YANBU. DHs ex is friends with everyone she can think of to gain access to pictures, I had to block her. And she makes me wanna lose weight too

MrsSeanBeanIsEmployable · 11/02/2009 10:23

Depends if she is your friend or not; FB friend and friend being two completely different things.

mm22bys · 11/02/2009 10:24

Yep, is she your "friend" otherwise? If not then I would reject here.

mm22bys · 11/02/2009 10:24

her, not here, never reject MN!

FAQinglovely · 11/02/2009 10:25

you could always add her as friend and block her access to your photos, and then you can nose at what she's up to and how she starts looking worse as she gets older while keeping your albums out of her sight

(but no you're not actually BU.)

AnarchyAuntSaysRomanceIsDead · 11/02/2009 10:26

Of course you are not BU.

I don't get the need to add everyone on FB. I only add/accept people who I know and am happy to share photos etc with.

CoteDAzur · 11/02/2009 10:34

If she is your DH's friend on his Facebook, she has access to your photos anyway.

newmumof2 · 11/02/2009 10:52

she is not my friend. dh asked me yesterday if i would add her so she could see our photos, i considered it for a millisecond and after i saw her pictures it was a flat out NO!!

my albums are marked private so only friends can access...

thought it was funny dh would ask me to consider!!

Newmumof2, you can also customise the permissions on photo albums so that only certain friends can see them.

beanieb · 11/02/2009 10:57

why on earth would your husband want his ex to see pictures of your life? Do they have children together or something? Maybe just get him to send any he thinks might interest her to her?

kiltycoldbum · 11/02/2009 10:58

does that mean she is your dh's fb friend, as she must have asked him then surely?

fattiemumma · 11/02/2009 10:59

let her be his friend but restrict the account so taht she does not have access to the photo albums.

or better still, let her see what a happy family life he has now. she may be pretty but your happy...and you have what she couldn't keep. HIM

VinegarTits · 11/02/2009 11:02

She sounds weird, i would have no interest in seeing any of my xp fb photos, even if i do have dc to them, i have my own photos of my kids, dont feel the need to see pics of my exes

Would it have made a difference if she was overweight and unattractive? I find the fact that you pointed out she was good looking rather odd, surely you wouldn't want an EX looking at your life regardless of how she looks? It sounds like you are a bit jealous of her, which is crazy - your partner clearly prefers you and your life... You aren't being unreasonable to not want her as a FB friend, but I wouldn't begrudge her her looks

Thingiebob · 24/02/2009 02:59

YANBU - if she is not your friend/ you don't want her accessing your photos, then you are well within your rights to refuse.
