I had a strange conversation myself...

First off I have lived in WV all my life, HH was born here but moved to SC when he was little and grew up there. He moved back here when he was 19 and thats when we met.

After we'd been dating a few months I got a friend request from a lady in SC saying she was a friend of HH's family so I accepted her. Come to find out she was the mom of one of HH's exes. Since then I've gotten a few messages from her, congratulating us on our engagement, wedding, etc. and just asking how HH and his family are (HH only has a myspace but he never checks it).

So last night I'm on FB and I get an IM from her asking how we're doing. I tell her we're doing great and we make small talk for a few minutes, then all of a sudden she says "I hope to meet you one day" I really wasn't sure what to say so I said that would be niceConfused. I've never met this woman before in my life so its pretty awkward talking to her in the first place since she's his exes mom. I told HH what she said and he said "yeah right" lol. It would not be nice to meet this woman, it would just be plain awkward! She's told me before that she had always hoped HH would be her son-in-law...

Sorry that was so long, I just thought it was strange and wanted to share. Anything like this ever happened to anyone else?

Re: I had a strange conversation myself...

  • that is totally weird!  I think I would have to stop responding to her. It makes me feel like she is checking on your HH for her daughter, WEIRD!
  • Yeah I've wondered that myself. We don't hear from her that often so I never really thought anything of responding to her. Now I'm not so sure...

  • Oh and I wanted to add that HH also thinks this is strange and gets irritated when she contacts us now. She used to not be this bad, we even sent them an invitation to the wedding because she was a family friend.

  • I think that's weird and honestly, I would unfriend her on FB - esp if it's making your husband irritated and he finds it strange.

    You really have no reason to stay connected with her - esp since you've never even met this woman and it's the mother of your husband's ex.

    Very true. I honestly forget all about her until she pops up with another message. I'll un-friend her tonight.

    THIS.  I think it's very strange that she requested you in the first place.  Maybe it's really the ex signing in as her mother just trying to keep tabs on your HH.  I would un-friend her.  That's just weird.  I mean, I'm FB friends with my ex from high school's mom, but I loved that woman to death and we are still on good terms.  She knows that her son and I weren't supposed to be together and it's completely NOT weird. 

    On the other hand, that same ex.... his now GF requested me as a friend on myspace even though I've never met her.  She apparently saw that I was friends with ex, his sisters, and his mother and I guess she was just trying to make sure that nothing was going on between me and ex (dude, we lived in different states).  I denied her just because it was weird.

    I agree un-friend her and move on that is just wierd! It totally feels like she is keeping tabs on your relationship so she can have her daughter move in on him as soon as there is a sign of trouble! Wierdo!!! Thats just creepy.

    nothing to do with that at all every time I say creepy I think of that creepers jeepers where'd you get those pies. Old tv commercial.

  • Very weird that she would send you a friend request in the first place and even weirder that has to check in on you and says she wants to meet you.  I would unfriend her because I doubt she's doing all of this just to be nice.

  •  Stu just totally gave me the shivers here:

    Maybe it's really the ex signing in as her mother just trying to keep tabs on your HH. 

    Ugh!!! Anyway, really glad to hear you are going to unfriend her tonight. Too weird for my liking. ;-)

    But it's totally possible!!! There are some definite creepos out there!!  Either way, un-friend her, block her, and then make sure that your profile is set to private.

    Thanks for the suggestion! Idk why I never thought of this before. I've never had to unfriend anyone before though so thats probably why. And my profile is already set to private stu!

  • WEIRD!

    this is why I disabled facebook chat... so so so creepy

  • She has been deleted. I wonder how long it will be before she discovers it and sends me another request?

  • You can put her on your "blocked" list so she can't even see that you have an account.  Maybe she'll just think that you deleted your account.

    I didn't know that! I'm still pretty new with FB though so there's alot of stuff I haven't figured out yet. I'll do that when I get home.

  • I'm wanting to say that you do it through your account settings, but I could be wrong since I'm not looking at FB right now.  Either that, or I think you could possibly go to their profile and under their picture, maybe there's a link to "block user".  Either way, you can go the the "help" thing on FB and it can tell you how to do it.
