Re: Are you "friends" with...

  • I am friends with an ex that was from when I was 14 and we are even friends and have tried to meet up from time to time (with our spouses too)  :) 

    Then, any other contact with an ex is being friends on Facebook, no serious relationships were with these guys and DH totally knows about all of them and looks at their pages.  We even have a friend in common that I dated.

    I am wavering about one "ex" that I just saw was on Facebook.  This recent one I found was more of a "friends with benefits" and I am more holding back because I am curious if he will try to befriend me but then I just think this is lame and I will stay far, far away from him because there is no reason to be in contact.  

     What do you all do? think?

  • I'm friends with my ex-fiance (and first love) on FB. There's nothing there anymore since we were kids (both 18) at the time of our engagement. There will always be a special place in my heart for him, even though we didn't part on good terms. We haven't really spoken on FB, we're just "friends".
  • yes, two or three flings, no ex though.
  • Nope.  I tried to friend my ex-FI awhile ago.  He didn't accept the friend request but kept messaging me about meeting up.  I started to get the heebee jeebies about it and the way he KEPT bringing it up made me really think that he wasn't telling his wife.  Then when I called him on it he got SUPER defensive and kind of attacked me and I ended up stopping all contact with him for good at that point.

  • Flings no, but two exes are friends irl and on FB.
  • Nope! I have no desire to keep in touch with them.
  • My high school ex and I are "friends," but at most, we wish each other a happy birthday. (I actually hid his posts because he's involved in CYD and posts ALL THE TIME!)

    2 of my "friends with benefits" are friends. One I'm still really close to and his ever expanding family.

  • I am friends with my first love but I hid him a while ago. He posts constantly about his church and it was starting to annoy me.

     

  • Nope, not facebook friends with anyone I've ever called "boyfriend"

  • nope.  i've never been interested in staying friends w/ exes.  or should i say becoming friends w/ an ex, as i was never friends w/ any of my bfs before we started dating.

  • I'm FB friends with only one of my exes. But we never actually communicate. He's married, I'm married, we dated like 15 years ago for a short period of time.I was friends with a "fling" (from high school) on Myspace -- but we only chatted a couple of times when we first reconnected, just to catch up. And then nothing ever again.

    I've only ever found like one other ex on Myspace (not on FB, though I haven't searched for any of the others in a long, long time). But I had zero interest in befriending him. That was just a weird relationship for me -- I can't believe I dated the guy. He was so completely and extremely not my type, at all. He's not even someone I'd want to be associated with today.

  • I am friends with a short lived high school crush on FB, but we ended up having a much better relationship as friends than we ever would have as a couple. I remember LMAO in high school when a mutual friend of ours told me that my bewbs intimidated him too much to ask me out.

  • I am friends with 2 ex boyfriend on FB. I was friends with them a lot longer than I dated.

    Me neither. As far as I know, only one is on it and he's now married to someone I was friends with. I have considered it because we were friends before and after but the whole situation with how he first got together with his wife makes me uncomfortable with the idea. Things overlapped and then he wanted to get back together with me while with her. It was all a long time ago but I'm not FB friends with either of them. I am FB friends with my prom date, someone I have been friends with for so long but who I also found out held a torch for me for many years. I sometimes have thought about ending that friendship but we have been friends for so long and he's married now so I think we're past that coming up again. 

  • I'm friends with both of my past serious relationships. One guy was in high school and such a long time ago so it's no big deal, the other one was from college and we have a lot of mutual friends from childhood who we see a  bit so I figured it would just make things less awkward.
