Husbands old flame keeps trying to add me

So me and my husband are together ten years, and a girl he dated briefly tried to add me as a friend on Facebook. We have just two mutual friends so I don’t know If it’s possible that I came up as suggested, but then she tried again. I first panicked that she was getting in contact about another kid but unlike mine, her SM is public and she hasn’t got kids. I just declined both times but it has unsettled me. Why on earth would she be trying to contact my dh via me ? What possible reason?

I once accidentally added the on/off girlfriend of a guy I vaguely knew from the pub. She definitely thought I was going to tell her something. It was a complete accident, no idea how I did it.

Um, why don't you just message her and ask her why she is wanting to add you?

If they briefly dated at age 15 and have mutual friends, you likely popped up as a potential friend on FB because of the mutual friends. It could well be that she is nosey, nostalgic of past friendships etc. a message to say “thank you for the friend request, but I don’t think we’ve met. Have we?” If she writes back, just let her know you only accept friend requests from actual friends. Then block. That we she won’t see anything posted that allows friends of friends to see, she can’t message you and you will no longer pop up to her as a suggested friend. Alternatively, just block now
