AIBU to think its very rude to ask on a Facebook photo of the wedding on the brides page if she is the grooms ex or someone new?
DH doesn't see why this is a problem and is still mad at me 24 hours later for being insulted and embarrassed by it and deleting it.

Foot in mouth syndrome. Let it go, not worth getting het up about.

Nina if a comment is on one of your pphotos or your page you can just click on it and delete. Thankfully Smile

Well I can understand you being a bit miffed but as your update suggests it wasn't malicious, you may have over-reacted a little.

However, your new H has no right to be angry with you for deleting a comment from your own FB page. You can delete and/or keep whatever you like.

lborolass · 16/04/2016 22:16

From your update I'd say it might be a bit tactless of the poster as obviously you may not be the same girl but I don't understand why you're upset about it?

Why is it rude, he's not saying anything negative about you or comparing you in any way with a previous girlfriend. Tbh I think you're totally overreacting, why not have just replied to the comment and said "no, it's me smileyface" or similar

Muddah it's a cracking take to tell now! NZ take it! If it makes you feel better then go with itGrin

Treysanatomy · 16/04/2016 22:28

It's still rude! It's fine that he didn't know if it was ex or someone new but jeez you don't comment and ask Shock

You didn't overreact and you shouldn't feel embarrassed.

NZmonkey · 16/04/2016 22:32

Thanks to all posters it great to hear everyone's views.
I just don't understand why someone if they were that shall we go with curious didn't just private message DH.

If someone genuinely wanted to know the answer to that question, the could have pm'd a mutual friend, asked your DH when they next saw them etc... Unless they were really socially inept, they were just shit stirring.

PaulAnka - you are easily my favourite poster on here.

Cocoabutton · 16/04/2016 22:36

I think your DH really out to let it go - your reaction was not worth being mad over the next day, surely.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 16/04/2016 22:40

Songbird awww schucks! Grin

It's a bit fucking rude to do it on the bride's own page where her name is clear to see, I'd say! Slightly different if it had been the groom's page, but really?!

Paul - I have a similar story. My DH's cousin was getting married for the second time, his best man had also been best man at the first wedding (TIP - NEVER DO THIS).
He'd done really well all wedding, but after a few too many beers, it was time for the bride and groom to leave in traditional fashion, so he grabbed the mike and said "And now it's time for the grand exit - congratulations and good luck to Groom and FirstWife'sName!"
shocked silence and then "I mean Secondwife'sname of course"

Apparently he'd been saying to himself all evening "Don't say Groom and FWN, Don't say Groom and FWN", so of course he'd got "Groom and FWN" in his head, hadn't he, and that's what came out of his mouth! Grin

Not sure the second wife ever really forgave him...

Molehillfromamountain · 16/04/2016 22:44

People can be odd with Facebook comments, I recently had a baby and posted a pic of me holding him as he met his big sister for the first time. Somebody wrote "Whose baby is that?" Confused
I didn't delete as I figured others would just read it and think "what a weirdo!"

You are not being U, they are rude and thoughtless.

AcrossthePond55 · 16/04/2016 22:48

I think I'd be a bit more concerned at why my new husband was still upset about you deleting a comment ^on your own FB page' the day afterward. Unless you tore him a new mudhole about it or something.

Obviously the guy who posted the original comment is, to say the least, a wee bit socially inept…and that's an understatement.

gincamelbak · 16/04/2016 22:48

At DH'S cousin's wedding, i wrote in the guest book a lovely message to "Bride and Groom's Brother - congratulations! Etc etc".

I had a mental blank and got the wrong names. And realised as i was signing my name so made my name up too in order to cover up the name mistake.

I didn't mean it. My brain made me do it.

Molehillfromamountain · 16/04/2016 22:49

Thumb that made me chuckle. Reminded me of DH, who when asked by the registrar as we registered our sons birth what date our wedding anniversary was gave the date of his first marriage Hmm he was mortified.

NZmonkey · 16/04/2016 22:55

Thank you to the last few posters they are some great stories Grin And I definitely feel better that nothing like that happened. Phew. Think I should start counting myself lucky if anything.
