Boyfriend’s ex popped up in ‘people you may know’ on FB

We have no friends in common, boyfriend is no longer friends with her on FB which suggests that she’s only popped up in the ‘people you may know’ but as she’s been having a nose at my profile. This is fine, my profile is totally locked and no information available for public view other than my name and profile photo.

But…. I thought this wasn’t supposed to happen! I thought it was just a rumour that this happened and Google suggests that it is. But why else would she be there? She loves on the other side of the country and we have no one in common at all! I have looked up my ex, my ex’s now wife, my boyfriends other ex’s (not the one that I think looked at my profile as I couldn’t find her Blush), my boyfriends ex wife’s new husband, various friends ex boyfriends. And now I’m shitting myself. Will my stupid FB profile pic be smiling at them on their ‘people you may know’ page SadSad

You will have people in common indirectly. We all do!

I wouldn't think anything into it.

It could also mean your boyfriend has previously searched his ex…

Everyone does it, don't give it a thought. I've seen holiday pics of people I've never even heard of. Worst case scenario someone thinks you might have seen their profile, so what? I really wouldn't worry

Um yes.

More likely that the FB algorithm has picked up that they used to be very very close (even though no longer connected) and that you and bf are now very close too - so taking a punt the chances are high you know each other. And FB is right because you do know who she is!
