Some people just like to have a lot of "friends" on FB. I dont think it matters to them who they are. If thats not the case, then I have no idea. It does seem a bit odd.

Or he wants her to see what he's doing, make her suffer more? Idk..?

My nephew is still FB friends with two of his exes. In his case, they actually are still friends IRL too. How long ago did this couple break up? Is it possible he hasn't gotten around to it yet? Either way the EXGF can always unfriend (and block) him if it's really bothering her.

Are you the new gf?

Are there children between them? I still am friends with my ex-husband on FB, but we were together 18 years & have 5 children together. It makes it easy for us to tag pictures of the kids etc. Other than that... we just call/text... we also live right down the street from eachother.

If not, on one hand I can understand that they were together a long time & if they breakup was amicable... then okay... but if it makes you uncomfortable... then he should unfriend her. And she should respect that.

@Red I don't think I'd worry about it too much. Posts can be set to exclude anyone you don't want seeing them, so even if they are "friends" you can still keep things private that you don't want to share.

lol @beachmommy, exactly!  jk.. I have several ex boyfriends on my fb, but at this point (10, 15 years later and more) it's more just a curiosity and 'at this point we can really just be friends' thing.  Course a lot of people have a zillion friends and could care less about who's there, or he still wants to be in touch, who knows?

Sorry for the delay in the reply.  I'm a reg and haven't had a chance to log out of my other account when DH isn't home.

Back story.

Boy-o and I dated for 3 years.  Just broke up last November.  I'm married.  Have been the entire time.  He got a gf like 1/3 of the way through our "relationship."  She knew about me.  DH doesn't know about him.  We don't have any kids together.  I have 2 kids w DH.  I am fb friends w his Mom, Step dad, 2 sister and we have numerous mutual friends.  Because of something I did he broke up w me.  I understand why he was mad.  IMHO he should get over it.  I have forgiven him a number of times in the past that should have been deal breakers. 

I offered to unfriend his family.  He told me not to.  Said that they don't have to lose me and blah, blah, blah.   I just don't understand why if he's so mad at me that we're not talking then why doesn't he unfriend me.

And I don't unfriend him because...well...I like to see that he's happy.  It's a bittersweet thing.  But after all this time I still care about him.  I know.  I should get over it, but it's more difficult than I thought. 

Does more information on the situation help?  Feel free to ask more questions.  I'll get back to them when I can.

Men are idiots?

Hahaha! Yep! Perfect answer @bellabefana ;)

Is he active on FB? Posting all the time, checking all the time? 

What I am getting at, is maybe it isn't that important to him.  He might not even think about it. 

If you are looking at this as a sign that you guys might be getting back together, I don't know that this is strong enough proof...
