  • facebook and ex g/fs dont work. Especially if you're married. just move on...just my opinion :)
    i have to agree here.

    sometimes good intentions like offering condolences are best left unsaid. especially if the break up was at all painful for one or both of you.


    to me there is no point is revisiting someone or something that was in the past. you can't look forward while looking in the rearview mirror.

    i think that might be why none of my exs that i was at all serious about are on my facbook.

    if they were i might hear about some things that i don't want to here. i don't care if they know things like what i am up to these days, but i really don't care to know what they are up to, ya know?

    like in real life, for me, it is much better to just walk away and stay away. i wish them all the best, but i don't want to know any more about them than i already know.

    I've heard about the ugliness from my kids ...

    seems like the very worst in people can come out during a breakup
    but why publicize that with embarrassment and hurt someone you once loved dearly

    ex's in my opinion don't belong in one's life unless a child is shared
    can make for unsettling trouble with the new love of your life

    Oh I'm sorry your kitty is sick :( hope feeling better soon

    did you get the turtles? 8-)

    breaking up is hard to do but it feels so much better in the long run

    psst ... I got a thing for tubbys ;)
  • STAYSEASTAYSEA Posts: 3,814
    Tubby is an understatement? I found out she was a hybrid Bobcat!!! A kitten she is 22 pounds!
    Mean as well, many scars.. be careful what you adopt!
    Yes I kept the box turtles, they dated all summer.
    Sick kitty might have kidney failure. As much as I've spent on him, sick kitty, I could have a Beemer! or an nice house?
    Facebook will never know this stuff... :lol:

    I saw a TV show once on the challenges of having the Lynxcat part of the family,
    the rewards too. They are gorgeous animals.

    Thoughts and prayers with you and kitty.

    Facebook "defriending" led to double murder, police say



    NASHVILLE, Tenn (Reuters) - A Tennessee couple who "defriended" a woman on Facebook were murdered in their home by the jilted woman's father and another man, police said on Thursday.

    "It's the worst thing I've ever seen," Johnson County Sheriff Mike Reece said, adding he had never seen anything like it in his 27 years in law enforcement in the area. "We've had murders, but nothing like this. This is just senseless."

    He said Billy Clay Payne, Jr. and Billie Jean Hayworth were killed last month after they deleted Jenelle Potter, the daughter of one of the suspects, from their "friends" list. Both were shot in the head and the man had his throat cut.

    The couple's 8-month-old baby was in the mother's arms, unharmed, when the bodies were found.

    Marvin Enoch "Buddy" Potter Jr., 60, and Jamie Lynn Curd, 38, were each charged on Wednesday in Mountain City in northeastern Tennessee with two counts of first-degree murder. The men were arrested on Tuesday.

    The case was not the first involving violence linked to Facebook. Last year in Iowa, a woman was arrested on accusations of setting fire to a friend's garage after she was defriended on the social network site, local media reported.

    In Texas, a man was accused of hitting his wife after she failed to "like" a Facebook post he wrote about the anniversary of his mother's death, according to media reports.

    In the Tennessee case, Reece said a couple of harassment cases had been filed against Jenelle Potter in court over "someone blocking her or taking her off."

    "Once you've crossed her, you've crossed her father too," Reece said, adding that Jenelle Potter, in her late 20s or early 30s, stays home with her parents and was constantly on Facebook.

    Her father, "Buddy" Potter, will return to court next week for a bond hearing after he hires an attorney. Curd, also a second cousin of one of the victims, was appointed an attorney and bond was set at $750,000 for each murder count. His preliminary hearing will be in March.

    No charges have been filed against Jenelle Potter, the sheriff said. She could not reached for comment.

    Curd's attorney, R.O. Smith, an assistant public defender, said it was "safe to say there's more to it than the Facebook problem, it appears."

    "I wish I could provide more of what went on, but there's needless to say a lot of rumors swirling around and nothing substantiated on the rumors," Smith said.

    My ex husband (been divorced since 2002) passed away 11 months ago, an ex boyfriend of mine (from after the divorce) sent me an email saying "I was stalking your facebook and saw that your ex husband passed away......I'm so sorry.........." etc. My Ex-Boyfriend and I are not facebook friends but we have stayed in contact via email (he's in another state) every now and then. I always felt like if I tried to friend him on Facebook he would deny my request as I am from an earlier part of his life, which is very different now.....and I think he probably felt/feels the same way about friending me on Facebook.............anyway, I found it "endearing" (is that the right word?) when he emailed me and said he was "stalking my facebook"............lol. I have issues........., I know.

    my ex GF tracked me down. first on myspace, then on facebook & twitter. we're both married---i am happily married for almost 4 years & she has 2 kids now. she always says stuff like "i wish i was with you"...or "you were the true love of my life." at first, i felt bad b/c i certainly don't look back at our relationship that way. after all, i ended it. so, my responses were polite at first....

    then she started sending more & more. we live in different states, but she somehow got my cell # & would call & hang up. maybe she doesn't know that iPhones tell you the location of the call? :? after i repeatedly denied her friend requests & asked her to stop contacting me, she persisted.

    so, late last year she sent me a message on FB saying that she was coming to Texas to see me & that her husband didn't know about it. again, i did NOTHING to lead her on or to encourage this behavior. it was crazy!!! i responded by saying "i have a facebook message drafted. if you send me one more message, i'm sending this message to your husband. in this message, he will see all of your previous messages and my responses. leave me alone. we broke up over 10 years ago."

    her response..."oh. sorry to have bothered you then. best of luck with life."

    :shock:

    ummm...... :?

    haven't heard from her since. :thumbup:

    That's great that you haven't heard from her since.... That's a little creepy.

    My Opinion.... Ex's are Ex's for a reason. Doesn't matter if it was a year, 2, 5, or 10 ago when it ended, it ended for a reason. So two words Delete and Block!
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    I ignored the ex's friend request, but we are both connected on FB to our sons. it actually provides an easy method of sharing pictures of the boys. and because of the kids, we have more actual contact (phone and in person just about everyday). but yeah, I would not want to connect directly. actually freaked me out when my mom found me on FB :lol:
  • I ignored my ex's request... It was many years ago, but we had a good relationship and didn't have a messy break up. We were friends for a while afterwards and then drifted apart when I changed jobs.

    We had a lot in common and were better friends than boyfriend/girlfriend, but I am happily married now and just didn't feel the need to rekindle that friendship. I guess I did it more so to avoid any drama with my wife, but there was really no good reason to accept the friend request.

    I've got my most recent ex as a friend on facebook. We share all the same friends, so I see her all the time (along with her new guy). I've blocked her from my newsfeed. I don't need to know what's going on with her at all. But when it comes to planning parties and events I may need to communicate with her, and I like using the less personal route with her.

    Another ex tried to add me a few months ago. We literally haven't spoken since the day Riot Act was released. There's no reason for me to accept at all. I think she just wants to boost her friend count.

    Is there a reason to share friends? He got those in the mediation... :lol:
    I am making my own friends.
    My ex friends only want to talk about his new girl.
    I just want to know how my cat is..
    My ex mother in law tries to talk to me about how much she wants me back and she hates this new girlfriend.
    Now I can't talk to any one..
    Don't go back in time. I have a list.. One side are things I miss.. the other side is stuff I couldn't live with.
    One side is way longer. Maybe you still love her?

    Exes are the past, and one should always try and live in the present. People should stay away from exes; trouble always comes otherwise, one way or another, usually with current relationships of at least one party.
