facebook dilemma - advice?

I "broke up" with my very best friend in the whole wide world about 6 years ago.  It was over a complete misunderstanding: in a nutshell, she heard a rumor (from a known unreliable source) that I was spreading rumors about her, and instead of confronting me, she cut me off.  About a month later I finally got her to return my call and she basically said "Mike says you've been spreading rumors.  F- off."  Needless to say, I did not spread rumors, and if she were really that good of a friend she would have given me a chance to defend myself, blah blah blah. 

I've missed her tremendously over the years but finally feel "over her." Yet I continue to periodically search her name and today I found her on facebook.  I really want to know how she is, but am understandably reluctant (scared?) to contact her.  Damn facebook - making me be friends!!

One last complication - she married the above mentioned Mike (which may explain why she was willing to believe him without even talking to me about alleged rumors.)

I think I need you gals to talk me away from the edge here.

  • too much drama - not worth it.

  • How many mutual friends/acquaintances do you have?

    I totally get the desire to reconnect.  You meant something to each other once, and who knows when it will be nice to have someone from that era in your life around.  However, based on the fact that she seems like a peach, she will probably ignore your request and giggle about it with her friends like a 12 year old.  If you don't know these people, no loss, and if you won't be too hurt when she doesn't accept you're request, go for it.  But if you fear it'll stir up drama with people still in your life, don't bother.

  • Since she is married to him I would say no.  What kind of true friendship is possible when you don't have at least a civil relationship with the spouse?

    You're absolutely right!  You all are.

    Ok here's a thought - one of YOU do a friend request (maybe she'll add you out of curiosity??) then you can give me an update on what's on her page.  Zoe is right - it's just a curiosity thing and I need to get a grip on myself!!!

  • Your friend is dead.  This new person is some weird alien body snatching droid in your old friend's body.  You'll only be really sad if you make contact.  If he had her ditch you, imagine what other control he has, and that she has allowed him.  Better to remember her as she was.
