Facebook and Relationships


Would you be mad if your boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other, adds/talks to/likes, their ex on Facebook..?





One Girls Opinion:

Yes, I would be angry! I believe people will test you to see how far you will let them get. It is not "playing games" or being "childish." It's simply human nature. Like a child looking to its' mother/father before they do something. They want to see if they're going to get a reaction from them if they do the act.

I am not saying the person is adding their ex to do any of these things. I am merely saying, there in not a reason why a person needs to be friends with their ex. On Facebook or anywhere else. I know there are different beliefs for each relationship and person but the way I see it is a person knows (or should know) how adding their ex is going to effect you. So if they add them they're disregarding your feelings over something that should not be a big deal. They should not find it necessary to add their ex when they are in a relationship.

Try asking them if they think it's okay for you to add your ex and see how they respond. If they think it's okay then do it. Act like you do not care then because it's obvious they do not care much about the relationship.

I am saying all of this because I have had a negative experience with an ex having his ex on his Facebook and it turns out he was cheating on me with her. Therefore, I may be a but biased in this answer. But I do suggest you at least express how you feel about the situation in a clam manner at first. Maybe approaching the situation as "This just makes me feel uncomfortable and can you consider my feelings in not adding him" would be a good start. If she decides not to listen or disregards your suggestion then I would be angry, yes.

Sorry, if I went a little too in depth with my answer. I just wanted to provide you with the best answer possible.
