If you noticed that there was a friend listed on a family members facebook that was of your spouses ex? One can only assume that they have kept in touch. Would this bother you?
Re: Would this bother you?
It would bother me alot, mostly because of some history and things from the past.
Even if those things werent there, it might still bother me as well...just depends on alot-who the family member is, who the ex is (I mean every once in a blue moon its not a BAD breakup and they are a good person that someone in the family might have reason to still talk to I guess). All depends on alot of factors to me.
Your husband's ex's friend is a friend of your relative on FB?
Not sure if I understood correctly ...
LOL! Example: My Mom has my ex listed on her page as a friend. <--- only for illustration purposes only. My Mom would never do that to me.
Got it
In that case, I agree with pp. It would depend on the situation, the people involved and what the relationship was like, but as a general rule I try my hardest not to let stuff like that get to me. People are going to be friends with who they want to be, regardless of what I think. It's usually better just to ignore it because bringing it up can cause unnecessary drama. JMO.
sigh...freaking nest.
It would totally depend on the ex. Most of them I wouldn't care about b/c we're still friends with them too and are friends on facebook lol. This goes for both DH and I and some of our exes (of course, these are just ex boyfriends/girlfriends... ex-spouses might be a whole different ballgame) Actually, it probably wouldn't bother me anyway b/c I could use that relative and "spy" on the exes and see what they're up to. Yeah, I admit it.
Besides, with Facebook and Myspace and those type of things, just because they're "friends" doesn't mean they're really friends. I've had some random people add me as friends that I technically know, but NEVER talk to.
Good point. Being 'friends' on FB does not equal being friends in real life, necessarily.
Exactly. It wouldn't bother me at all, but few things do.
I am friends with an ex of mine on fb, and in real life. We talk, but it is casual and no big deal. We were just ex-bf/gf, and are friends now. DH knows about it and is totally ok with it. But again, we broke up on good terms, and have both way moved on. My ex-DH is another story. I can't stand him, and my friends and family all know how much of an asshat he is, so if someone were friends with him, that would bother me. But it is all circumstantial i guess.??
