Bloody social media...

[Babesinturmoil]

Not sure why I'm posting but after exiting a particularly traumatic relationship last year my exes ex husband has requested to follow me on Twitter. Very weird although he is lovely and always thought of me as the voice of reason in regards to my high conflict DP (his ex DW) at the time, not sure how to handle this as it feels a bit close for comfort?..also in the same day an old ex has friend requested on Facebook. Why don't they all just go away? Bloody nosey!

The world is so small. Everybody knows everything now if you are a social media user. And the only certainty is that is will get more and more intrusive .

I also wonder what it's going to be like for our bairns when they grow up with all their mistakes permanent on social media. I bet all of us have a few incidents that we wouldn't want on the net for ever!

I know its really worrying...I wish I knew his motives...I feel like as he's associated with my ex Im not sure she's put him up to it to keep tabs. I hope im just being paranoid. Wish people would just bugger off...

I don't know why it upsets you so much. If someone asks to be my "friend" and I don't want it, I just ignore. Other people have done that to me, no problem

I said the social media thing is really worrying...not this situation. Im not getting into explaining myself when i have every reason to question why someone whose ex was psychologically very abusive towards me wants to be friends. Its a chapter in my life I have no interest in looking back on. Guess it stirred a bunch of shitty feelings up...
