Past hookups: Should you stay Facebook friends?


Question Posted Saturday March 5 2011, 1:01 am

22/f.

I'll make this to the point. I was browsing my boyfriend of 7 months' Facebook, and discovered that he is still friends with girls on Facebook who he has dated (not been in a relationship with) Is this right? I don't have anyone I've ever been remotely involved with on Facebook anymore, but before I speak to him about it, I just wanted some opinions/thoughts on the matter. BTW, I'm not angry and don't intend to approach him with anger, just curiousity.
Thanks!

It's just facebook. I wouldn't look too deep into it. But, if he messages these girls or writes on their walls, etc... I would definitely have a talk with him & tell him that you don't like it. But if there's no signs of them acknowledging each other, then I wouldn't even give it a second thought.

I don't see it as a big deal. I am friends with some of my exes on Facebook mainly because we are still friends in general, and still keep in contact.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Just remember he's with you. :)

It seems like it's right for him.

I'm friends on Facebook with many people, include some exes and some past causal hookups.

So is my boyfriend.

I don't see the big deal.

So, when you speak to him, you might want to acknowledge that he, and many people, probably don't see any problem with this. Not everyone purges their past from their life. Actually, I think it's probably a good thing to be dating a guy who doesn't always have bad 'break ups' and can stay friends with people he was once involved with...

Well, it could be just because he wants to continue being there friends or maybe because he forgot he had them on there. Or because he's curious about what they are up to these days.
I honestly thing you should talk to him, calmly and express your feelings.
It isn't wrong that he still has his ex girlfriends on his facebook, but unless he is their friends, there is not reason to keep them on there.
Good luck!
