Facebook Dilemma:

[Sleeping in EQ]

Do you have a policy about adding old girlfriends/boyfriends to your Facebook?

A girlfriend from 20 years ago has "found" me.

[Babs]

This is why I don't have an account. I know that's super presumptuous and egocentric of me, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.

ditto. my facebook policy: don't use it. It is on an inevitable trip to the myspace graveyard, anyway.

pretty soon people are going to wake up, look at their lists of long-lost contacts and old HS acquaintances and ask themselves, "why the hell do I care what some of these people are doing at any given time in the day?"

[New Mexican Disaster]

They are all my friends. They can see how fat and bald I have gotten, to go along with my unappealing personality. So, I guess the idea of a spark kindling doesn't really come up.

I've got a few of my Xs on there. They are all moms and live in different states. Also my wife has access to all my online logins and frequents my posts and stuff all the time (I never log out and so that stuff is going to be on the screen when she sits down anyway even if she didn't know my passwords which she does).

I haven't added any of mine. Gidget had all of hers (that had Facebook accounts) until one in particular started posting some inappropriate things like "if things don't workout you can move here." And trust me that was the most benign thing he said. After that she deleted all of hers.

[Pheidippides]

As I'm pretty sure I'm on the short list for approval when polygamy comes back, I have been sure to add all of mine.

[falafel]

I haven't added any old girlfriends. I haven't really added anyone, actually. I just wait for people to add me. I was added my one of my old girlfriend's husbands, who I was never really friends with. Strange.

EDIT: her husband - she only has one.

My wife added one who she had not seen in 10 years. Everytime she would post something he would comment, it was completely excessive, also everytime she would log in he would start chatting with her. We were waiting for an email from her sister one day, so I jumped in my wifes yahoo account and he had sent her an email with his phone number asking if she wanted to go to lunch. This concerned me a bit but I obviously turst my wife, about a week later he sent her a private message on facebook asking questions that you dont ask someone who is married. She deleted him after that, and he sent her a private message saying he was sorry and almost begging for her to re-add him, he said that what he said was taken out of context (which is bullshit).

I copied the message he sent her and sent it to his girlfriend of 5 years. He has not sent my wife anything since.

I got Mrs. wuapinmon's approval for one of them. The other one is my optometrist and Mrs. wuapinmon likes her.

That's awesome. Unfortunately, there are a lot of these types of stories.

[pellegrino]

It was always extremes with me. I was either really good friends with girls I dated and we hung out in group settings afterward or when it ended it was clear neither of us would ever see each other again. So far those two extremes have held up.

My wife knows the only woman besides her that I was ever serious with and they like each other (at least my wife likes her, I'm not so sure the ex reciprocates). She lives in Italy and we communicate through snail mail because she has no interest in the internet. I think I'm safe.

Awesome. Yeah this guy had something fierce for Gidget still IMO. Gidget said he had a girlfriend though. But he would call Gidget babe in every message and chat. Then he posted this Ne-Yo song:

Opening verse lyrics:

Maybe this decision was a mistake.
You probably don't care what I have to say.
But it's been heavy on my mind for months now.
Guess I'm trying to clear some mental space.
I would love to talk to you in person.
But I understand why that can't be.
I'll leave you alone for good I promise.
If you answer this one question for me.

I just wonder,
Do you ever,
Think of me,
Anymore, do you?



That's when I said he had to go.

Wow I would have done the same thing. This kid was chatting with my wife one day, and he made a comment about when they used to date, and she said well "cougjunkie" is the lucky one now. Or something like that talking about me. 3 weeks later he sends her a message that asking about hooking up 10 years ago and what his chances were and then says "because the other day we were kind of talking about sex and stuff". I read the messages and there was nothing about sex, hooking up, etc. Total tool bag trying to see what he could get away with and feel her out.

I guess he lives in Lehi too, I have a feeling if I ever run in to him I will have a hard time not beating his ass.

The only ex-girlfriend that I ever cared about is now my wife's visiting teaching partner.
