person I want to know about my life as it is now.
