I saw one of my ex's on FB and I see that he put the same lies in his profile about having a degree that he told me. After we broke up, I saw his brother and I asked him why he did what he did for a living if he had a degree in ______. He laughed and said he doesn't have a degree.

I denied my ex's friend request. I don't want to go there again, it didn't end well and he was a jerk that treated me very badly. I'm married now and see no reason why I need a friendship with him. That's just my thoughts on the subject.

Funny, this is pretty much my situation in reverse
I dated a girl whom I liked a lot in HS, but I ended up screwing it up. It wasnt a trainwreck of a breakup but after HS we didnt speak nor see eachother very much. Every now and then we'll bump into each other (I'm happily married for 5 years now) and we're both very cordial as is my wife. But she's denied my friend request. Not sure if A. she hates me and thinks I'm a turd, B. Is taking the same stance as you, or C. Avoiding pissing off my wife. We all have about 50-60 mutual friends. Doesnt bother me, but like I said I always thought she was a great person and 12+ years later I think it's perfectly normal to stay in touch...or am I being creepy?

she prob 'doesn't want to go there'.

I'd like to see what some old friend's are up to...but, they are the kind of people that wouldn't sign up for it. (back in the day they were against pagers/cell phones) Plus there are people I don't want to have anything to do with. Though it might be fun to get a friend request from them and then tell them to F-off...

I agree, although we use it at work as another way of marketing. When you're a nonprofit, you have to be creative!

I've been with the same man for so long (all my life ) that this whole discussion of how to handle your exes on FB is out of the realm of my existence.

I tend to agree with this. My hubby told me not too long ago that his ex-gf (first love) facebooked him and asked him to 'catch up' over a cup of coffee. :evil: :evil: :evil: Of course he said no...I just couldn't believe she had the nerve to ask. She better hope to never meet me in a dark alley at some point...

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.

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

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

psst ... I got a thing for tubbys

STAYSEA

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...

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.
