    Are you friends with ex-girlfriends on Facebook? If so, how do you deal with them? Do you allow them to read everything you post? What about when you have a new girl friend or you move up and get married? Do you still keep them as friends?

    I have a few old girlfriends that are still my FB friends, but they are either married now, or long term relationships, or at least decent human beings that I've been friend with for a long time.

    Now the quick hook-ups with the skanks from my college days? No.

    I did have to block one of my exes though. She kept messaging me about "hanging out" again.

    I have a couple ex-girlfriends as friends on FB. The only ex that I have blocked from seeing my posts is my son's mom. She was commenting on my status updates and it drove me crazy. The only reason we are friends on there to begin with is because its the easiest way to communicate with her about her visitations with him.

    Okay now why I ask this question.

    I've been married for almost 10 years. This chick I dated for like 2 years between high school and first year in college tried to "friend" me on FB. We were pretty darn close at one time and I had some good memories with her. It was not too bad of a break-up and she was a decent girl.

    If I say yes, how do I explain to my wife who she is? "Ahhh yeah she was a chick I dated for like 2 years in college that I have not seen for like 10 years. Ummmmm yeah.....


    If I say no, then I will feel bad because I'll feel like a jag-off prick and would not mind seeing what she is up to.

    Yeah a few of them. I was engaged once and shes not on there...it ended bad and I have no reason to wanna know anything about her these days, and def dont want her knowing about me. And theres a few short things here and there that I never had on fb in the first place. But over all I dont care if they wanna stay "friends".

    Yeah, I have a couple of girls I dated on my facebook page. Not all of them though, only the ones that aren't dirt bags. No, I don't keep in touch with any of them but figured I wasn't going to snob them when they sent requests. My wife doesn't care and knows the last thing I want in my life is another woman.......one is plenty right now.

    My ex-fiance stalked me for quite a while on FB even though I never "friended" her. That's what happens when you date your sisters best friend I guess......hindsight is always 20/20.:busted:

    Not really an EX-girlfriend.... but I did date this one for a while. BUT... as life would have it, I married her roommate and the not really an EX was our maid of honor. She's a sweetheart Georgia girl. We stay in touch by email and phone. She's not really a girlfriend..... she's better than that. She's a real lovely friend.

    I consider most of my exes to be wh0res, so no. If you have any hint it may upset your wife, then leave it alone.

    I have them as friends, so they can see how much more fun i am having with out them lol. If i really cared i would just skip their posts. If i had a really bad break up...then i might un-friend them.

    Is your wife the suspicious/paranoid type? Have you given her any reason to be?

    I think it's more important to keep your wife happy than to be a jag-off to a woman you haven't seen in more than a decade.

    If your wife isn't the paranoid type... and you're not wanting to friend this woman because you secretly still lust after her... then go ahead and friend her and bring it up to your wife before she asks 'who is this person'. You could play it really safe and ask... "honey, would it bother you if I accepted a friend request from a girlfriend back in high school?" (that seems kind of sissy-ish tho'.)

    K has some friends on fb from his high school days. Men and women. Doesn't bother me. (of course, those women are OLD! lmao) I have several friends on FB that K refers to as my 'boyfriends'. He knows we have long, steamy conversations about deer, fish, guns and gardening. hahaha.
