Gah. Facebook is EVIL.
After much chatter about it from all, I finally gave in and created an account. I added a few people...

...and then it suggested as a possible "friend" my ex-wife.

Morbid curiosity struck and I clicked on her page, but as I'm not a "friend" it only displayed a little bit of info. But in that info were various family members of mine that she had as friends, and some of our old friends who I have lost touch with.

I now have a load of odd feelings flooding me- nostalgia, sadness, bitterness, and a deep sense of loss that I thought I had put behind me. It has opened up a few old wounds a bit.

And I'm out of beer. Dammit.

A lot of people (including me)
just add names they recognise to their FB accounts.
I recently added the ex husband as he's actually turning into a good friend (despite his rants on here last year) and thus added half of our old mutual friends who were his friends to begin with, but he's also done the same thing and added a bunch of my friends who he remembers.

Wish I could give you some advice, but the above is all I can say. Meanwhile, I have a six pack of Bud..........

Y O Y O Y O Y
do people inflict this sort of thing on themselves? Although I have curiosity about ex girlfriends, I would never look them up in any medium. Even by a medium.

It only leads to what has happened.

But my sympathies to you, you twit.

Hey dude
The block feature in facebook is very handy. It essentially makes it appear to both of you as if you simply don't exist. Allows for peaceful coexistance rather nicely.
