No, because I am not an insecure ninny.
My friend's boyfriend is insecure like that and it’s such repulsive trait. I think that if he keeps it up she's going to cut his sorry ass loose. I always used to think that it was something only teenagers had a problem with because relationships are a new experience for them, but this guy my friend is with is 39 years old! I guess some people never let go of that insecurity.
I agree. I would never even think about being with a girl who got upset over my ex's. Just because were still friends doesn't mean were having sex. I'm surprised so many adults have these insecurity issues. Its really pathetic.
I agree with you. It's a sign of possessiveness, not love.
Most adults don't actually have these insecurity issues; that's why it's bizarre when someone over the age of 25 does have them.
The people voting on this post are mostly young adults and teenagers, so the results will reflect that.
My bf doesn't use fb but if he did I'd be fine with it, just like I'm fine if he's friends with exes in real life.
I'm pretty insecure, so I'd see it and my mind would run through scenarios of them getting back together again but that's where it'd stay, in my head.
I'm aware thoughts like that are irrational and I'm trying to gain some confidence to stop stuff like that but I never act on stuff like that, that could be destructive
Nope, as long as they're open and honest about their relationship with them. No cheating or sexy talking and no lying.
If they were already friends before we got together and they just haven't deleted them, that's cool. If they friended them after we got together, I might find it a little weird.
Why so many yes and no answers? You only need the two.
Anyways, That is normal, Your partner is clearly just staying friends. No need to be a stalker.
Well yes it would bug me, only because it's realy not in his character. I wouldn't be like "You fuckin dat bitch?", but I would be curious and question it a little. He's very anti-social. Like, this site, for example- way too social for him. He doesn't like talking to anyone, at all, except for those he socializes with almost every day.. So for him, getting a facebook and then adding an ex would be strange.
It would bother me.
It's not likely two people broke up because they realized they were better as friends. So a friend request from an ex sounds like trouble to me. It's not that I don't trust my SO, I don't trust the ex.
