I've been seeing my bf for almost a year. I've posted before about what I consider to be slightly odd dynamics between him and his ex. They have dc together whom I've met. I've also met the ex for a couple of minutes, just to say 'hi' at her request before I was introduced to their dc, but that was all.
As I say, there have been a few incidents to date and then, out of the blue I received a friend request from his ex on Facebook and I just feel really odd about it. Bf and ex are not friends on FB but she is still friends with most of his wider family. I'm absolutely fine with this, no jealousy on my part.
AIBU to be suspicious of her motives? Why would she want for us to have access to one another's profile? I am quite selective about who I have on FB and feel very odd about the prospect of a near enough perfect stranger having access to lots of information about me, my past (nothing dodgy btw) and my DCs.
BUT, AI(also)BU to reject it? I feel like I've been put in an awkward position because it will probably come across as petty if I decline her request. I don't want anyone to harbour any ill feelings when there are DC involved. I think if I'd met her a few more times and I'd been together with bf longer or we were married, I'd feel a bit differently. But as it stands, I don't feel comfortable accepting her request. WWYD if anything?
