I got another (IMO) crazy fb friend request the other day and I want your opinions.
Some background: I have never been close to any of my cousins because they are all at least 10 years older than me and my mom's brother's family has always lived in SC and rarely came to visit. I actually haven't seen any of my mom's brother's kids since my wedding (aka 5 years ago). I did recently friend my cousin K, though, and she's been liking everything I post. That's fine, whatever.
Some more background: My wedding was actually the last time K and her now ex-H (is there an actual abbreviation for this?) were "together," as it came out shortly after that she had been cheating on him. My aunt and uncle weren't very supportive during the divorce (they really liked her H) and she ended up turning to my mom. They have a very good emailing/phone call relationship now, which was not true before this all happened. K is still seeing the "other man" and my parents actually met him once when they dropped in to say hi during some road trip they were taking.
So, in case you haven't figured it out already, my cousin's bf sent me a friend request. Is this not so random?! I haven't accepted and my mom is telling me that I should, for K's sake. But...I don't know this dude! And I have no idea why he would even want to be my friend. And that's kind of skeeving me out.
Am I overthinking this? WWYD?

I think I need to amend the background information. When I say I have never been close to my cousins, I mean I don't have any sort of relationship with any of them. Like I said, the last time I saw K was my wedding. The time before that was my grandfather's funeral. The time before that would have been my sister's wedding, but K just had a baby so she sent her H alone. Time before that, our grandmother's funeral. Sensing a theme? And there was no communicating in between these times outside of Christmas cards.
I think I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that she and I are fb friends, so the bf thing threw me for a loop.
